Country paradise with cute neighbours
Jan's place is charming, both inside the property and out, and came complete with nearby kangaroos which grazed outside the kitchen and living rooom window both mornings. The house is cosy and comfortable with a log fire and lovely modern bathroom shared between both bedrooms. Jan was a considerate host and we enjoyed meeting her for a quick chat just before checking out. A peaceful, warm and very relaxing stay in a beautiful part of the state.

We booked this wonderful home to celebrate my father's bday. Jan was kind enough to leave some wine and chocolates for us to help celebrate. The place was a lovely escape from the city with kangaroos in the backyard! Thanks again Jan :)

Beautiful Basalt
We booked at the last minute and were happy to find somewhere that would accept just one night. Jan’s home is lovely. And the windows opened onto beautiful views. I am looking forward to returning for the birdsong in the morning and the star filled night sky.

Quiet, rustic and relaxing
My 2 sisters and I had a lovely one-night stay here. Bottle of fresh milk in the fridge was much appreciated (I always forget to bring my own). We made our own cheese board and sat outside enjoying the Aussie bush and birds. Kangaroos visited in the morning. Comfie beds. No wifi but we knew that in advance and didn’t need it.
