We really enjoyed staying at this old homestead built in 1924 but beautifully furnished as a working homestead would have been. It was spotlessly clean and had most items you would need in your own home and was originally lived in by the family. A story of the station was also provided we did some walks around the farm even on the first day when it was raining as the mist was down on the hills creating a beautiful atmosphere. We would definitely like to stay here again.

This was a lovely homestead on a farm. It was so peaceful and quiet and had everything we needed. Sue was great to deal with. Would definitely come back again
