Perfect for a romantic getaway for two, groups or families sleeping up to 11, this beautifully appointed home has everything you need for a slowed down and comfortable escape from the everyday that will make you feel relaxed the moment you enter. The space Close to town, yet so secluded, you feel like you are miles away. Set on 38 acres on a biological farm, overlooking an organic citrus grove and private dam, this is the perfect place to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature. Relax on the wrap-around verandah and listen to the birdsong, doze in front of the open fire and fall asleep to the sound of silence. Carefully crafted and considered, your beautifully distictive escape awaits. We love to welcome our guests with true hospitality, so you will find a gourmet gift platter on arrival complete with a bottle of local wine, local cheese and crackers, homemade citrus marmalade, freshly ground local Stash coffee, a sweet treat and a range of teas and fresh citrus from our farm.

Curl up on the large sofa in front of the enormous open-fire place, wine, coffee or book in hand whilst watching the flicker of the flame and let all your stress melt away. Or lounge on the large relaxing day-bed in the internal central sun-room, and meditate or day-nap. And if you need to chill further, you could cuddle up on the other sofa and watch your favourite series on the smart TV (please bring your own log-ins) or play a board game at the games table or a game of pétanque or soccer outside.

The house has an undercover carport, as well as numerous other parking options for additional vehicles.
