Relaxing Country Retreat close to all amenities. Great for the whole family!

Relax back in our large, cosy guesthouse that’s big enough for the whole family, and supplied with all the amenities, including heat/air conditioning, washer/dryer, large tv, and wifi; to name a few. Large decks overlook duck ponds and pastures of grazing cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens and turkeys. The view from the deck over neighbouring farms is second to none. The area is well know for its diverse bird population- from Owls and eagles, to herons and sparrows. A bird-lovers paradise.
Our home is the perfect escape from the city, yet 5 min from the airport, ferries, and Town of Sidney - a charming seaside town with everything from breweries, fine restaurants, museums, and cinemas, to great shopping!
We are a 10 min walk to the Pat Bay beach. We have amazing hiking trails.
Perhaps one of the most breath taking aspects of our area is the The Gulf Islands National Park. You can access some of these Islands by ferry, or we can arrange a private boat charter upon request.

This accomodation is very private located in a separate building. It is very comfortable and many extras are provided. It has a complete kitchen with nearly everything needed for an extended stay. It is delightful in its farm setting, and close to Sydney as well as Victoria. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Wonderful!
Loved the stay. Tess thought of everything. The space is light and airy, big and comfortable. The vintage turkeys amusing with their gobbles. The willow tree in the inlet was so sweet and we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the metal roof.

Great location for our needs.
It was fun staying on a working farm and the animals were just great and no problem whatsoever. We really made good use of both the clothes washer and dishwasher, very handy.
