A paradise for lovers of food, wine and nature where the hospitality is legendary

At dusk or early morning dozens of kangaroos come out of the bush to drink at the waterholes and native bird life abounds.

Accomodation is in comfortable chalet style cottages and luxury suites, all with private facilities, outdoor balconies and superb views of the surrounding typically Australian countryside.

There is a first class Restaurant, Conference Centre and extensive outdoor living area with pool, spas, tennis etc.

Bicycle hire, horse riding, wagon rides and golf are nearby and many guests enjoy bushwalking in the adjoining state forest plus many other activities and local events.
