Our well appointed 3 bedroomed cottage sits on the side of a hill over looking a long peacefull valley.

You will find a huge amount of extras (like locally hand made soaps) along with all the usual toiletries, tea and coffe facilites etc.

The fridge and pantry are overstocked with breakfast goods, supper/snacks. Freshly made afternoon tea awaits your arrival.

All linens, towels and bathrobes are supplied.
Other facilities include hair dryer, iron and iron board, auto washing machine, BBQ and lovely setting to eat outdoors.
Then there are the chocolates, Port and cheese board for the evening.

If you feel lazy there are videos to watch, jigsaw puzzles, books and several different packs of cards.

On the walls we have hung crochet work and needle craft done by family members, starting at about 1904 thru to 1940's. Some of it you even get to use!

We achieved South Aust Tourist Comm. accrediation at about the same time we opened our doors early in March 2005.

P.S Most mornings and evenings you will see grey kangaroos grazing 300m from the house enjoying the grazing on our farm.

Come and enjoy them while you are having your coffee/breakfast on the sun filled front verandah.
