When the rapids finish there is a drop which creates a waterfall. It all ends with this scene which is stunning.

The property was perfect for our group of adults and kids. Clean, well-designed and decorated, and wonderful hosts. The theater was a big hit as were the e-bikes to explore the surrounds. Local brewery walking distance was also a perk. Hosts even worked with us to accommodate a last minute late check out. Can’t recommend this place enough. ##### Julie J.

What a beautiful property! Would be an amazing place to hang out for a few days with friends or host a family event. Only complaint was no air con in the upstairs rooms which could have been a problem if rainy- but thankfully it wasn’t. Very innovating heat management system in the house. Amazing surrounding property. ##### Grant and Rose Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DARRELL H. 24 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Place We were on a golf trip house was fantastic Great place to stay . ##### DARRELL H.
