Excellent property and even better host
This is a beautiful property. It was better than expected. The kids got to feed and pat the horse, pick fresh eggs, be around Alpacas and the pony. Kiko the beautiful little dog was fun. The place was well appointed and the bathroom was excellent. 11 min drive to Mansfield town. Kees is a wonderful person. He showed us around the property and the different veggies they are growing and it was such a personalised approach. You can also do bushwalking as the forest is adjoining the property. Martina was very friendly and responsive to our email. We would definitely recommend the property fir someone looking for a farm experience.

Peaceful area.
We enjoyed the brief time here. The accommodation was of a very high standard and the area quiet with lovely views and the forest next door was great for a walk. It was only a short drive to Mansfield and other places of interest in the area. Thankyou to our hosts who were very hospitable.
