What can I say? Ryan's Rest was perfect in every controllable way, from booking, to check in to check out. I say controllable, because it turns out February is a terrible time for March flies and they like to ruin the peace!!
The location was absolutely beautiful, it was a rocky gravel road to get to and some confidence is required for the roads, but it's well worth it. If you're going to Ryan's for simply a relaxation holiday it is perfect in every way. If you're going to explore Pemberton and surrounds, it does take 20 minutes just to get back on the main roads. (But that is a tiny reason not to go to Ryan's!)
The location is secure and private, but you're only 6km for the hosts. The location offers a perfect 'poop with a view' opportunity from a very economical composting toilet hut. It's got all your simple needs to live in an off-grid caravan thoughtfully thought of! Including board games and outdoor games, plenty mosquito and fly deterrents (both natural and not), local products and plenty relaxing books. It was also a lovely surprise to arrive with cold, fresh local milk already in the fridge alongside coffee and a variety of teas.
Sadly due to the weather, we didn't have the opportunity to use all of the available amenities and activities... But it's okay, we've already booked for July/August!
Jo and her hubby Glen are marvelous hosts and we couldn't have asked for anyone better for our very first Air BnB experience; I am unimaginably grateful to them. They offer a farm tour on their land and it's incredibly informative and fun. It also gives you time to experience a farmer's life, in both the good and bad aspects of today's economy of supermarkets and egotistical spud giants.
