You will need a car to get into town from the farm as Uber is not always reliable in our area and drivers often cancel the ride when they arrive at the farm gate. You can ask us for a list of well priced, trusted local drivers who will collect you at your cabin. They should be booked in advance as they get busy. If you do take an Uber home, please do not give out the security codes to access the farm. If you wish to use Uber to collect you from the farm, meet the Uber at the bottom gate and leave your own car on the parking bay just inside the gate. Other things to note On arrival guests have a welcome pack including a bottle of our own wine (tee totallers are welcome to request juice instead) tea, coffee, milk and some wood and toilet paper to get you started.
