Shelter belt is a very beautiful location and hidden away from the rest of the world.
However, we did not have the most pleasant stay and there are a couple of details future travellers should be aware of.
- The heating and warm bath water relies on the fireplace. When we arrived all the firewood was wet so we were unable to sustain the fireplace. The property is also poorly insulated so definitely bring thermals if you're staying in winter as the property gets very cold (especially if you can't light the fire!)
- The water is creek water and the filtered water is incredibly slow (will take several minutes to fill a glass). We regretted not bringing drinking water with us
- The place was a bit dirty; the curtains had mould on them and there were cobwebs in the kitchen. The dishes and cutlery weren't particularly clean either.
- The listing charges a cleaning fee for the property but if you don't clean your dishes you will be charged an additional cleaning fee.
