Property with a lovely country view
This property has a lovely view from the house and wrap around verandah. It is pet friendly and our two little dogs loved running around the yard and walking on lead around the farm. The wood burning stove and gas heater warmed the kitchen and living room really well. Being city people we did miss having internet connection but it was relaxing.

peace quiet private and wildlife
I really enjoyed my stay here in this beautiful old farm home. My dogs and I loved the location and seeing/hearing the birdlife, and wildlife about was wonderful. The house for one and two dogs was a tad large..but we made it work. Wonderful location for friends or family. Off grid and a great place to catch my breath. The house is old, the wood fire and gas heater kept us toasty as the temperature plummeted at night. Bed was so comfortable. Great breakfast supplies (my only contribution is I would personally prefer peanut butter to jam but that is a personal preference). Thank You so much for the gift of chocolate! very unexpected and appreciated. Eggs bacon bread, tea, plunger coffee, or instant. Plus a basket of treats on offer to purchase (being out of town this was a wonderful addition I did not take up but I was very tempted) For being off grid the water pressure of the shower was great, and hot. Loved staying here and my dogs enjoyed it too. So lovely to be made to feel so welcome all of us, and Treacle and Busby say thank You so much for their Dog treats. so kind.

Peaceful and restful with great country views
Enjoyed a wonderful few days with very comfy old world atmosphere. Great wild life, close to country townships with plenty of personality. Our little doggie also enjoyed the stay.
