Delightful bush retreat

We loved our stay at Brunkerville. The house was lovely and rustic. The fires were a highlight. Our two sons (5 & 9) loved the bike track. Gary and Jan were accessible and helpful as we needed. It was a great place to unplug and reset after a busy term.

Bush sanctuary.

We loved our stay. Place was beautiful and clean, had all the amenities and plenty to entertain the kids inside and out. Jan and Garry were wonderful hosts and very helpful when needing assistance with our trailer. It was very peaceful and lovely being surrounded by nature, will definitely return in the future. Highly recommend.

An amazing gateway

Jan and Garry are the most hospitable host I ever encountered. I don't won't to talk about the basics as we all always have high expectation but they have gone above and beyond for us to make our stay an incredible experience. The fire outside was ready for us to turn on, they provided plenty of wood for us to sit next to fire for long hours an enjoy our weekend away. They thought about everything you may need in the property (different type of teas, coffee, games, bluetooth speaker, books, DVDs). I had such wonderful experience there and 100% recommend!
