We can’t praise James enough as a host. He greeted us on arrival with a detailed rundown on the property and the area, without being intrusive. When we asked about cane farming he gave us a wealth of background on the industry, as you’d expect from a fourth generation cane farmer! He also cut a cane for our daughter to munch on … probably not something he wants to do every day, but it’s something she’ll always remember.
The accommodation itself was amazing: terrific views, well appointed, and with an array of delicious options for breakfast. My only hesitation is the lack of curtains … when the sun rises at 5.30, it’d be easier to sleep through until 7.00 or so if the rooms were darkened.
On departure, James gave us some great suggestions about activities available on our route that day.
If we were able to, we’d have stayed longer … and if I ever marshal the inspiration to write the great Australian novel, this is exactly where I want to do it!
