Absolutely idyllic!
Sitting on the covered deck, in the sun watching the lambs playing, was bliss. Very comfortable home, although has some quirks that come with older properties, but very well set up. Would definitely stay again.

This was a wonderful stay with my cousin and son to attend a local wedding. Many guests were jealous of the bathroom space that we had compared to their properties. Clean up was easy, upkeep easy and the book for visitors easy to follow

Relaxing Weekend Away
Had a lovely time with friends at this property. Weather was terrible, so we spent lots of time by the cozy fire, and managed a quick dip in the hot-tub. Loved seeing the lambs in the front paddock - on a sunny warm day the deck would be beautiful. A short drive to town and wineries, but also a lovely spot to read a book, take in the view, and enjoy some time away.

We had a wedding to attend and found this place far enough away to enjoy the country but close enough to go to town square. Lovely roomie house to got large groups. You were almost out of dishwasher powder and toilet paper so did have to buy some more. Will definately stay again.

What a great value spot for a large group!
Enjoyed all aspects of this place, it was wonderful for our family reunion. I wouldn't recommend the sofa bed though, it's seen better days and not sure it should really be listed as a bed. That aside, all else was perfect. Lovely garden and beautiful views from the site too!

Great country stay
Was a great sized property for us and we loved our stay. A little different in real life to the photos but was fine. The flies were really bad though and should of had a spray of some sort there to use. Other than that great location and perfect for our family.
