The accommodation was amazing, well presented and in a lovely environment. Our only suggestion would be letting guests know how close other residents houses are. Especially the sons being in direct sight. Another suggestion would be a sign on the letter box.

The property is in a beautiful woodland, it’s a rustic but very well equipped barn with an amazing open plan living space, log burner and cosy sofas - and great views of the surround woods. The kitchen is incredibly well equipped, the beds are super comfortable, and the over all vibe is wonderful. Our host was easily reachable and even dropped us off a load of fire wood so we could have a fire in the garden. We had kids in our group and they had an absolute blast playing in the garden and meeting Honey. We will be back to stay for sure, thank you so much! The only note I have is for those with a saloon or hatchback vehicle- the driveway might be a challenge!

Awesome secluded bush retreat. Peaceful in lush surroundings. Playing cards on the balcony was such a lovely experience with the birds singing nicely. Excellent amenities provided in kitchen (the flowers and chocolate was a lovely added touch). Jan and Garry are lovely hosts. The kangaroos were awesome to see so close as well.
