It’s very unusual in its collection of historic items but the beds were very comfy and it was surprisingly well appointed. We enjoyed the remoteness and getting away from it all for a few days. ##### Jen M.

It was beautifully decorated. We love it’s old school charm. Dianne was an amazing host and nothing was too much to ask. A beautiful tranquil setting to unwind.

Australian history all around. Anyone looking for a quiet relaxed getaway THIS is definitely the place. 2 double bedrooms upstairs . Cosy lounge downstairs. Fridge tv bbq outside all you need was there. Was very clean and cosy. Big pool just a few steps away was such a bonus as it was a hot weekend. Our hosts Diane and Kevin such lovely people. They also have another building on the property with 16 rooms perfect for a family reunion or getaway. Wineries nearby. Will definitely return. ##### Grace P.
