Welcome to our family and friends of our first listing - Book A Paddock, and to our new gang with The Stables on Knox.
The Stables was a functioning stable, dairy and horse and cart garaging area in the properties heyday many decades ago. The cattle would be walked up a lane, be held in the cobblestone yards you have exclusive use of, be walked into the stalls, where your pizza oven now stands, manually milked, and then turned out to what is now your BBQ area.
Its now your next luxe rural getaway. Leave the tent and van behind for this little slice of the good life. Bring your bestie - even your neighbours and your fur baby for a sit back and relax experience.
The paddocks to the back of the property are yours to walk to take in the peace and the wildlife. They are abundant with kangaroos and their joeys in the spring so we ask you go quietly and slowly so they can move away slowly.
The birdsong is a great way to relax with your book, listening to the sounds of nature.

I came to get away by myself for one night and stayed for two. The lovely hosts Glen and Kim were so welcoming and there was always clear communication. The sites are flat and so spacious right on the creek. What a peaceful place. I love that it’s dog friendly (I wish I’d brought my pup) and I can’t wait to come back with a small group of like minded nature loving friends. I dipped in and out of the creek all day.
