A lot of the original foundry still remains and there are samples of their craft with many of the old implements adorning the walls. The property is set on 3/4 of an acre and has large gum and native trees that attract birds of all species. The old world charm has been captured in the layout of the suites and the surrounding buildings.

The property was gorgeous with everything you could ever want or need and so many extra little touches. I have changed my view on bed and breakfasts and will definitely consider staying there again. The whole process was simple and Gary was very friendly and welcoming. We loved the history of the buildings and wished we had more time to spend there. Thankyou Gary.
An amazing property with features not used due to short stay. Would definitely stay again. Wonderful luxury space and could not ask for more. Friendly hosts.
Great short stay. All the breakfast provisions we needed, and a lovely space. Will definitely think about trying to book again if wanting to stay in the area in future.
