Beautiful farmhouse

It was a beautiful large old farmhouse situated in the most peaceful environment,the views were amazing which could be enjoyed on a deck around the house.marg was very easy and quick to communicate with and provided us with everything we needed,we appreciated the bacon and eggs and extras.the farm house was just a short drive to the cascades and Turpin falls.if your looking for somewhere to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle and wanted to relax surrounded by farm life and quiet this is definitely worth the stay. would definitely be suitable for families aswell.also very nice garden setting with plenty of space to explore.

Great Overnight Stay

The house was very private and in the middle of some beautiful country side. The breakfast basket provided was a really convenient perk and we all had eggs and bacon on the veranda the next morning. The house is a good size with a large communal area and plenary of kitchen space to accommodate everyone. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

Secluded Get Away Location

Perfect location to leave the city behind and spend time with good friends having a natter on the deck overlooking the farm. Secluded but with the reassurance of the owners nearby if anything was needed. Perfect for those with dogs, plenty of room to run around, and a fence around the house site.

Really nice little farmhouse with a really homy flair. The air is fresh and it smells like flowers because of the cherry blossoms. We really both enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you need to live in there. And the peace and quiet atmosphere makes it a perfect escape.

Great Farm stay

We loved staying here! The fire had been lit, Marg was flexible and easy going, the house was a classic farm house, comfortable, clean, cute with everything we needed. There were games for the kids and cue kangaroos. Perfect!

Farmhouse fun

Quirky little farmhouse with welcoming hosts, big wooden fireplace and generous breakfast provisions. Not your standard hotel by any means - and our little dog was welcome too. Spotlessly clean and well stocked with board games and puzzles for a family stay.

Stunning,cosy,sweet

Stayed here with my friends and our 3 dogs in February, place was absolutely amazing, just spectacular views, we had the cows come up to the fence line in the morning which was lovely. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay that extra special, they really thought of everything. and I just loved reading about all the history of the farm that they kindly left on the coffee table. I would definitely stay again and hopefully longer next time. A+++ cosy and sweet

Comfy quiet with a few little surprises nearby

Nice comfortable quiet house in a rural setting. Hosts provided all food for breakfast and left us to quiet enjoyment which was great. Took an opportunity to walk around the property which was enjoyable with a bit of local wildlife, mostly bird life. Nearby Turpin Falls and The Cascades were beautiful little gems and a complete surprise. It is a little isolated (no wifi) but that is its attraction.
