The property gave everything it promised and more. Owners were more than helpful and friendly. Birds and other wildlife, kangaroos echidnas etc, were abundant adding to the very pleasant natural surroundings.

Love staying here with my husband and two dogs. The surrounding nature was beautiful and revitalising. The cottage was warm, cosy and had everything we needed.
