As we drove in, this home stay was a little different to the image I had in my mind. We were greeted by the farm dogs with a boisterous welcome of barking and carrying on. Soon Rob, our host's husband, appeared and we met Vivien, in the house.
From the first encounter I felt welcome and at ease with these warm and friendly people. If you like animals, and enjoy company, this place is great. It's cool and airy outside, with a beautiful view to the North. Vivien made us feel relaxed in her home at all times. Rob showed us the emu and the glow worms and Vivien's son helped me fix a small problem in my car. This place is different, you are in someone's home, not a separate space, so if you are looking for a quiet, retreat away from people and activity, this isn't it. But if you want the experience of staying in a local farm, full of different animals (including Viv's baby koala), you will enjoy a stay here.
