A tranquil and peaceful delight ! We enjoyed a tour of the farm and had plenty of walks . Abundant wildlife and a cosy fire at night. The farm host could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable!
This place was perfect to say the least. As soon as we walked in the door my partner and I knew we would stay here again. It was a lovely, quiet cottage that gave us the peace and connection back to nature that we needed.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It would be great to host you again at the farm
I came with my partner and two furrbabies (moodles). We enjoyed our stay and interactions with nature and animals. My pups loved their walks on the property.
Comfortable house surrounded by forest with opportunities to see Koala and Kangaroo, lots of birdlife in surroundings. Secluded. Friendly hosts. Access to fresh eggs and herb garden. Easy to explore surrounding coast from this base.

Excellent hosts with everything we need and more
The cottage was beautiful, amenities was more than what we had expected. It will be great if they had more varieties of farm animals but I understand that it will be alot more work for Julian and Helen.

Quiet, the view from are cottage of the surrounding landscape was soo peaceful and magnificent to wake up to each morning.
We took are dog Holly also who was unsure about the goat and alpacas each morning thinking they're strange looking dogs! But she loved the freedom of the fenced area she had to wander around.
Thanks for the warm friendly welcome and the help finding some next accom when we left your place from Helen.
