When considering staying with us please be mindful this is a old country home in a rural area. If you're looking for all the modern comforts and predicability of a commercial hotel this might not be the accommodation for you. If you are after a genuine country experience with rustic charm, space, freedom and privacy we think you'll love our place. Being in a rural setting you may encounter more animals, spiders and bugs than the city, a lizard may give you a fright in the garden or you might hear a possum at night. Being an old house you may encounter the occasional imperfection, we are constantly making improvements but it is a 100 year old house.
