ON THE FARM:
Swim in the salt-water swimming pool - play tennis on the half court - explore the creek - enjoy bush walks up Boori Boori Hill and to the Hidden Paddock or stroll around the main dam to view the native birdlife - feed the farm animals - our donkeys, Phantom and Mason love apples and carrots, the geese will eat any vegetable scraps and bread, and the cows can be fed grass - search for miniature frogs in the cool foliage - investigate the Historic Hut built on the property in 1891 - be creative - paint, draw, take photos - read, watch a dvd, or relax and do nothing at all - on a clear night turn off the lights, go outside and view the stunning vista of the Milky Way.

Love this place. 3rd time here and it just keeps getting better.

We were so excited to come back and it was just as ‘perfect’ as ever. The view, the pool, the tennis competitions, the beautiful fireplace, the peace, no phones, the cows , the geese and our favourites, our friendly donkeys. We only went through 6 bags of carrots this time!! Thank you Pat and Ron.
PS – Oh, and the amazing stars!!

Built a fire – climbed a hill – connected with nature – the silence was precious – the beds were so comfortable – time to STOP and smell and taste and see! A very special place.

Loved staying here in winter. The fire was fantastic.
