Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Stay in a unique dwelling like an underground Hobbit Hole. Privately located overlooking a lake, native bush and pasture. Enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast and relax on a deck surrounded by landscaped garden and bird song (over 35 different species of bird may be viewed). At night time you could have a visit from a Morepork (Native owl).
