Great place for a big group
The property is excellent for a remote getaway. We were a extended family of 20 and thoroughly enjoyed the stay.
Kate was on site to introduce us to the property. She's a very warm and friendly person.

Great calm location
We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s place. It was a huge house with plenty of spaces. It is a very old house, but with very recently renovated interiors. Situated in the middle of acres of bare lands , hence we enjoyed our nights with no restriction for music. Love this place

Agonics Basecamp & Planning
The property and homestead were fantastic. We all really liked the outdoor firepit and the large formal dining room easily seated 13 of us. We organised a yoga session for our second day and had a great session on the front lawn under blue skies.

A beautiful piece of history being preserved
This is a beautiful 100+ year old historic homestead situated on a working sheep property with 360 degree views of the surrounding green hills. You can see for miles and miles and its magnificent.
The property is nearing completion of a large and very tasteful renovation, and whilst we had a couple of minor hiccups with everything being so new, Kate could not have been more helpful getting them resolved quickly for us.
Both Coleraine and Casterton are a comfortable 20 minute drive away, and Portland and Mt. Gambier about an hour away, so there is lots to explore. We plan to come back again.
Thanks for hosting us Kate.
