We loved Mary’s place. We had access to all of the essentials in the home and there were plenty of options to stay warm during the cold nights. The property does need some TLC but for the price paid, it is all you need.
My active children loved the freedom to explore the property, walk to the dry river and talk/feed the animals (DIY). I don’t think it would be suited for young children.
It was so peaceful for our family of four, just perfect to sit around, take in the surrounds and enjoy a wine.
