Enjoy the character and superior comfort of our boutique,

Our accommodation is surrounded by over 800 acres of stunning
lush green pastures speckled with colourful native wild flowers,
crystal creeks and native birdlife…overlooked by the majestic
Southern Richmond Hills.
You will experience the rhythm of daily farm life; from feeding the
chickens and meandering farm walks to feeding Lily,
our friendly farmyard pig.Then as night falls listen to the crickets, watch the sunset
