Country paradise with cute neighbours

Jan's place is charming, both inside the property and out, and came complete with nearby kangaroos which grazed outside the kitchen and living rooom window both mornings. The house is cosy and comfortable with a log fire and lovely modern bathroom shared between both bedrooms. Jan was a considerate host and we enjoyed meeting her for a quick chat just before checking out. A peaceful, warm and very relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the state.
