Property

Mill Paddock is set in a beautiful 5 acre garden. The mature trees - liquidambars, maples, oaks, eucalypts, camellias, magnolias etc have been selected from all over the world for their special features. The birds certainly appreciate them and flock to enjoy seeds, nuts, berries and pollen through the year.

The veggie garden supplies organic produce for you to share for your dinner. Just imagine pulling carrots or picking broccoli and half an hour later they are on your plate - delicious!

The Chookmahal (so named by the neighbours) houses 20 odd chooks who spend their days in paradise wandering the large garden. Their free range eggs feature in your country breakfast.

The wallabies are shy but if you are up early you will see them grazing on the lawn or eating our roses (a special favourite of theirs).
