Welcome to our home - Please respect the environment, facilities, 20km/hr Maximum Speed Limit & treat everything with care. Accidents happen, let us know as soon as possible, for your own comfort & that of the next guest. Please respect the native fauna & flora and give all creatures space to enjoy their peaceful natural surroundings. We are striving to develop an ecosystem that is supportive & welcoming of native wildlife & provides them a safe sanctuary. Please support us in our endeavours. This is a bushland setting & there will be bugs of all varieties. We do our best to keep them out of the Yurt & Bathroom facilities & remind our guests to do the same. Keep the doors shut at all times, or you never know what might be sharing your bed or shower! We’re here to help, if you do find a bug you can’t stand as a room-mate & don’t wish to remove it yourself, give us a call. The sounds you will mostly hear are birdsong & the breeze in the trees, however sound travels in quiet surroundings. Water is a great conductor of sound & from time to time you may hear sounds from far away which may include some traffic sounds & gunshots. This is not a regular occurrence but we don’t wish you to be alarmed if you do hear this. It may sound very close but will actually be neighbouring farmers scaring off foxes. We do not shoot on our property, nor allow anyone else to do so.
