Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We stayed in a room in the old homestead which was a surprise as it didn’t match the photo on the website.
The room was shabby but worse it was dirty.
The bed was comfortable and the continental breakfast adequate. It certainly was not value for money and I could not recommend it to anybody else.
Entry was through a spring loaded gate with loose chicken wire which snagged on clothing.
It was a very unsatisfactory experience
Breakfast was a convenient, serve ourselves affair. Only downside was access to the gate required U-Turns at designated turn areas, due to the main road median barriers (obviously nothing the owners can change, but information on the issue before arrival would be useful)
the animals and the outlook plus very easy to arrive and leave .
good instructions on how to get there
quick reply to questions asked
also like wotif rather than abb

Waking up to misty mountains in the distance was a way to start to the day. The animal friends in the yard was a bonus. It’s a cute, quiet place which allows you to relax and enjoy the world around you.
The outlook from our room was sheets on the washing line.
The property manager attacked the alpacas with a broom. He saw me watching but carried on.
Lots of flies. They were immune to the fly spray.
Very dirty under the microwave and behind the TV.
No cloths or bath mat provided
Amazing stay! The accommodations were clean and comfortable. There isn’t reception but check in was clear and easy. We had some nice bites ready for our breakfast. If you like animals, there are lots to see around the property. The host was helpful and friendly. We had a great stay and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!
This was a short, two night, stay. Check in was very simple, the room was exactly as described. We loved the homely atmosphere with a beautiful view over farmland. There was everything we needed for an enjoyable stay and most importantly, a very comfortable bed.
The apartment was located on a farm. We woke up to alpaca outside our room and the view was lovely. The room was comfortable and the host was gracious. Our only issue was the lack of reliable wifi. It was hit and miss.
I was surprised by the amount of farm animals at the property but they were all lovely to interact with. Theres an alpaca there who will give you a kiss but be careful he will also nibble you if you allow it.

Disliked: Staff & service
In general on first appearances the property and location seemed fine - a farm stay was what i expected.
As i initially parked a man came out and in broken English pointed to a sign on left door of the property which had my name written on a strip of lined paper. You have to move your car and park in front of door. After i had manouvered the car he showed me into the room and where he had left the key.
The furnishings were nice, no kitchenette and the bathroom was that and storage ironing board. In the main room there was a sideboard unit with cereals and coffee/tea and sugar all in containers. In the fridge there was milk, and in sealed boxes 2 yogurts and 4 slices of bread. In another there was butter and conserves.
The expedia advertising had mentioned continental breakfast to be served with a selection of pastries.
So i was expecting a breakfast that was hosted, not a make it yourself with what we provide!
I then noticed inside the jar of granola INSECTS roaming around. Non of the containers had been wiped or cleaned or it seemed not to have been checked for freshness of cereals.
The bathroom sink was not clean. An ingrained circle around the plug hole showed lack of care.
There was long dark hairs all over one soft chair.
The front door blind was very stiff and was fraying and needed attention.
The alpacas were lovely neighbours, living next to the property in the owners garden. I enjoyed watching them.The outside space was uninviting. No contact with hosts!

Perfect for requirement
Lovely place, maybe a bit dated but we liked it. Alpacas in the garden a bonus.
