Accommodation is at the heart with a stunning bush rustic retreat and outdoor bath as well as a two- bedroom lodge with full amenities they offer bed and breakfast if you really wish to switch off. You can choose your activities from bush tracks around the land or the beach is just down the hill however you could just curl up on a chair in the bush and listen to the birds. it really is perfect for a peaceful escape from modern life. The weddings allow further opportunity to share the environment with others. Specially crafted plateaus around the farm maximise the natural setting and allow couples to choose where to hold their ceremony. Andrea speaks passionately about the how the wedding packages came about. “You don’t have to spend a fortune to have a beautiful wedding; the packages we have created are small which fits with our space and are designed to create a flexible, easy and relaxing day for bride, groom and others if they choose”.
