We’ve stayed at a lot of Air BNBs but this gets our #1 vote. It exceeded expectations in every way. Vicki and Murray have done an incredible job there in just a few months, achieving what they set out to achieve ie a house that looks like an old country house, but has 21st century comforts. It is incredibly stylish, but also very practical. We loved the choice of three dining tables, five sitting spaces, and 7 bedrooms and bathrooms! It was perfect for two families, but also when we had additional guests. We loved being on the river for swimming and kayaking (3h to the mouth of the Hopkins on an outgoing tide; almost the same down from the Allansford railway line, because of a lot of rocks – try to do it when the river is at its highest). It is also in a wonderful location – so close to the Bay of Islands, Dunkeld, Port Fairy and other wonderful places we knew nothing about before. We stayed in the house for three weeks but never ran out of things to do, but also loved just sitting reading on the veranda, in the Pavilion, or in one of the sitting rooms. The garden is also wonderful so I spent a lot of time picking roses, and dead heading them, and the chooks loves our kitchen scraps and rewarded us with eggs. The dogs were in heaven, exploring the house, garden and river. Vicki was extremely quick to communicate with, and gave us some good tips for dog walks. Book it now!!!
