We love the area and this property was comfortable and homely. There was everything you would need especially the wood fire heater! We will definitely stay again.
Super enjoyed our stay with all the comforts of home. The wood fire, comfortable mattresses, and beautiful outlook with kangaroos made it extra special!

That's wonderful Sharon, glad you enjoyed. Welcome anytime.
This was the perfect little getaway, we wished we had stayed longer! It is in the most beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. Loved being able to cozy up by the fire in evenings and walk out amongst nature in the mornings. Cannot wait to come again.
