Idyllic retreat in the country

Started with excellent communication prior to arrival. John and Sarah were wonderful hosts. The setting/location is beautiful. This quaint cottage has been tastefully modernised and provided everything we needed for our long weekend stay. Thoroughly recommend this property and the hosts.

Great stay in Stable Cottage

Perfectly snug, warm cottage with great facilities. We loved our stay and will be back to take John up on his offer of a walk around the farm. Awesome river views and farmland all around. Peaceful. Everything we needed was on hand.

Beautiful beyond description

We feel like we went back in time, to somewhere in the 1931, the atmosphere of the place tells so much History, and we feel like we were part of that history. My little family traveled a lot, but this one will be unforgettable for a very long time! We can never had enough of waking up to that mountain view. So beautiful! 💯%❤️ from the little 🇹🇴family.

About the host

Hosted by John Davey

Father was born here; I grew up on the neighbouring farm. I took over managing the farm in 1969 before selling in 1983. My wife Sarah & I bought the property back in 2005.

Why they chose this property

I wanted to return to the river, the trees and the house that I built in 1976.

What makes this property unique

My brothers, sisters & I grew up in these hills, building huts, making dams in the creeks and cutting tracks along the banks. We loved the river and the trees.

Wife Sarah and I enjoy the garden, watching the trees change, and the birds that make their home here.
