My expectation was fairly high based on other reviews, but what I experienced were hosts who provided a wonderfully interesting and well located place to stay and great resources on a variety of topics including local history, wildflowers, geology, bees and pygmy possums. There was advice on places to visit I might otherwise have dismissed, frogs in the garden, much knowledgeable enthusiasm for the area and at the end of each day of discovery, peaceful sunset evenings on the veranda. For me, it was perfect.
