The cottage has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. We stayed for 6 days and would have loved to stay longer. The garden is stunning with vews down to the Angas River, lots of bird life and many delightful spots to sit and enjoy the serenity of the area. Their local knowledge is very helpful. We were supplied with local bread, wine and fresh eggs from the Diva Chooks at the bottom of the garden. Jake the staffie gave us his approval!
