Oasis of calm

This place was so beautiful and peaceful. Eating outside under shady vines, sitting round the outdoor fire in the evening. And Tania and her dog are very welcoming. A lovely weekend.

Charming home

This delightful home set in a magnificent rambling garden was a joy to relax in for 3 nights. We were welcomed & made very comfortable amongst a life-time of collectable treasures. Sitting by the purpose built outdoor fireplace a great addition. Loved it!

A Beautiful Setting Away from it All

A beautiful spot in an area that's off the beaten track. Very peaceful surrounded by nature. The beds were very comfortable and the owner very respectful. Self catering with all the pans, plates etc. I would say it's not really appropriate for those who are elderly. They may struggle to get into a shower that's in the bath. Some minor issues with the temperature gage in the shower and the upstairs toilet which I believe is being resolved. Overall a lovely spot, that calms and revitalises.

Amazing hideaway with gorgeous views

The house is just beautiful and Tania is such a wonderful host. Best sleep in years. This is the kind of place that reminds you of weekends away at some relatives huge house in the middle of nowhere (yet close to the city) where all you do is relax, read books and play board games. Lunches on the veranda were just stunning and drinking coffee in front of the fireplace on the chilly mornings even more so. Thank you Tania, the stay was amazing!

Rustic home-stay

Beautiful old house in stunning gardens, with very comfortable bedrooms and a gorgeous deck to enjoy meals on. However, the house is full of personal belongings, including food in the fridge /freezer, and the house could do with a deep clean and a bit of maintenance (dirty crockery in the cupboards, dirty cushion covers, out-of-order dishwasher, broken toilet seat etc). It wasn’t quite the standard we were expecting for the price we paid.

We loved this place!

The house and its setting, everything about it, was lovely. It felt like something out of a fairy tale. I thought that the home was surely at least a 100 years old, but Tania informed us that she had built it in the 1980s and had designed it to look like an old style farm home. And there was the landscaping--just gorgeously beautiful. It is obvious that this home and its surroundings are a labor of love for Tania. So glad we found this VRBO.

My friends said it was a beautiful property but they were not allowed to use some of the things on the property. They also said it felt like the place needed some cleaning. Overall good stay.

Lovely stay!

We loved our stay here! Tania was so welcoming - she had prepared the fire rfor us and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants. The outdoor fire was amazing and we also enjoyed playing boardgames by the fire indoors. It can get slightly cold, as it is a large house with wooden floors, so just bring a pair of slippers if you feel the cold. I would definitely recommend this place though! Thanks again Tania for having us :)

Simply unique and amazing

This place is magical. Cozy beyond words and the owner is a very kind, friendly person who has created a place of real charm and with a very relaxing atmosphere and setting. Fireplaces inside and out were a bonus. Banjo the dog is never far away, so make sure you are ok with dogs. For us, Banjo added to the experience as he was very friendly and got along well with our toddler. Would recommend this rental to all.
