10 stars to the host and the beautiful grounds offered. Highly recommend to all. Views of the farm were spectacular particularly in the morning where the site is allocated as where you stay you can see the sun rise above the valley. Thanks heaps, the Wednesday Camper!

10/10! We have been on the road for a few weeks now and this has been our favourite place to stay. Your own private sanctuary with beautiful gardens and wildlife. Amanda showed us around when we arrived and was a great host. Outdoor shower was amazing and spotless bathroom. The sheltered kitchen area was super cute with everything we needed. Couldn’t recommend enough!
