What an outstanding experience and place to stay - fantastic old farmhouse on a full-on working farm! The house is historic but in great conditon, with everything you need for a great stay. The rural environment is awesome - sheep, cows, working farm dogs (not at the house itself), a stream and just open spaces. The kitchen has everything we needed and loved the large dining table. Bedrooms were very comfortable - 2 x double rooms and 1x twin. We played a few good games of Risk too! Worth checking out Mt Lees Reserve too - much larger than it looks and plenty to enjoy.We were there 8 nights. This place is awesome and highly recommend it. Great communication too.

Lovely getaway

A lovely, quaint old property that was once a farm cookhouse. Quiet and secluded setting but within easy driving distance of Feilding, Marton and Bulls. A perfect four-day break and we'd be keen to stay again.

Amazing place to get ready for a wedding

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Myself and my bridesmaids stayed here the night before my wedding and got ready here the morning of. Plenty of space for us all (huge kitchen too), and lots of room for the make up artist and hair dresser to spread out. Communication with the host was lovely, quick and detailed responses. Would 1000% reccomend.
