    Nothing really, but if you’re looking for 5 star hotel surrounds and service, this isn’t for you. This place is ecologically minded and at one with the elements and nature. One must be mindful of this when staying there. The dirt road to get there is well maintained but be cautious if it has been raining, can be slippery.

    Picturesque and otherworldly, a beautiful escape from the daily city grind. I loved the Studio where our family stayed. So much room and incredibly unique. Very clean and everything you need is there.

    Nothing negative at all. Only if you compare to a modern hotel, the beds are not as comfy, or water may turn cold in the shower, but still very homey and warm atmosphere. Also obviousely it was a little out of tow, but for us it worth it.

    For a family of 3, it was a great experience. Beautiful place just to walk around garden with all the pottery creations. The restaurant meals were great and everyone was most welcoming and friendly, even the little poodle resident!

    The bathroom sink drain didn’t work well. There is no microwave provided. The kitchen cabinet doors do not function well.

    Beautiful surrounding scenery, authentic farm house, beautiful pottery, interesting pottery workshop, great bush cafe with hearty meals — the woodfire pizzas and galeto are to die for, friendly and helpful staff

    The road leading up to the property was very bumpy and was a 10K drive with self-imposed 20K speed limit to avoid damaging the suspension on the car. That said, it definitely wouldn't stop us visiting again as it was worth the bumpy ride.

    We loved this place. It was rustic and very beautiful. Staff were really friendly and welcoming. The cottage was full of original pottery and crockery. Kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of lovely places to explore outside. Lots of farm animals to make friends with for Kids and to help feed the animals. Great swimming area and pool. Lovely cafe with organic foods on the menu. The back story (Maria and how she started the place) was fascinating and really helped to get a sense of the place and what they were trying to achieve.

    Not the easiest place to find, highly advise you travel there during daylight hours. There is about 10km of dirt road to get there, so if you are renting a flash new city car, you might want to either change it for a 4x4 or alternatively pay the extra insurance covering damage because you might get small stone chip damage on the paint from the drive. I was renting a brand new city car ( CX8) and it didn't happen to me, but i was very nervous driving on that dirt road.

    Location was outstanding, as was the food. Very friendly staff and guests. Stunning location and environment. The decor and vibe of the place is very nice. I was only here for one night, but I definitely want to return and spend more time here. One night is not enough to really appreciate all that is on offer here.

    Goats on the walking trail and the landing of the Farmhouse needs maintenance.

    The whole experience, especially the remoteness of the property, the pottery was cool, great pool, great walking trails, and an awesome toilet in the Farmhouse.

    3 nights weren't long enough to soak all the good vibes on the farm. Highly recommended for anyone passing by.

    A glimpse into a life in Australian bush. Unique, beautiful place run by a few families with very big hearts. Pottery workshop is a must experience. Meals at the cafe area were very delicious, made with organic ingredients from the garden. There is nothing that can't be done for farm guests.

    Location is fantastic, there are bush walking trails that are part of the land. I drove by RAV4 in dry conditions and it was great, don't think you can get to some of the trails in a smaller car. Fantastic staff, beautiful community, I wasn't into pottery prior but have a deep love and appreciation for it now. All round this is treasure and I am glad I was able to experience it. We included in this trip - stargazing, pottery and a hike to the bungles.
