Our time as a long weekend get away was well spent. The trip to the dairy was straightforward with the last couple of kilometres on none paved roads. We got a kick out of that as we knew it signalled we were off the beaten track, just what we were looking for. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and would have been more than suitable for a longer stay. Everything we needed was there. Laurence greeted us with home made bread, brownies and fresh farm eggs. All of which were gone by the following morning :). We went for a short walk in the afternoon up the hill before dusk and watched the stars slowly reveal themselves. There was just a sliver of moonlight so the night sky was carpeted in starlight. We woke up early the next day to the sounds of wildlife and the wind blowing through the trees. Fortified by billy tea and bacon and egg rolls (the farm ones), we headed out on a longer walk up through the property and into the national forest. It was a test as it was all uphill until the half way point. Needless to say it was a whole lot easier on the way back. We relished the outdoor shower room when we got back. The evening was spent playing the board games that came with the cabin whilst we ate the Kumquats fresh off the tree with dark chocolate and Glenfiddich whisky. The cabin is more like a small cottage and despite having no air conditioning is very comfortable as it captures the breezes. With all the fresh air and exercise, we slept soundly both nights. We made sure to visit Margaret and Laurence over at their beautiful home just a couple of minutes over the hill from the cabin before we left. They are very gracious hosts with a lot of interesting stories and knowledge of the local area. We would highly recommend Margaret and Laurence's place for a country getaway.
