Not so private, not so peaceful
-host was overly involved in our coming and goings -told us we were being sneaky when we were spending time together using the bath on our first night because he couldn't see us! -made aware of pets at time of booking and didn't request additional fee until day 2 (dogs had done nothing wrong) -host coming around the house at 7am when we were still in bed (Stayz says it should be contactless) -said the dogs were fine to our faces (after waking us up) -went home and requested we call him, he continued to swear on the phone at my girlfriend because there was a misunderstanding that we had 2 dogs not 1. My girlfriend said she'd go get me he started abusing her and continued swearing stating it's his place he can do what he wants -we asked for a refund for the remaining 2 nights and we’d leave(we already booked on really short notice so it would have been vacant anyway and it was only 8am), he refused. -my dogs had to live on a cage on the back of my ute because he kept sending his dog onto our verandah where my dogs were tied up EVERY morning, starting at 7am knowing that they fight and mine were restrained. His dog on the verandah would wake us up every morning at 7am -for the price, bed and mattress is very cheap -black mould in the main bed room -stayz says Rod is the host but we only dealt with someone called Phil. -we were too nervous to use the outdoor bath after we met the hosts on day 2 -couldnt I noticed this listing wasn’t available on other online booking portals and there is probably a reason for it. Side note: I have used other online booking portals a lot with my dogs and have great reviews from my hosts

Amazingggg
10/10 for this stay. The property was so well kept and absolutely stunning. Coming from the city, you can just breathe out here. The place itself was beautifully kept and had so many little touches that made it so warm. The owners are friendly, as are the dogs and chickens :) We throughly enjoyed the fireplace and stars at night, the outdoor bath amongst nature. We didn’t want to leave and hope to come back again.

About the host

Hosted by Rod Bruem

Host profile image
Owners Phill and Rod enjoy sharing their farm with guests. Originally from Sydney, the couple moved to Lismore in 2014 and immediately began conservation works on the property which had been in Rod's family for most of the previous century. Five years on they are on target to have planted 20,000 trees and restoring 1km of degraded river frontage. This is combined with crop farming including native tea tree (melaleuca) which is harvested for oil.
