Abundant natural beauty surrounds in temperate rainforest national parks and coastal and rural landscapes. The house has a hacienda feel to it with an eclectic mix of vintage furnishings.

Ample bedding and soft snuggly blankets are provided and so are thick towels. Birds and colonies of micro bats are thriving in the area and you will hear them day and night. Recent storms have caused damage to trees on the property and there are some stacks of fallen trees awaiting council pick up on the nature strip. Car or walk. There is no public transport.
