A sweet little cottage on a beautiful property. Cosy but with everything you need. Kirsten was wonderful and responsive. The location is amazing and we saw all sort of wildlife - kangaroos, koalas, black swans, echidnas. Took bikes out for a ride and had a great time. The fresh bread, granola and black peaches were such a lovely touch as well.

It is a very small accomodation just suitable for two adults and maybe at a pinch 2 small children. The host are very helpful and communicative. The gardens and wildlife are wonderful and the access to the lakes and availabilty of kyacks and bikes enriches the experience
