Julie’s place is absolutely stunning! The area and the farm are beautiful. It really feels like you are “getting away”, even if you’re only an hour from home. We were lucky enough to be given access to the pizza oven in the family’s private entertainment area while they were away which was a fun experience.
Everything was lovely. It was quiet, cosy and felt safe. The pool area had a great vibe. Staff were friendly and respectful of privacy. It is on a farm, so expect to share your room with a daddy-long-legs or two and interact/ share common spaces with the friendly pets (cats/dog) running about. We absolutely fell in love with Skittles, the dog on the farm. Wish we could have taken her home with us!
Our only negative was our check-in experience (but I don’t think this is the norm- just unfortunate timing for us). On arrival, we were told the padlock to the main entrance of the farm was stuck and couldn’t open. After some waiting around, the staff directed us to a different gate at the bottom of the farm however the ground was rough to get up to the usual parking area. Our car unfortunately got stuck at one point which resulted in the underside getting quite a nasty bump and scratch. We did however make it up the hill eventually! The staff later provided us with a bottle of Q10 and my boyfriend was able to fiddle around and get the lock in working order again so that we could use the paved roads from then onwards.
Would also highly recommend saving up a few bucks and going for a drink/meal up the road at Idiom restaurant- so convenient.
Thanks for a wonderful stay!
