We wanted a peaceful spot that offered the chance to see a few birds. I didn't realise how ideal Julia's place would be. The property is adjacent to a nature reserve, and equipped with two bird feeders, a bird identification guide and a Scrabble set. All we need to do was pop a little seed in the feeders, make a cuppa and break out the Scrabble. Two days and five games later, we'd seen as many types of birds as we did on a walk in the nearby forests, all from the comfort of the kitchen table. Added to this delightful experience were Julia's very friendly and speedy communications, a sweet hand-built cottage, some sheep in the paddock and a view of the forest, all of which made for a truly wonderful experience. We can't recommend Julia's place enough to those who'd like a simple, quiet getaway.
