The airy open plan kitchen dining and living room open directly onto the pool and garden creating the perfect space for every generation to have fun and be together. It is intended as a family space and that includes the furry friends who are always welcome at the cottage.

The bi-fold doors and windows that open up to the stunning views and native bush are one of the highlights of the property, welcoming the outdoors in. It is sunny, warm and has a wonderful 'homey' feel that allows guests to feel comfortable and relaxed.

We get such a buzz reading and hearing feedback from guests about all the special memories they have created while staying at The Farmhouse. We also love showing guests a different way of life, one that focuses on slowing down, enjoying nature and quality time spent together.

There is so much to love. The large, beautiful garden and complimenting views, the literature, the Jazz, the special collections throughout the home. Not only do you fall in love with the ocean views, but you are also relaxed by the surrounding sounds of the sea. It's a special place.

It had been my dream for many years to start our own accommodation. I just love the idea of having people stay and make it a memorable place for their family holiday.
