Tim and Kathleen were just the epitome of the perfect hosts.
My boyfriend and I arrived on their property at 2pm.
Kathleen was at work at the time, but Tim was ready to welcome us into their homestay. Homemade cookies and treats were waiting for us in our warm room. He showed us around their farm and its surroundings and told us about the new baby lambs that were just born the day before, and we met the horses, birds and chickens too. When Kath returned, she was such a delight. So warm and welcoming, she chatted with us about their horses (which we got to feed – they're super cute), and their fruit trees.. and later Tim let us take his ATV out for a ride through the bush forest and we got to see the sunset and caught up with some Kangaroos and rode beside them! IT WAS AMAZING.
It was a really clear night too, and we got to photograph the stars and the milky way. Just such a treat, as we come from the city, so we hardly get to see the sky like that. Tim came outside to chat with us, and lent us his tripod and binoculars too.
When we left the next day, we had left 2 jackets and our iphone in the room, (Didnt double check the room) but we had already driven 2 hours away from their home. Kathleen told us not to worry, and that her neighbour was going into town the next day, so she kindly asked her to bring our things with her.
It was just so sweet of Kath and her neighbour Judy to go through the trouble. Kath even threw in more of her homemade cookies for us along with our things.
I would DEFINITELY go back to visit them! They are just the sweetest couple!
