Property is advertised with the BBQ. Unfortunately we were told after purhase of our stay in order to use it.. you have to purchase the BBQ pack for $145 dollars. I have very specific dietary requirements and although there is a fry pan inside.. this left a very sour taste in my mouth that we werent allowed to use the BBQ. Just seemed petty and they failed to acknowledge this as unfair or sneaky. Wont be back

Simply stunning. Our expectations were high and this exceeded them and blew us away. The view was amazing and Rebecca made everything really easy in the run up to our stay. Not sure I will ever stay somewhere quite so idyllic and beautiful as this.

The view, the tranquillity and THE VIEW!!!
Fantastic cabin on the edge of the hill. Fantastic views over farmland and the ranges. Quiet and secluded, lots of privacy. Lots of windows to make sure you can enjoy the view where-ever you are in the cabin!
