Was comfortable and yet slightly felt as though we weren’t week one.. it was a tad unsettling feelin

It was great as most? Few inconsistencies and a few restrictions that didn’t make sure much sense but overall I try to be ab easy going person and as such did the end the manly my stay. Was shill quite wonderful I’ll give them that for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Jenny Cahir

I am married to Jenny and we have 3 grown up children.
Jenny is the gardener and you will enjoy the fruits of her hard labour when you come to stay with us.
I enjoy cycling (road riding and Mountain biking), golf and tennis and can highly recommend these sporting pursuits whilst staying in Buninyong.

Why they chose this property

The Cottage is very private and is close enough to the Buninyong Village to allow you to walk to all the local amenities.
Your interactions with Jenny and I can be as little or as much as you would like.
