Come in, put your feet up!
Pros:

Gorgeous property. Very laid back, welcoming. Beautiful homestead, like 'coming home.' Open fires, beautiful furniture, antiques & oil paintings.
Lots of accommodation options, all retaining the look & vibe of a farm stay.
Our accomodation, in the 'tin shed' was warm and comfortable. Loved all the outbuildings, many cleverly turned into accommodation.
Lovely staff & hosts.

Cons:

Our room was comfortable, but needed attention - a thorough spring clean, not just clean sheets & towels. Dusty surfaces, dead insects, mud & dirt on front door glass panels. Not a big deal, but attention to detail is important, and all these tasks only a few minutes extra to rectify.
Over our doorway (porch) was a light on an auto-setting that couldn't be switched off, and stayed on ALL night. It was incredibly bright, and the rollerblind covering the glass-panelled door didn't cover sufficiently to block out light or provide complete privacy. Hubby strung up clothing & towels to block the gaps 😝.

Pros:

The Location was fantastic. Beautiful surrounds very enjoyable. Dinner at the homestead was a very enjoyable experience great way to get some history on the area and everyone was very pleasant to have dinner with.

Cons:

The rooms had very thin doors that ajoined to other rooms it was a little strange seeing your neighbouring rooms turn on the light in the next room and you could see it come through.

A great experience
Pros:

We had a great night there sharing drinks in front of the open fireplace in the mansion with our friendly hosts Rose and Richard, followed by a super dinner of delicious wallabi fillets and potato gratin.Back to the fireplace for a comforting very nice rhubarb and apple crumble and a glass of whisky. It was a most enjoyable night.
