We thoroughly loved our stay. The wood fire was going when we arrived which was very welcoming. There were many things to see and do in the area and we will definitely be back. Communication with Janelle was fast and easy. I would highly recommend this accomodation to family and friends. Thank you for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Fabulous property very relaxing and comfortable, the beds were very comfortable. The garden was spectacular. amenities were excellent.Just a few things it’s a bit unreasonable to ask people not to move the furniture in the lounge room as you can’t see the television well without. Perhaps it would be a good idea to warn perspective renters that the shower is within a spa bath. This is not a suitable and safe situation for older people. One of us could not get into the spa to have a shower. Other than this, we had a marvellous time. Final note the dining room chairs need attending to

Thank you Ronnie & Gerrie for your review - Beds are a tricky one. When purchased we selected ones that 'suited most' apologies you didn't find them comfortable. Earlier check in can be arranged, but will incur a fee. Kind regards Janelle
