I really needed a down to basics weekend and Margaret and Laurence's place was just the tonic that I needed. No mobile reception. No wifi. No TV. Heaven!
I didn't quite know what kind of accommodation to expect from a converted dairy and I was very pleasantly surprised. The old iron bed was comfy and in the heat of late summer I left the windows open at night. I was surprised that there were no mosquitoes to contend with! The kitchen is compact and serviceable and there is just about any kitchen implement that one would need to cook up a storm. The lounge/dining room is spacious and had that 'holiday house' kind of feel. The deck was a great place to lounge and enjoy the view of the hills across the valley at any time of day ore evening. I really enjoyed taking a couple of walks on the working property and I even managed a view of Blue Knob on the western side of the caldera.
My dog Loki was so happy that he didn't want to get in the car to go home! I'll gladly book again for the next time I need a little get away from the coast.
