We had a delightful 2 nights in the very comfortable and spacious country house. Beautiful outdoor area to enjoy the bird life and trees. Kitchen has everything you need. We were very happy with this quiet rural retreat.
Had a lovely time. Everything was set up perfectly so there was no stress and nothing to worry about. Place was cleaner than others like this I’ve been too, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Not to mention the gorgeous surroundings.
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.

Fantastic property in a peaceful location. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
We love the area and this property was comfortable and homely. There was everything you would need especially the wood fire heater! We will definitely stay again.
Super enjoyed our stay with all the comforts of home. The wood fire, comfortable mattresses, and beautiful outlook with kangaroos made it extra special!
