Time for a refill! We’re usually entirely self-sufficient with our rainwater tanks, but an unfortunate mishap (a guest’s child playing with outside taps) meant we’re calling on D & H Morris Water Cartage to save the day! (Sorry your truck got bogged, Dave - the driveway isn’t usually this wet!)

Dam is looking nice and full (of yabbies!).

We’ve just opened up a last minute booking for this weekend! School holidays aren’t quite over so if your kids like climbing trees as much as ours do (they call this one the “pirate ship tree”), get in quick… and definitely pack your gumboots!

Usually a photo from this angle would show only grass, but the constant rain of the last few days has caused the dam to overflow and our new river is deeper than our gumboots!

Golden hour dam reflections. So peaceful, except for the kookaburras and magpies and cockatoos and pobblebonk frogs, and the occasional distant chainsaw.

It’s pretty difficult to get a weekend booking at short notice but we’ve just had a cancellation so the cottage is now available this Thursday-Sunday. Come relax with these chill dudes! 🦘

A little lick of paint never hurt nobody! (Don’t worry, we’ll oil the deck next. And paint the other side. And carpet the bedrooms. And build a fire pit. The to-do list never gets any shorter!)

This lovely little cottage on a hill is sadly sitting empty while Melbourne’s lockdown has been extended, but that does mean there are now opportunities for our regional friends to book a stay. This weekend, in fact!
