It's true when the reviews say the beauty of this place is understated in the promo material. Its a magic place to stay and Jane is a superb host. For the noise sensitive, there are some pump sounds at night but this is to be expected on a rural property, and it's quite manageable, ie by choosing the room furthest away from the source. If you are keen on checking out local birdlife, the river environs won't disappoint; we spent hours on end counting and photographing the many species there, and only a stroll away. Highly recommended!
