Quiet and relaxing stay

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Kate and Jake's home. Upon arrival, we were greeted by their very friendly horse, which immediately set a lighthearted mood. The room is small, but it has everything we needed. The sun's rays from the sunset and the sunrise hit the veranda just right, and we were able to spend a lovely evening and morning just chilling, listening to nature all around.Thank you for sharing your space, Kate and Jake!

Wonderful

The property is clean, cosy, quiet, and has amazing views. The room is very comfortable. The hosts are super kind and polite. It is as advertised - rainwater, outdoor bathroom, one bedroom with basic kitchen etc. We would definitely recommend for couples and hope to return. The in room guest book is filled with messages from people who have loved staying here. The animals are a bonus and the bird songs are beautiful.

Cutest little cottage

This very cute little cottage is a great get away from the city. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly owners who popped in to say hello. Homemade cookies to welcome us and breakfast of cereals provided. The outdoor bathroom didn’t bother us but the weather was great…might have been different if it was raining.

Not quite what we're after

Clean, crisp, cozy, and friendly hosts. But just not quite what we're after. Room for improvement with a screen door, rather than a shower curtain to mitigate the stormy weather for privacy in the outdoor shower/toilet. And clearer description that there aren't any cooking or kitchen facilities in the cabin; we'd planned to cook a quiet meal on site, so instead had to go into the city to eat. Perhaps a little outdoor bench with a gas cooker next to the outdoor table and chairs? The place was very small, but cozy. But we'd really been after something completely isolated and not across from the house and carport. Please note, the hosts were great and giving us complete privacy, but it was just not quite what we were after.
