Peaceful relaxing stay in a top location!

Great value for money stay. The property was very clean, comfortable, quiet, spacious and provided everything we needed for our 2 night stay. It’s the first time staying at an orchard. The gardens were relaxing and inviting with an abundance of interesting birds. Excellent dark skies for those interested in seeing the stars. The host, while giving us plenty of privacy was friendly, interesting to chat to, and very accommodating. We definitely would stay at the property again in the future when we are next in the region.

Beautiful river retreat

Beautiful scenery surrounding the property with the orchid in flower and buzzing with bees. The bird life was flourishing and the bottlebrush outside the back garden was exquisite and full of birds day and night. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the beds were great. The house had a good peaceful vibe and very suitable for family and friends. The oranges were excellent for juicing and generous to allow us to access. Highly recommend staying here.
