Lovely weekend away

It was a lovely weekend away with my partner, truly a magical spot and highly recommended for anyone who loves the chill and relaxed atmosphere and scenery of an old farmstead and cottage, as well as the horses, ducks and chickens on the property as well.

Host was amazing and very helpful. The cottage was well appointed with little extras. We were visited by a couple of the local spiders which are harmless but look scary. The surroundings are beautiful. Near to most amenities. A prettty cottage and lovely place to stay.

Absolutely delightful staying here. Most comfortable accommodation we've had in a long time. Heater on and house warm when we arrived. Loved having the wood fire going with the farm views out the windows. Cannot fault the owners who were polite, friendly and helpful. Thank you for having us on your farm!

Farm stay perfect for exploring the Food Trail

Hosts Stacey and Michael have created a perfect place to stay within minutes of the Food Trail. We stayed at Long John’s Cottage which was as described with everything we needed for a cosy and peaceful place to stay. Stacey kindly showed us around the property, meeting their horses and the resident duck. There is a beautiful outlook from their other residences which you can stay in, including a dam and scenic mountain views. Be sure to purchase some of the delicious farm honey. Highly recommend!
