During winter nestle inside with your cosy wood fire whilst enjoying a glass of local wine, or enjoy a meal on your verandah during the warmer weather. Our property is adjacent to the lovely Diamond State Forest,which is home to the mighty Diamond Tree only 3km down the road or a leisurely 50 minute stroll thru the forest from your cottage.
