Idyllic Tuscan Paradise with magical gardens

Welcome home to your one of a kind idyllic Tuscan paradise in the Mt Gambier countryside where you will find the time to immerse yourself in its wonderful peace and quiet. Be infused with fresh energy as the magical serenity of this Garden of Eden washes over you. You’ll relish feeling all of the stress and tension of your journey just melting away. A haven of tranquility with a rustic tennis court, no noisy neighbours and a feeling of time and space, so hard to find these days. The space The lush, manicured gardens are the perfect place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with the sound of birdsong serenading you, whilst in the company of a kangaroo or two, munching on their breakfasts in the distance. You’ll be forgiven for thinking that you have magically been whisked away from the hustle and bustle of normal life. Between the hammocks and the many fairy tale nooks and crannies, you will find endless idyllic spots to sit and read or blissfully doze under the dappled shade of the many trees scattered throughout the grounds. Here every day feels like a lazy, old-fashioned Sunday. The beautiful blue pool is big and is perfect for a refreshing dip after a long, hot drive. Please note that there is no heating for the pool, and in this part of the world that means sometimes the water can be a little bracing, but still wonderfully refreshing, it is very cold in winter. Please no diving as there isn’t a deep end. The pool area is shared with guests from the cottage area. The rustic tennis court is great for a bit of a run around and is a lot of fun. The court is not near championship standards, (and a little uneven in places,) so don't expect too much, but racquets and (used) balls are available and a lot of fun. The property is bounded by cool, scented pine forests. In the area are many wonderful attractions including the fascinating Tantanoola Caves just a few minutes drive away, as well as the beautiful and famous Blue Lake where you can try your hand at scuba-diving in the azure waters, along with many renowned and challenging cave-diving spots in the area. There is also Lake Bonney for those who’d like to try a spot of fishing or boating and along the coast road to the east you will find the Twelve Apostles, less than a three and a half hour drive away. To the south is Port Macdonnell on the coast which is renowned for its delicious rock lobster and fishing boat charters. Feel invigorated after a restful night in our little piece of heaven, the restfulness of the park-like grounds will gently soothe you, leaving you refreshed and ready to head off on the next leg of your journey. (We’d suggest you plan on staying a little longer though, as all who visit here fall in love with the place and wish they could stay longer!) Here at home we have authentic pizza ovens should you wish to try your hand at whipping up a traditional home-made pizza, a bbq to enjoy al-Fresco meals, as well as cooking facilities in the farm-style slate-floored kitchen. We look forward to welcoming you to our little piece of paradise, once you are here you’ll never want to leave. The main house sleeps six, with two single beds in one room, and a queen sized double bed in each of the other two bedrooms. Guest access Best place to park... After you’ve entered the driveway, go past the first turn to the right, continue straight a little further, then take the next right into the carport. (In case it rains) Other things to note The pool is great fun, however as it is an indoor pool there is echo and as a result louder noise travels. We respectfully ask that you do not scream and shout, and ask that you help us to preserve the tranquility of the property, which is what makes it such a special place. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in this regard. The pool area is shared with guests from the cottage area.**Please note** THE POOL CLOSES AT 9PM. **Please note**THE POOL CLOSES FOR WINTER ON THE 12TH OF APRIL** Guests are supplied with one complimentary crate of firewood on arrival, if you would like more then you are also welcome to bring your own wood and we will show you where to store it.
