Pictures do not do this places views justice! Fabulous location, place and host..

Great week spent in gorgeous countryside and serenity. Only sounds you hear are the cows, sheep, birds and at night, the crackling of the fire whilst stargazing. The house was spacious and clean and warm with comfy beds and a well appointed kitchen. And Mike the host couldn't be more helpful or friendly. The near town of Crookwell was lovely and the bakery is definitely worth a visit! Its just the perfect, hassle free place to get away from it all.

Disappointing

Lovely rural setting but the house was untidy and unclean in some areas in the kitchen with way too much of the owner's possessions around. The hotwater in the ensuite didn't work. We received advice: no linen. All the doonas and pillows had been stowed away; fortunately, we had our own doona but it was unclear which ones we should have used; two of the pillow were damp. Just one bath towel was supplied and there was no key to lock the door. The farm gate was open when we arrived. We left after night 2 of the 3 night booking.
