Highlands on Homestead -Tranquil rural property only minutes from town
Spacious comfortable and tasteful modern unit with privacy, a delightful garden and decks facing the sun. The cabin is equipped with microwave, stove top, toaster and kettle to prepare a simple meal. Outdoor seating is available. A detached 2nd cabin with queen bed available (see photo in listing) fees apply (Please let me know if the 2nd room is required) Come say hello to our beautiful Highland cows and alpacas. Enjoy a walk through our extensive gardens or sit and relax next to our running stream. Your well behaved, house trained pup is also welcome to stay. Only 7km from the Blue Penguin Colony, Steampunk HQ and Victorian Precinct. A2O cyclist very welcome.
