Lovely weekend away
It was a lovely weekend away with my partner, truly a magical spot and highly recommended for anyone who loves the chill and relaxed atmosphere and scenery of an old farmstead and cottage, as well as the horses, ducks and chickens on the property as well.

Farm stay perfect for exploring the Food Trail
Hosts Stacey and Michael have created a perfect place to stay within minutes of the Food Trail. We stayed at Long John’s Cottage which was as described with everything we needed for a cosy and peaceful place to stay. Stacey kindly showed us around the property, meeting their horses and the resident duck. There is a beautiful outlook from their other residences which you can stay in, including a dam and scenic mountain views. Be sure to purchase some of the delicious farm honey. Highly recommend!
