This is an absolutely beautiful home, an incredible place to stay in a beautiful location. Stacey, our host was so attentive in messaging.before, and during our stay. The apartment is elegant, cosy and full of lovely touches. The pictures here on booking.con do not do justice to the wonderful decor and comfort of the place. The bed was extremely comfortable, our son slept on a put -up bed in the lounge, also very comfortable. We had everything we needed - fresh coffee, tea, utensils and equipment for breakfast. The bathroom was large, with an elegant free standing bath with shower. We stayed mid May, it was a little chilly out but lovely and warm inside with electric blankets on the bed and additional heaters available. There is a beautiful veranda overlooking the garden filled with fruits and trees and birds. Honestly I just wish we could have stayed longer!

    Beautiful location and relaxing place. Johnny is a great host and the cottage worked well for us with 3 grandchildren. Johnny took us on a tour of the farm in his ute and explained some of his plans. The kids loved helping groom the horses, and feeding them apples. The cats and puppy were a big hit too. Great water pressure and temperature control in the shower. Thanks Johnny

    Location was excellent and easy to find, staff was friendly, all facilities so clean and comfortable. I was especially appreciative of the blackout curtains, and the cleanliness of the entire facility. Beach access was brilliant as was the wonderful playground next door to the property, so fabulous for families with children.
