Awesome secluded bush retreat. Peaceful in lush surroundings. Playing cards on the balcony was such a lovely experience with the birds singing nicely. Excellent amenities provided in kitchen (the flowers and chocolate was a lovely added touch). Jan and Garry are lovely hosts. The kangaroos were awesome to see so close as well.

We had such a nice time. Garry was very thoughtful with everything. He came by to check on us, share interesting things to do and daily built us a fire at night. The house had everything we needed. We were two moms with our sons who are friends and felt well taken care of. We will go back.

A perfect bush getaway, yet close enough to great places which you can explore such as the Hunter wineries. This was the best find for us and we will definitely be coming back. The whole vibe of the house and its location was perfect. The owners were very quick to respond to any queries and extremely nice people. We were six adults and we all loved it!
Our afternoon coffee view!
Our dusk outdoor fire which lasted for a few hours. All the wood was provided and the pit was set up Ashe’s rest for us to flick a match to!
