Nature Galore! What a treat it was to stay at this gem of a place! Jane and Brad were the most wonderful hosts. We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome and instantly felt relaxed and catered for. The air bnb studio is the perfect combination of modern and cosy with some quirky features nestled throughout. Jane and Brad have created a fabulous space on their beautiful property. Whilst the studio has its own garden and alfresco area, we were able to wonder around the stunning grounds of the property which was a shear joy. There were so many little nooks and cranny’s to be explored in the vast gardens…something I enjoyed doing with an afternoon cuppa in hand!
We loved Lenny and Kevin, the resident alpaca’s and Willow the beautiful chocolate retriever who my kids liked to kidnap for snuggles (we did contemplate how we could smuggle her home and if Jane and Brad would notice). Jane gave my kids some mealworms which the kids loved hand feeding to the fairy wrens. The variety of bird life was amazing and we loved spotting all the different types around the property. My son loved collecting eggs from the girls (chooks) in the mornings and toasting marshmallows in the evenings in the mini campfire provided. We were hoping to enjoy more hiking and mountain biking for the 6 days we were there however we probably chose the wettest week to go. This only makes us want to visit again in the future as this place and the surrounds is a mecca for it. Autumn and Spring would be amazing here. Don’t let that put you off visiting in the winter though. I would have happily stayed tucked up in the air bnb studio listening to the rain falling on the roof with a good book and a glass of red…my kids had other ideas though! There are some lovely wineries/breweries and bakeries in the area and we enjoyed a couple of trips to Bunbury where there is plenty to do on a rainy day for kids. This place is perfectly suited for a couple on their own or with a baby but we managed fine as a family of four (my kids are 10 and 12 years) using the sofa bed in the studio. We are used to camping in tents so this felt like pure luxury for us and was sufficient for what we needed. We arrived as guests and left feeling like family. Highly recommend you visit this place. We will definitely be back.
