This place is home away from home. Away from the city hussle and bussle, away from work and life problems, it is a place

We just love everything about the shack! The warm homely feel, the serenity, the peace, the feeling of being alone with nature. Also the fire pit, we spent every night around it toasty warm :)

Nothing! There was nothing to not like! It’s perfect. We have stayed once before this visit and we will stay again!

Been far enough away from the everyday hustle and still close to any shops if need be.

Quite and peaceful with a dark night , makes for stars to be brighter by the fire.

We loved the Shack! It is such a well thought out little place. It has everything you need and still feels spacious. It was very clean and tidy. It was the perfect space and location for our little family.

Great place for dogs , and also cats as they get to see things they don’t normally get to see

The cows with hairy udders and the occasional oversized mouse

The noisy pump - but I heard worse while trying to get to sleep But don’t worry it was mentioned that a plumber is booked

Perfect getaway to relax and rejuvenate

We loved the whole vibe of the shack, country styles and warm welcoming layout. Loved the land, the cattle (they certainly love pats!), and the little fenced off backyard. We spent hours in the afternoon playing ball in the yard with the kids, whilst the cows came to investigate us over the fence. Then as sun set we got to watch kangaroos hop across in the distance. Beautiful spot with gorgeous native wildlife.

There was nothing we disliked about the property! We actually booked a second night whilst we were at the shack because we weren’t ready to go home the next day after seeing how lovely it was.
