In a quiet location with local wildlife in the grounds, the kids loved feeding the wallabies while we amazed at the number of stars we could see at night. Easy walk up the road to the pub for dinner or local shops.

Nice experience

We stayed 3 nights. The owners were away when we arrived, but Jenny was there and made sure we were well looked after. Our room was nice and clean, as was the pool and surrounds. The area is very quiet and sitting outside late afternoon with a cold beer and having the wallaby's and lorikeet's coming sitting next to you is a nice experience.
