Wonderful

The kangaroos in the bush and the cockatoos and parrots were lovely to witness so close
The wood heater was appreciated in the cold spring weather
The furniture is tired and disappointing the TV wasn’t working
The bushland views were wonderful from the deck and the lounge room window
I had a lovely 3 night stay with my two small dogs. The house was lovely and warm, 10 mins from Trentham, lovely walks near by. I enjoyed putting seed out for the birds. The cockatoo’s and rosellas are beautiful!!
Excellent Stay with Everything we needed and more!!
Everything we needed was provided and some extra goodies which were greatly appreciated! Feeding the birds in the morning was a great experience and the whole experience was great! House was so warm from the wood heater and we all had a great stay! Thanks for everything :)
Lovely quiet setting a short drive from Blackwood. Property was immaculately presented with a very comfortable bed. Loved my stay.

About the host
Hosted by Margaret Ramsay
Hi I am semi retired carpenter who loves the bush and animals. Horses , dogs, cows chooks etc entertain my days and keep me mighty fit. Most days are spent working on my bush block gradually improving it and working the horses. Before I left to live in WA for awhile my bush block ran Misty Mountain Medicinal Herbs specialising in Biodynamic Ginseng. Life is always full of challenges and entertainment in the bush.
Why they chose this property
When I returned from WA in the mining industry I bought this lovely cottage to live in while I brought back my bush block. The property caught my eye with the lovely big windows that bring in the bush and keep out the cold. Even the garden had been landscaped in a simple but very pleasing arrangement that allowed to really relax at the end of the day. Often the simpler things are the easier it is to escape from the rush and bustle of the city. When I am too old to do what I do now I will retire to this lovely cottage and relax.
What makes this property unique
In the evenings it becomes very quiet which allows you to take in all the little creatures sounds and activities. If you enjoy a walk the bush is so relaxing and allows the dog a chance to explore and have fun.
