This is the second time we are staying here, and that should speak for itself. We were happy to meet the friendly big dog Shadow again- he melted our hearts within the one night we stayed last year, so this year we decided to stay 2 nights and enjoy the space with our friend and his family from Perth. Our daughter was just so thrilled! The inside of the home was always cool like an air-conditioned room, even though it was just a stand fan running- a good respite from the sweltering summer heat during the daytime. Gordon and his wife, are very hospitable hosts. Gordon always personally advices us on nearby spots to bring our daughter. We enjoyed the country home, built within such a big landspace- different from our apartment-living life. This time they had alpacas in their farm, and as we walked around the house we saw the chickens and the lemon trees, and other fruiting and flowering plants, the herb garden and just enjoyed the spacious home. The dining area was just nice for our two small families to gather together and the rooms provided sufficient privacy with the en-suite bathroom/toilets. We had a nice time and look forward to returning.
