The magnificent old Peppercorn tree shading the front garden and the lush green lawns surrounding the cottage provided the ideal areas for our Cavoodle to chase the ball - and the birds. Then, sitting on the verandah overlooking nearby hills and distant mountains and watching the sunset was the kind of scenery that makes you feel like sharing a glass of wine or three. ##### Don and Carol G. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Helen H. 28 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Glammed up ice chest Lovely setting, excellent kitchen, comfortable bed but freezing. Not suitable for a winter stay. There was a heater up high near the ceiling in the living area so only the ceiling got warm. I was left with large green wet logs to make a fire. There was no kindling, no smaller wood, no split wood, just fire starters which don't work on large wet logs! It was a nicely fitted out tin shed with no wall insulation which may have worked if there had been a space heater on the floor, proper equipment to make a fire and an electric blanket for the bed. ##### Helen H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin D., Hunters Hill, NSW Australia 14 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Farm stay we didn’t know we needed! I booked this trip as a 3 day weekend get away and it did not disappoint. We arrived to the scent of roses all around the garden, freshly cut grass, a dog beds and toys as our warm welcome. We enjoyed the magnificent sunset while drinking Windowrie’s Sakura wine in the lovely private garden then we moved on to use the fire pit underneath a clear night of stars. A delightful surprise were the arrival of eight young heifers to the farm which were greeted by the farm’s seven adult cows - two of which were pregnant. We also enjoyed the trail walk through the paddock among the 50ish adorable sheep. We had all the luxuries with use of large tv with Netflix in the heavy rain and grilling steaks on the bbq. Perfect weekend and Janey was incredibly thoughtful in providing us road updates from the heavy rainfall and offering an extra night’s stay if we couldn’t get home to Sydney. Thank you Janey. We hope to visit again soon. xx ##### Robin D.
