Arthur was great for showing us around, the site was excellent! Our dogs loved the open spaces and we all had a great time.

Mr and Mrs Y were lovely, accommodating and communicative hosts. The property is off the beaten track and not overrun by the masses, gorgeous and peaceful with a creek to go swimming and toilet amenities close by. We will be back for sure

Mr and Mrs Y were lovely hosts, extremely communicative and easy talk to. Directions were easy to follow. The site was off the beaten track, quiet, lovely with flat ground, a fire pit and toilet. There’s a small walk to the creek which is lovely for a dip. We will definitely be back
