We arrived at The Black Cockatoo and were very impressed with the peaceful setting. Perched on a rise with beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Michelle and Daryl greeted us and quickly showed us everything we needed for a great stay. They explained what we needed to know for the off-grid farm. We were a three-generation group, 10 people ranging in age from 1 to 74. The four bedrooms were perfect for our family. The supplied linen was five start hotel quality, beautiful white sheets and doonas and fluffy white towels. The beds were comfortable. The two large, well furnished verandah areas became our preferred living rooms.
The farm environment kept our grandchildren busy, collecting eggs from the chickens each day, feeding the chickens, friendly goats and Shetland ponies were much loved experiences and when two little chicks popped out of their shells there was much excitement. The raised vegetable gardens contained herbs, spinach, onions, tomatoes. We used the pizza oven and bbq.
