    Good breakfast provisions. Loved the peaceful farm outlook, a great place to slow down and relax. Gina was really helpful and informative, and Sofie (the dog) was a great companion on our walks around the property. We stayed in the Wattle Suite,...

    You can see a platypus in the wild if you are quiet and patient in the dams. There is plenty of space to walk and peaceful.
