"With a very friendly and warm welcome, Mary goes out of her way to look after her guests. Mary is a great cook, providing delicious treats.

This heritage home has been kept in authentic style in a beautiful, peaceful forest setting.

The home has a long history which is recorded in photos and albums kept by Mary for anyone interested. We enjoyed searching back through the photo records and relaxing in the conservatory."

- Rachel

“The homestead is a Victorian masterpiece.”

"Thank you Mary for sharing your beautiful home and idyllic setting. It was truly restful to only hear birdsong and the wind in the trees for a few days. And to enjoy your wonderful cooking! Your hospitality is truly five stars."
- Rachel and Mark
