Peaceful respite
Had a great time. A few things to note: 1) Didn't have 4WD but walk to the property was easy 2) Good swimming spot on site :-) 3) Great privacy - other than check in you might not see anybody for the length of your stay 4) Nice flat gardens to walk through around the property, like a mini maze and good wildlife. Owners have done an amazing job. 5) Had enough mobile coverage to stay in touch with our kids. Couldn't get mobile data but that proven to be a great thing. 6) Comfy bed and exceptionally clean! 7) Big deck, great views. I'd definitely recommend to couples who want to reconnect.

A piece of Paradise
What an amazing property this is. Tucked away in the bush. A beautiful house with the most spectacular views. The grounds are wonderful. We loved the outdoor bath, the firepit was a lovely evening treat. Such a nice relaxing time. We will be back for sure. Thank you for sharing your property.
