This is restful bush retreat with an environmental consciousness. A place to turn off your screens and look out onto lovely pastural views and observe the natural environment outside your door. The units are clean, bright and comfortable with the door open to fresh air. I enjoyed my tea n’ toast outside listening to the morning birdsong. Great coffee / bakery a few mins drive. Bring a good book and your walking shoes!

I am a builder.
I found that the pillows & bed were extremely comfortable.
Everything was so clean.
Bathroom facilities were more than adequate.
The area was so quiet, which was a plus for me.
Highly recommended

It was advertised as a bed and breakfast price, but you still had to pay extra for breakfast. They need to change their advertising

Some minor problems with booking dates and contact details (due to new ownership). Fortunately all resolved without too much drama.

Jayne was very helpful and easy to contact. I arrived after dark, so Jayne left a light on at the driveway, off her country dirt road entry. Quiet, clean and a very comfortable bed. It was charming seeing blue wrens in the garden.

Sehr ruhig gelegen, guter Zustand der Einrichtung. Ich hatte ein paar Probleme mit dem Mobilfunknetz, der Empfang war nur mäßig, kann aber auch an meinem Anbieter gelegen haben.
Ansonsten war alles Super

This is an oasis for hikers on Heysen Trail. Jayne did everything she could to make our stay as good as possible. She even sorted out dinner for us!
Beautiful location. Couldn't recommend highly enough.
