About the host
Hosted by FayM9795
We are semi retired farming folk. Our children have left home but keep coming back. We are active both on our downsized farm and well as socially away from the farm. Still very busy and enjoying what we do.
Why they chose this property
A touch of history - The main house (Villa), was built in 1918 replacing the original built in 1870s as a new home for a recently married early settler couple. The 'Villa Cottage' was built not long after the first house, for the new brides mother. The dwellings have 'character'. The surrounding house grounds have been well laid out and modified by different owners throughout the years, providing a wonderful restful feel, with good producing fruit trees and gardens, who could ask for more. - We are fortunate to be able to live in such a beautiful spot.
What makes this property unique
Welcoming, comfortable, no frills and beautiful.
