What makes this property unique
The cottage is typical of farm cottages. It is very comfortable and cosy set in the middle of the farm. It is separate from the main homestead so offers privacy and is quiet.

The sitting room has 2 sofas and 2 single arm chairs.
There is a digital TV with video. A CD, radio & blue tooth music system and bookcase with plenty of books and magazines to read, as well as games.
The north facing verandah overlooks the paddocks towards the river and is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the view or setting sun with a gl;ass of wine.
Visitors are welcome to wander around. Especially along the river where they can enjoy the tranquil peace, going for a swim or do some fishing.
