    Great place to relax with a great host.

    The bedroom was too bright in the morning due to the curtains, but nothing major. Moreover, at night if the lights were on you could see the whole bedroom from the outside, but as mentioned, not a huge problem, just a fact.

    Quiet and cozy place to relax, great facility. Good host and nature surrounds. Close to the city but away enough to be really quiet.

    Marilyn was a gracious host, the cooked breakfast was fantastic and her concern when I mentioned I wasn’t feeling well was greatly appreciated. the room was spacious and comfortable. I liked the location and it’s proximity to Victor Harbor. it was peaceful and gave me sone much needed downtime

    no internet reception so no phone, computer or TV made it a total break from our hectic life. plenty of good dvd's supplied by host.

    The breakfast was always on time, fresh farm eggs, bacon, hashbrown, baked beans , toast. Friendly owners, dog and chickens. great to hear the rooster everymorning. loads of space in the accommodation to move around in.

    Nothing to not like but maybe some table lamps in the lounge room to make it a bit more cosy.

    Such a wonderfully peaceful location. Lovely to wake up to the bird song and cows mooing. Very clean and comfortable with a great choice of DVDs to watch. Cooked breakfast each morning was a great way to start the day and being off grid was a refreshing change! Thank you Marilyn for your hospitality :-)

    Some people might say that having no internet service and no television service available as a negative. We found enough to do without these - such as reading and watching dvd's. The animals outside always caught our interest, particularly the chooks and the friendly dog.

    The breakfast was awesome but too much for every day. Marilyn was very accommodating in our request for a lighter breakfast. The hosts were very welcoming and it was a pleasure to spend time with them. We enjoyed watching the farm animals and looking around the garden area. It was peaceful. The farm stay was a good base from which to visit Victor Harbor and its many attractions.
