We stayed at Chum Creek for just one night before a balloon flight but wished we could have stayed longer. A beautiful little place with local rooms and oodles of serenity.

It was the perfect place to step away from everything and just sit back and enjoy the moment. I would go back in a heartbeat! The cabin had everything that I needed to have a glass of red and dinner - a roaring fireplace that kept me toasty all night and morning, friendly dog, cool horses, cute bunnies and an amazing kangaroo mob. Bed is very comfortable - I just sank into it that night. Kitchen is just enough, with a dining table, inside and outside. Directions were spot-on accurate, and easy to follow for access to the site. The view is spectacular. Complete privacy and that unenviably feeling of space. No noise, no interruptions. Thanks so much Kerrie for being such as amazing host and for being so welcoming and caring!
