The federal exceeded our expectations. That might have something to do with someone writing a review stating it seemed like a hoarder lived there, which simply isn’t true. It’s eclectic styling (which we loved, by the way) but not bombarding of the environment at all, which I was made to believe. It feels like you’re stepping into a home, which is great. I cannot reiterate how stunning this property is. 10 acres of cultivated land that the owners have taken the last 40 years to restore with lots of tree species and wildlife. My sister, who is a permaculture designer, was in heaven. Across the creek there is untouched forest, which is such a rarity. We saw kangaroos on the property, an echidna up the road, hares and even a platypus lazing about in the creek at dusk. A few huntsmen’s about, but, hey, this is Oz and they are completely harmless/scared of people. The little federal shop and cafe has most things you need, including killer coffee. Go to federal!
