this is a really unique place and not for everyone A sense of adventure and a love of vintage homewares with some modern comforts (like a dishwasher and indoor plumbing) is a must. This kind of experience is hard to come by so close to the city.

in the warmer months, we make the two sleep outs available too, with room for at least two more couples or another family ( note: there is no power in the sleep outs. We use solar lights and torches which we will provide.

however, the use of the sleep-outs are dependent on how many adult guests are booked
during the months of may, june and july the bush covered cliff above our house shades us completely from the winter sun ( which is why we are lucky enough to have glowworms)
we recommend staying between august and april (although it is warm and cosy in the winter with the fire roaring or the heat pump on.) Please enquire if you would like to stay over the winter, keeping in mind that the bush aspect of the house, means that it is wet and shady outside at this time of year.
our property is unique and not suitable for children under 5 due to its proximity to the river
if you are arriving at night, make sure that you have some kind of torch or phone flashlight as you will need to negotiate the bridge and path to the house.
