    We had a lovely stay. The property had lots of space for our dog and the kids to run and play, and for chilling under the trees with a book. The bedrooms were comfy and nicely decorated. The kitchen was very clean and well equiped, though could do with a few more sleep knives.

    Three of us stayed here for a few nights for an informal writing retreat. It was a spacious and comfortable place to get out of town and focus on work with few distractions. The cafe was an easy walk up the hill when we needed a break. The only downside was that we had been looking forward to a soak in the hot tub, only to discover that it appears to be an error with the listing, as there is no hot tub at the property.

    Self checked in but we felt so warmly welcomed by Anita who spent some time showing us to meet her son's family up the hill, the property and their farm animals, with feeding and fresh eggs to take home. Even some peacock feathers! Our daughter loved being greeted by the turkeys and some peacocks in the morning that came up close to the deck. Such a lovely well equipped, warm, spacious and stylish property. Even our pet bunny felt so at home. Had a minor issue with bore water running out, but Anita promptly addresses it. Thank you so much for having us! We really love your property. On our favourite list!
