Is a beautiful property. Enjoyed our stay. Loved the fireplace and comfy beds. A heads up water and electricity were being cut off on Monday morning would have been nice. Otherwise great property.

The Home was Wonderful; it had everything and more. We have stayed in many accommodations around Australia and the World, and this would be one of the best.

House was beautiful, we only got to stay for a short break but the family loved the house, the area and the history. The welcome was fantastic.
