I stayed in the 'Stables' and it was superb. Beautifully appointed with a rustic feel while having all the modern amenities. Not to mention the relaxing outdoor, claw foot baths. Ron and Wendy were friendly and very helpful with queries. Service impeccable. Will return!

Excellent Property, Owners Top Class. The only comment that I can make is that one of the chairs on the deck was wearing a bit thin in cabin 6. The property was a great experience and should I be passing this way next year I will be sure to re-book. Kind Regards, Ron Burchell

Positioned just across the road from the Qantas Founders Museum, a little out of town. Nicely set out cabins on the property. Helpful staff. Wifi was very sporadic. Other little things like a dishrack in the room and coffee table near sofa would make it better.

Ron the manager was excellent. We extended our stay and upgraded to the stables….he organised his team to move all our stuff into the new room and it was ready by 1030. The artesian outdoor bath tubs were a fantastic surprise. Perfectly located….been travelling for 2 weeks and this was best place we stayed.
