The photos and listing description were spot on. We were welcomed by Ken and then Marilyn when she got home from work. As soon as we turned off the highway heading for their place, we could feel the serenity of the and...it's a spectacular place. And actually arriving was even better!!! The room was spotless with very pleasant tasteful decor.
I had my enthusiastic 5 year old daughter with me and Ken was so patient with her, giving her the tour of the farm, to meet all the animals and help where she could in bringing them home for the night. And in the morning, from just after 6, she was up with bells on to do the rounds again with Ken and to help milk the beautiful cows. We let ducks (geese?) out...collected a hatching chicken egg....you name it we did it! We even found a gorgeous green tree frog in the shower drain, peeking it's little head out through the crack. A sure sign of a healthy environment.
My daughter also enjoyed the somewhat chilly swimming pool and Ken didn't seem to mind her squeals etc. I personally did feel a bit self conscious about having a child her age in what feels like a really "adult" style house...her asking a gazillion questions of Mal when she returned from work...and just being a kid in a childless home...but I think that was my stuff and maybe I should have just trusted that if children weren't welcome they'd have not permitted them! LOL
I am sure this is going to become one of our favourite stop overs on our trips north to Byron. It was such a perfect last night on our mamma-daughter trip and seriously, Treya loved every minute of it. Me too!! Thanks Ken and Mal. Your property is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing it with us. Love and blessings, Gypsy and Treya and the bump! x :)
