We ran a successful Bed and Breakfast business here for 10 years with great reviews and were ready to pass it on to someone special.
The property is peaceful with Beautiful birds and wildlife surrounding the property creating a tranquil environment for all to enjoy. The property is a sanctuary for some very special flora and fauna which youll see every day. The rooms have been built to create privacy and convenience for all the visitors that come through the doors. Every room has a balcony and an ensuite with a toilet, shower and basin with heated lights, fans and mirrors.
This eco property creates a self sufficient lifestyle where you can enjoy as a lovely family home that can provide an income from having interesting people from all over the world come and visit. We also offered extras like Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, packed lunches, local cheese plates and alcoholic beverages.
We had to move three years ago due to health problems and have been using this time to work on making it truly great. The outer of the house has been freshly painted and is looking great and we have re-furnished all the rooms so the property is ready to run. We currently have a tenant running/maintaining it as an Airbnb and he is having a wonderful time.
There is a beautiful General Store 200 meters up the road that has great coffee and meals and is the hub of the town. There is a community hall and a Mens Shed in the village and these places provide great locations for the community to gather.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to fill in any details for you.
