Amazing place for a family get together.
We came from four different states. We were a range of ages from 8-73. The place was so well set up for our family. We celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and being a family. The children enjoyed playing cricket and footy with some of the adults. The Bush Mechanic DVD was a hit as we knew most of the actors. Board games were played with much laughter and a little manipulation. Food was eaten in abundance. We really appreciated the fruit bowl, different types of milk and breakfast supplies. All in all a great four days.

What makes this property unique

This beautiful home was built with family in mind. It provides a unique opportunity for family and friends to gather and connect with each other without having to travel long distances from all the necessities of daily life.

The house has been lovingly crafted by the owners and their family. The mudbricks used to build the house, were individually crafted onsite, the house was built to nestle in to the hillside and to make the most of the natural environment.

The house and land have been lovingly developed over the years, thousands of trees have been planted on the once bare hillside to create an environment which is home to many species of birds and other native animals.

This is a truely special place, where you can gather with friends and family and enjoy being together.
