We booked a last minute stay for four days during the October school holidays (three children). The stay at Marian Ponds exceeded our expectations! We were fortunate with beautiful spring weather, which saw the spring garden come to life and friendly farm animals to meet. Our kids absolutely loved it. Marita and Ian were so welcoming and relaxed in showing us around the property, showing my kids the chickens and feeding the sheep. They also recommended the Golden Valley Park which was beautiful. The place suited our needs, provided sufficient space and was very clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better holiday and we’d love to return again next year.
