★★★★★ We absolutely loved our stay on the farm! If I had to find fault – I would have liked a bedside lamp for reading, an axe to chop wood would have been super handy (I will take my own next time). EVERYTHING else was PERFECT, crisp linen, fully equipped kitchen, magnificent view, friendly horses, Tanya happily sacrificed her Sunday to help us with a water problem... We will definitely go back as soon... Read more

★★★★★ The valley itself is idyllic, with the sound of waterfalls in the distance. There is so much to do and see and I will definately be back to try one of the hikes that we didn't have a chance to try.
