About the host
Hosted by Monica

We are situated on a large farm of just over 100 acres. We breed thoroughbreds and also have cattle.
In the warmer months we spend allot of time on the water, being freshwater, is very refreshing and great for boating and fishing and just relaxing.
My partner and myself live here full time and our home is half a kilometer from The Retreat allowing you plenty of privacy.
Always around to answer any questions, and say hello.
Cheers
