Country comfort
There are many bedroom with lots of combinations. There is a pool that you can even use in winter. Cows, chickens and sheep keep kids away from screens. The house is nice and warm, with deep lounge chairs for wstvhing tv and reading. Mel, our hostess, made us very comfortable and left plenty of supplies and backup support. Lots of activitirs to do around us.

CLEANLINESS
We had a great stay at this property and we would highly recommend staying here the property was great but the only downfall was the CLEANLINESS of the house! The whole house needs a good deep clean inside!

Mini resort
We had a great time. Loved the tennis court although too cool for the pool. House worked well for our group of friends. Lovely village and sadly the pub closed for renovation. Thanks Melanie for all the goodies left for our use, we didn’t expect it and it was a lovely gesture.

Wonderful Family Farm Stay
My family of three generations all had a wonderful three days . The host left plenty of supplies in bathrooms and kitchen area . All ages were catered for in accommodation.
The outside areas had plenty of chairs / tables and the wood pile was amazing . We had both indoor and outdoor fires all three nights and did not run out .
We will certainly recommend the farm to others .?

Large farm house suitable for large group
We had a 5 generation family get together of 19 people, age 11 weeks through to adult. We utilised every room, enjoyed the animals, tennis court, even 2 boys in the pool in July 😱. We did day trips and explored Bathurst, Oberon & Orange. Great location. Would be very happy to return. Host Melanie was awesome and responsive to a few things we needed during the week. No hesitation to recommend

Family getaway
What a great host Mel is. Everything about this was families are welcome. We were a family of 8 adults and 8 children but we never felt we were on top of one another. The tennis court was given a great workout and the kids tried the pool. Little extras were everywhere from the milk and bread to the chocolates in the foyer. Thankyou Mel I would highly recommend this host and property

We had a great time, there is plenty of space to roam. The kids made great use out of the tennis courts, play equipment and we enjoy roasting marshmellows.
Melanie was a great host and assisted us when needed. They left us breakfast cereal and the biggest fruit bowl ever.
Would definitely stay again.

Thanks for a great family holiday. As a big group we really appreciated the large living areas and separate rumpus room, multiple bathrooms and well stocked kitchen. The toys and swing set were enjoyed by the kids and the warm pool by everyone.
The owner could not have been more helpful and was always prompt with communication.

Perfect getaway
This house was perfect for our early family Christmas getaway. While the weather wasn’t great, it didn’t matter as the pool was heated and the out door fire pit added to the experience. The tennis court (even had lights for night time)for games and fresh eggs from the chickens. I couldn’t fault the place at all. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Beautiful and cozy place to live
It was really great experience for me and my families. The owner had been very kind and helpful from the day I booked my holiday. I was worried as COVID might affect my holiday but Mel reassured me that she will
Refund if I had to cancel my trip due to COVID. Throughout my stay, we really enjoyed our stay. There was a situation which was totally unforeseen but Mel promptly fixed the issue. Me and my family were quite impressed with her quick response. She did not let my holiday ruined and made her effort to compensate. I will definitely go back if I am traveling again. I will recommend the place 10/10. Once again, I would like to thank Mel and team to make our holiday memorable . :)
