Fenella's place gave us a taste of how we would love to live! It's a self sufficient lifestyle in a beautiful environment. As guests, we enjoyed the privacy of the garage loft room separate from the main house . The ladder is fine as long as you have a reasonable level of mobility. We swum in the bush surrounded swimming hole. Breakfast was healthy and delicious. The dogs and chickens are friendly and adorable. Fenella gave us generous access to her amazing vegetable garden and fruit trees.
