We often make enough noise and have Italian maremma sheep dogs who we take on leaded walks around the property to help keep the snakes at bay however, they can still be around.

Fantastic Getaway
Myself and a group of friends spent a few nights at Amy’s property in Bywong on a mountain biking trip down the East Coast from Brisbane, QLD to Bright, VIC.
The property is a short 20 minute drive from Canberra CBD and all the amenities you need, set on a large average property it is secluded, peaceful and relaxing.
Our host was kind enough to provide some provisions to ensure we didn’t go hungry on our first night, along with some locally produced beers and wines for purchase.
The property has been nicely renovated with a functional kitchen, fire place, laundry facility and outdoor dining w/ BBQ.
Thanks again for the lovely stay.

Pretty Country Retreat
This little cottage has been freshly decorated and provided comfortable accommodation for our family weekend away. Very quiet with pretty rural views from the verandah.
Although the cottage sleeps 8, the living spaces are small and our family of 6 adults just fitted comfortably.
The provision of some breakfast supplies is a great idea but clearer communication about what is provided would have helped planning (note to others - bring butter and extra milk - it’s more a starter pack than 2 days supplies).
Finally, charging a fee for a slightly later checkout on Sunday in low season when the property is not heavily booked got me offside. Even hotels are realising a little bit of flexibility buys a lot of goodwill.

Pine Tree Cottage
We had a lovely time in Amy's gorgeous cottage. Beautifully decorated with everything you need including bacon and eggs, bread, milk, jam, sauces and wood for the fire. Amy was very helpful and quick to respond if we needed anything. She even recommended a great little country pub (The George) down the rd at Bungendore . Great little place for a getaway.
