Excellent communication with hosts. Great location and very clean. The hosts supplied some lovely surprises — granola, bubbly, coffee, nut milk. The only complaint is that Expedia was a bit slow on getting the access code (never received) and wifi info before check in time, otherwise, five stars.

Beautiful property!! absolutely stunning and enjoying going bush bashing around the property and exploring! The only downside to the property is i think the condition of the driveway ought to be mentioned to people in advance, as our little hatchback had a lot of trouble getting through and we definitely scraped the car a few times, i think a medium to large car would be ok. the finishing touches were beautiful, the position of the deck for the view, all of it was beautiful! Thanks for letting us stay.
