What a wonderful trip and relaxing location!
Ellen and I wanted to have a quiet and relaxing Christmas, so we found this little spot on Airbnb and booked it in mainly because we could bring our dog, Wesley (Collie x Golden Retriever).
When we arrived our first reaction was wow, this is even better than the photos!
A beautiful little oasis on a farm. The nice flowing willow tree on its own little island and a tiny house neatly tucked at the back of the private paradise.
We were greeted by Justin and got a run down of the place and warm welcome.
The next few days, we didn't get up to do much, we sat around in a Hammock in the shade reading some books and having a few cold beers. Detoxing the mind.
We did take our e-Bikes and took the Pink trail ride around the farm with Wesley, it's only about 3.67kms, but it does have some steep climbs and a-lot of great views. Just make sure you have your hay-fever tablet before you head off! :) However, definitely recommend you either walk it or bike ride it once!
One day we did drive over to have a look at Vinegar Hill, which is just glorious. Had a little paddle in the river and Wesley had a swim. We also drove up to Stormy Point to have a look at the amazing view! Definitely worth a short trip to have a look.
And a big thank you to Wayne for starting the fire for us on two of the nights, it was a wonderful atmosphere and very relaxing to watch the stars light up the night sky. Wayne also gave us a ride up to the top of the farm and showed us the boundaries and gave a mini tour and history lesson of the farm. Was a treat!
We will definitely come back.
Thanks from Liam, Ellen and Wesley.
Few little tips:
-VERY little phone reception, definitely was not a problem, but just to be prepared (2degrees anyway).
-Bring a small bluetooth speaker, can be nice to have some music. Definitely glad we had one.
-Bring a picnic rug or towel to lay on the grass. We had some light material towels that were fantasic.
-If you can suffer from hay-fever, just make sure you bring some tablets, we did suffer from some bad hay-fever on occasion, (even with 4 different tablets).
-Make sure you have a walk or bike ride around the Pink Trail on the farm. Great views.
-A deck of cards would be ideal to have with you.
-We brought all our groceries in advance so didn't have to make any trips out.
No cons, we were very happy with the whole experience.
Thank you Mary, Justin and Wayne.
