It is in a quiet country setting but only a short drive to many north coast tourist attractions. The hosts were very welcoming and invited us enjoy and explore the stunning gardens, where there are a number of tables and seats to enjoy the view across the dams, watch the birds and listen to the frogs. They were generous with their time if you were interested in hearing about the development of the expansive gardens but also happy to leave you to enjoy your stay uninterrupted. We could easily have stayed longer. ##### Milena K.

The hosts Colin and fay are most accommodating and very easy going. Thanks for the raspberries col we had them the next day with a bit of cream,,,,just perfect. Really much nicer than staying in a hotel we cooked toast and did some basic meals over the six day we were there the kitchen is fully equipped. Thanks Colin and Fay we enjoyed our stay .
