"Lovely accommodating host. Provided fresh free range eggs and fruits from the property, and welcomed us to help ourselves to fruits/ veges from the garden and eggs from the chickens.Spa pool wasn't available while we were there, possibly due to the recent adverse weather conditions. Spacious home, possibly mid-reno in places so there's a mix of older and newer features - needed a little fiddling with the older shower to achieve a comfortable water temp.Plenty of space for 13 of us, kids loved...
