Rates start at $110/single, $170/couple and $80/additional adult in the same group. Special rates for families with dependent children.
Couples, groups up to 8 (includes the attic). Not suitable for toddlers but babies not yet crawling welcome. Normally one couple, group or family at a time for improved experience. When accommodation demand is high during special events, more than one ‘group’ may stay by pre-approved arrangement.
Animals include my young working dog Lark, cattle, and hens which provide the fresh free-range eggs served with breakfast. Native forest and birds are thriving due to pest control and healthy habitat. Glow worms can be seen at night in the bush.
