Tottaky cosy
The host showed us to our accommodation & told us about everything we needed to know. It was a bit chilly when we arrived, so she started the fure which was so cosy. Everything you need is there for a totally peaceful stay. The beds we're super comfy, the ambience great & a fantastic spa in the main bedroom ensuite. I'd highly recommend this cottage for a total restful stay. 👌

Beautifully peaceful
Heidi was a wonderful host who greeted us on arrival. The accommodation was clean, homely with everything you needed along with supplies provided including eggs from the farm, Heidi’s home made bread, butter and milk. Heidi’s food stall sold other wonderful home made provisions from delicious berry cheese cake to ice cream, soup, bread and fresh berries. The farm animals where lovely to see along with the visiting wallabies and birds. Thank you, Heidi, for a truely beautiful and peaceful stay and we hope to stay again.
