A great place to get away from it all. Beautiful views, spectacular sunsets, open fires, and plenty of walks to do around the property. Mike was really helpful and generous with providing information. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything a large family needs. We would definitely come back to stay again.

Such a great guest, so willing to fit into an older farm house and sort out what was needed. Followed the instruction book so well. Left house perfect. Even better than when they arrived. Even cleaned out the fire box. Then, because he is such a clever, helpful bloke, he then fixed our drama with the NBN Internet. So grateful we are to them. And then they took some fantastic photos of the farm and sent them to us. So nice. Best guest ever, that we hosted. Come back anytime. Recommend highly.

We had a great stay. Property was as described and shown in photos. The wood fire was great in keeping the place warm during our winter stay. Mike was very informative and responded very quickly to any queries we had. Very quiet and great escape from city life. Highly recommend and will be staying again.

Pictures do not do this places views justice! Fabulous location, place and host..

Great week spent in gorgeous countryside and serenity. Only sounds you hear are the cows, sheep, birds and at night, the crackling of the fire whilst stargazing. The house was spacious and clean and warm with comfy beds and a well appointed kitchen. And Mike the host couldn't be more helpful or friendly. The near town of Crookwell was lovely and the bakery is definitely worth a visit! Its just the perfect, hassle free place to get away from it all.

Disappointing

Lovely rural setting but the house was untidy and unclean in some areas in the kitchen with way too much of the owner's possessions around. The hotwater in the ensuite didn't work. We received advice: no linen. All the doonas and pillows had been stowed away; fortunately, we had our own doona but it was unclear which ones we should have used; two of the pillow were damp. Just one bath towel was supplied and there was no key to lock the door. The farm gate was open when we arrived. We left after night 2 of the 3 night booking.
