Couldn’t recommend this place more, the location is GREAT for kids, so many parks, attractions, beaches, cafes all within 5-15mins but when you’re at the barn you feel like you’re in the country.
Irene was SO kind and friendly, let my toddler come play with and feed all the animals, the barn was set up perfectly for travelling as a family, toys galore yet homely, warm in the cold, but felt like a holiday and I could relax knowing it was a family friend place, with fenced off backyard, friendly animals (none bit even when my toddler shrieked and jumped around) and the comforts of wifi and Netflix for when the little one was asleep.
Irene and Richard also offer baby sitting with notice which I’ll be taking up next time to go to the hot springs.
We’ll be back in a couple months as demanded by my son :)
