    Nothing at all

    We had a wonderful three night stay here during late autumn. We got the old farmhouse, which was spacious, comfortable and clean. Kitchen was beyond fully equipped - they even had a rice cooker! It got a little chilly in the evenings but we got the fireplace going and the house was warm and cosy. There's a great view of the sunrise right from the front porch, with mists swirling in the valley below. If you're lucky enough to have a clear night, head out for some stargazing - the milky way glows gloriously through the night. There's a small hill behind the property which leads into their own rainforest trek. Lots of mushrooms, ferns, and gum trees to be seen. Plenty of pademelons and wallabies at dawn and dusk too. Grant and Marieke were wonderful and generous hosts. Guests are allowed into the vegetable garden to take what they need (harvest responsibly and leave some for others).

    Excellent place. Taken care of the smallest details and you can feel the love the owner has for this place. It was lovely talking to Grant. The trail on the property was amazing. We saw so many birds and some pademelons. Also saw a platypus at the pond. The house was clean and well equipped and had everything we needed.

    The bed in the cottage called Pearls was too firm for me. It was quite hot one day and the fan was not strong. It has minimal kitchen bench-space and no oven.

    Peaceful country location with amazing views. Grant the manager was very helpful and kind. We loved his wood pile sculptures. The vegetable garden was a bonus. Lovely walk up the hill to the yoga hut with a panoramic vista. Sweet and quirky decor that feels very homely.

    Being able to stay longer!

    The cottage was very cozy and clean. The host was very welcoming and shared a lot of his local knowledge. The property has a beautiful rainforest walk and it is a great place to get away from it all. Being able to use the vegetable garden and getting a fresh egg from the chickens was really nice. The views amazing, especially sunrise and sunset. You were able to have a drink or picknick in different areas matching whether you wanted a private spot or have a chat with other guests.

    We loved The Old Farmhouse. It was cosy, clean, comfortable and full of character (while not being at all old and dated) and it had fabulous views. Grant was a great host, very friendly and helpful and gave us good recommendations about what to do. It was just 20 mins from Mountfield National Park and there was also a very well guided short walk from the property, with stunning views. The fresh eggs and picking fresh raspberries from the garden were an added bonus! We would definitely like to stay here again.

    Absolutely nothing

    Such a special place, I almost don’t want to recommend it so that this beautiful part of the world remains so untouched. Our family of five stayed in a comfy cabin with everything you could need including a cosy fire place where you could sit and look out over hillsides, trees and ponies. There is a lovely veggie patch and outdoor games too. We saw echidna and platypus every day, and the rainforest walk on the property rivals the official walks at Mnt Field. Easy access to all local attractions, and Grant is helpful and friendly. Wish we had booked a week!
