The central lounge area with open fireplace, writing desk and generous leather lounge offers a reading selection of current issue magazines and books, flat screen television and CD player, CDS, DVDs and board games. French doors open to a verandah with tranquil garden outlook and Weber BBQ.

The kitchen and dining area provide new stainless steel oven, dishwasher, microwave and seating for six guests. Breakfast provisions are the finest quality produce including oranges and lemons from the property's citrus grove, Grinders coffee, Fortnum and Mason teas, local farm-fresh free range eggs, thick cut bacon, Cunliffe and Waters preserves, fresh-baked sourdough and house-made muesli with yogurt.

The Gardens
Set against a back-drop of soaring Californian Redwoods and Himalayan Cedars, the gardens have featured in Australia's Open Garden Scheme and hosted charity events for the Victorian State Opera.

Guests can enjoy the majestic grounds at their leisure including fishing in the lake, picnics in the rotunda, strolls through the walled gardens and citrus grove, reading by the creek and for the enthusiast, abundant bird life.

Alternatively, explore one of the many local attractions ideally situated to the property, including the Valley's best wineries and restaurants.

Other things to note
Breakfast provisions are provided for the first morning of your stay.

There is a minimum three night stay on long weekends and four nights at Easter and Christmas.

Pets are welcomed outside by permission from your host.
