Property Description:
Each architect designed dwelling, on this 200 acre bushland property, has been built with a feel for the landscape. Every one offers something different. The natural surrounds are echoed in the rustic building elements that have been executed with care and attention to guest comfort. Polished recycled timbers feature widely. In some cottages you can see exposed timber ceilings or roof trusses. Some of the bathrooms capture an Australian heritage theme that is full of character. King size beds with crisp white sheets and warm feather doonas can be found in every double bedroom. Slow burning wood fires give warmth and cosy ambience. The kitchens are well equipped with gas cooktops and microwaves. The larger dwellings, Mannagum and The Lodge also have full ovens. Each cottage is comfortably furnished and equipped with a television, DVD and CD player.
