The Shepherds hut is set in private grounds with lovely gardens beside a pond . The pond level changes with the seasons. The hot tub is under weeping willows beside the pond
I love gardening, travelling and meeting new people . I am also a wedding celebrant and hold small weddings on the property.
Lovely quiet rural neighbourhood just 4kms outside of Hanmer Springs known for its thermal pooks, mountain biking , walking , shopping and eateries .
