This is a wonderful place to stay! The house is lovely and has a lot of character. The garden and surrounding bush provide a beautiful, peaceful setting. The house is well appointed, clean, and comfortable.

The water supply is from the River - Guests must boil drinking water, use distiller, or bring in water for drinking.


Please note that TV reception is below average when it is raining, however now you have the ability to cast direct or go to internet based Live TV.


There is little to no mobile reception at the property. Please feel free to use the landline for emergencies if necessary.

As there is a small stream that runs through the property, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.
