Enjoy the peaceful, natural surrounds and beautiful scenery. The homestead is set amongst tranquil gardens and has a swimming pool available during the summer months.

Our pristine water comes from captured rain water. When using water for showers, flushing the toilet and using power, please be mindful of our natural resources and how limited they are.
