    Lovely spacious well appointed cottage on a quiet farm. The busy suburbs feel far away (even though shops, restaurants , cafes and nurseries are only a short drive away) - so it’s easy to quickly relax. Friendly hosts that respected our privacy.

I am a retired primary school teacher, and my husband a retired policeman. We now work in the travel industry and love to show people our beautiful country. We live on a beef cattle farm which is close to the surrounding beaches. We both love travelling, cycling, crafts and our beautiful country garden which is bursting with many fragrant roses and shrubs. Our life’s motto is 'you’re dead a long time, so make the most of every day'.
