This was the most awesome cross of camping and glamming! The beds were incredibly comfortable and the area clean and even though it was January the temperature in the boat was perfect. The kids also loved the idea that they were sleeping on a boat without having to wear a life jacket! My youngest told us all about the waves she felt when sleeping and it inspired a story by my eldest about pirates!
From the relaxing hammock to the quaint bath under the private trees there was a space for everyone’s needs.
We loved the hay shed with the open fire but practical kitchen and the comfort of relaxing chairs in what I called the sun room! Great places to sip a nice glass of vino and feast on delicious cheese (especially once the kids were in bed!!). We started with Suzy’s farm tour where the kids got to pick their own veggies and collect eggs, that left us wanting more so we did the animal tracking and found out more about Jon and Suzy’s amazing life! We decided to do the campfire story where Jon had everyone enthralled about his stories where he was on the menu (different expeditions where polar bears and dingos got too close!).
We wanted to take these memories home so we brought Jon’s book and documentary - my daughter started reading it in the car as soon as we left! The kids are already asking when can we go back!
I would score 20/10 if I could. This is not just a stay in a basic air bnb but a journey of discovery in the Bush!
