This place is a treasure! If you love the sound of a flowing river, birds singing in the morning, beautiful native flora, basking in the sun all day on a huge deck, and just slowing down - this is your spot! Above all the host goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. There wasn't anything she didn't want to help with to make sure I had everything I needed. I had my two Aussie pups with me and they loved it as well! The yard is a sizable play space for playing ball, running, and sniffing/exploring. As far as the fence opening by the deck, I had those configurable wire gates with me and used those to block off the spots that were open.
