Vanessa's place was absolutely stunning. It did not disappoint.
I hardly left the cabin - it was so beautiful and peaceful that I just stayed there and soaked it in - but if you do feel like going out, you can explore in any direction.
The macadamia slice was everything that was promised - I had to keep myself from eating it all in one go and ration it out. Vanessa left a lovely basket of fruit, and some of her fresh (collected that morning) eggs, and I bought some of her delicious steak from her - so tender. I ate it every night for dinner.
The stuff I didn't know - there is minimal lighting once it gets dark - there's a couple of lights around that are run by solar power. I read by torchlight most nights. This is not a downside at all - it was so beautiful sitting by the fire that excess light would have ruined it, but you might want to bring an extra lamp or something if you think you need it. There is phone reception there - it's a bit patchy, but you can still access your phone internet etc. But you can pretend to people that you have no internet at all and turn the phone off - that's what I did! If you need to recharge your phone - you need to do that by your car - because it's solar there's no outlets or anything.
There's a cow alarm clock most mornings - the cows and a couple of horses, and the huge range of birdlife are all the noise there is, and it's delightful.
Charles the bull was an absolute sweetheart - he loves being fed bread and pays you back by hilariously sticking his tongue out asking for more - make sure you bring extra bread and a camera for this!
Vanessa was fantastic - making sure to check in on me with messages, but leaving me alone. The only people I saw were national park workers - maybe one car would go past a day - if that.
I will definitely be back - I only wish I could have stayed much, much longer!
