Wonderful setting. Bed was super comfortable. We enjoyed and fully utilized the outside kitchen, shower and bath. The bath especially was a highlight; hot bath under the stars. Generous supply of goodies as well

This property is for bird and nature lovers. It is a cosy little sleep-out overlooking the Grehan valley. Bird song will welcome your morning. The warm room is situated in the garden above the main house and is private. All you need for a private getaway in nature. The room is a charming cabin set in the garden with a wonderful valley view. The room has a double bed. It has an outdoor shower which also has a view. And a compost toilet. This is a rural setting and there is no car traffic noise. It is a short walk up the hill through the garden from where you park. The outdoor kitchen has utensils, crockery, a gas cooker, pots and a fry pan. It has a toaster, a fridge and an electric kettle.
Hi I'm Hollie holiday! I love to travel and explore new places, especially budget places, like South East Asia. I enjoy being in my garden and I love the birds.
This is a rural setting with wonderful neighbour's. There are many walks in the area and we are in the heart of walking tracks.
