Linley Barrett
Nice quiet location. Host is very welcoming. Was fun cooking on the coal range.
Shannon Martin
Good basic facilities as stated in description. A great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle. Fully fenced around the shack so the dogs could play without having to worry. Would recommend if you have animals and looking for somewhere nice and quiet.
Nik
It was a beautiful place to stay, with a wonderful location and a nice area for our dog to play in and about, we did a wee bit of possum spotting with our daughter too, the place was clean, tidy and felt like a home away from home, we will be coming back for another stay in the future.
