Wedding visit

The property is well positioned for our purpose but it is very rundown and shabby. There were many dirty/ dusty places throughout the house and as the host I was very aware of the situation. Sorry to not be able to report more favorably. The horses were poorly fed -ribs showing! Supposed to be 5 fowls- only 1! I will never book again without inspecting the property.

Quiet retreat

This was a lovely quiet country retreat close to the gorgeous little town of Wollombi. Friendly locals & gorgeous little shops, great open fire pizzas at the local. Our host Michael was great to deal with, introducing himself in the town when he came across us. It was wonderful and we’ll be back!
