Actually we saw about 40 kangaroos in one evening. Hosts were very friendly; they had arranged a huge breakfast (that you cooked) with eggs and homemade jam! Recommend if you want to relax and enjoy peaceful countryside. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities You are treated to private quarters in their own home so you won't feel like you are staying in accomodation meant for travellers. Especially love the shower and their bed. They put your comfort foremost and it's these small details that makes all the difference. If you are one of those who enjoy being away from traffic noise and slowing down life's pace for awhile while on the road, this place is for you. I never really know what to expect when I book an accomodation but with this one, you shouldn't worry. The pictures does the place no justice. We stayed there for 3 nights and can easily do more. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TP, Melbourne 4 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This unique retreat is in a stunning, peaceful location and the apartment sized lakeside suite has the most incredible views.

Debbie & Graham have built a beautiful place on the ridge at Sarsfield you can see the love and enormous effort they have put into producing this amazing living area, one to be passed down the generations.
