Bella e Pacifica.

From the cows to the well appointed kitchen to the spectacular birdlife and beautiful surrounds this location has it all and more. To sit on the veranda with a coffee at a place like this ticked one off my bucket list.

Beautiful location. Sauna takes a bit of work to get going and approx 1.5hrs to reach temp. Kitchen is semi equipped. No microwave. BYO condiments and spices etc required for any cooking. 3 bulls in nearby pasture, didn't see any other wildlife during our stay. Great for star gazing on a clear night. We enjoyed our 2 nights there.
