Our room was very comfortable and spacious with beautiful view across the valley to the Cathedral Range beyond. We were given a very warm welcome and loved getting to know the four-legged members of the farm. There is plenty to explore in the region – hiking, wineries, four-wheel driving, great food, markets and much more. We look forward to returning. Faye, November 2015.
