Property is set on a farmlet so it is very quiet, and you can hear the moreporks at night. It is an older house but is warm and has a great view off the balcony.

A friendly woman met me when I arrived. She showed me my room and the facilities. The Bathroom facilities are shared, at the end of a long hall; the hall night light and my room's bedside lights didn't work. There was a modern single cup coffee maker; however there were no small cups to fit the machine . There are no restaurants or grocery stores nearby. The Kitchen facilities and tables were good.
