Located 10kms west of Bendemeer in a peaceful valley. Enjoy waking up to birdcalls, views of rolling hills and gumtrees. An early morning cuppa on your sun drenched verandah overlooking the paddocks as the cattle graze, is a relaxing way to start your day.
Have a stroll by the creek or take a picnic (hampers require notice). Walk among the cows and calves as they graze (calving time is between July and October). Enjoy a game of tennis or just relax in the tranquil garden.
A gourmet breakfast served in the garden consists of juice, fruits, free range eggs and fresh herbs picked straight from the garden, finished with homemade jams from our own fruit, and freshly baked bread, tea or plunger coffee. Local produce is used when in season.
Delicious dinners are also available. Are you celebrating? Enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner and a later check out.
We are environmentally friendly and non-smoking.
Visit craft shops, wineries and lavender farm, in the local area, and further afield antique shops, museums, woollen mill and berry farm. We can arrange for a helicopter flight over the gorges, a picnic lunch and pick up from the front paddock. Go trout fishing in the McDonald River or at sunset look for the platypus under the old bridge. Bendemeer hosts a rodeo (Feb), art show(Apr), and an open garden weekend ( Feb.) each year.
We are halfway between Sydney and Brisbane so spend a few days exploring or have a relaxing stopover.
You will leave invigorated by the fresh country air!
