Comfort in the wild.

We were very comfortable and enjoyed our visit. Beautiful accommodation with bathroom downstairs. Well appointed, I loved the tea/coffee selection. Not the deafening cicadas so much. They did pipe down for our delicious barBQ. Thanks Garry

Family Getaway for Kids Birthday

Jan and Garry were the perfect hosts and their property is stunning. We stayed for 4 days for the kids birthday and had a great time. Everything was as described and the couldn't have been made feel more welcome. I would highly recommend a stay at this place. Jan and Garry thank you so much for having us and fingers crossed we'll be back at some point.

Bush sanctuary.

We loved our stay. Place was beautiful and clean, had all the amenities and plenty to entertain the kids inside and out. Jan and Garry were wonderful hosts and very helpful when needing assistance with our trailer. It was very peaceful and lovely being surrounded by nature, will definitely return in the future. Highly recommend.
