I have really loved staying here. Two words describe the place well: centred calmness.
Sargam and her husband are friendly and helpful and go the extra mile to check all is ok with your stay. Sargam is a deeply caring and compassionate lady who is a great spiritually centred counsellor too!
The room has its own toilet/bathroom, with a large triangular bath /shower, plus a small kitchenette to yourself across the hall from this bedroom.
This suits people who are quiet, respectful of others and early to bed, (10pm), as family members sleep just close down the hall. Late arrivals, long showers or midnight walks are not a good idea here to show respect for family needs. Linen and towels and floors were kept clean.
There is a cook top or microwave. The house exudes old style grace and charm with nice touches of class. There is a comfortable tv room and dining room you can use to eat your food.
Sargam was an excellent administrator of bookings and was very accommodating, when it came to me doing things out of the norm like suggesting I read a book of hers which helped me get out of a spiritual hole, helping me dispose of a pane of broken glass from my car, allowing me to wash my clothes in their washing machine and line outside. My stay was especially comforting because Sargam was like a caring mother to me when I didn’t feel well. She also has the grace to give you plenty of alone time and space when you need it. She is an emotionally intelligent and intuitive host, who is deftly juggling being a good mum, wife, student of counselling and astute air b n b business woman.
The garden is lovely work in progress and is being landscaped by her husband.
There is an empty pool out the back yard, where a mother duck and nine fearless ducklings entertained us, in their brave, and relentless attempts to get out of the pool. Every time the weakest one was left behind, the mum would stop and return the whole family down to the water to start the trip all over again to make sure no one was left behind. It gave me hope for humans yet. Shevreminded me of Sargam. A beautiful mother duck, bravely working hard for her family’s welfare. This mammoth effort from those 9 wee bubbas too reminded me to smile and to keep climbing in life to survive (and climb out of its mires and pitfalls.
My stay was a peaceful and comforting respite from the fray. It was lovely being woken after a good night sleep to the dulcet tones of birds in the huge gum trees nearby.
Thankyou Sargam and family!.
