RELAX IN COMFORT

We love having different bedding in our rooms. One of our current  bedding has been designed by Aboriginal sports women and contemporary artist Ashleigh Gardner. This range embodies the relationship the aboriginal community has to the land and her people. The range is called ‘Turtle’ and celebrates the Australian turtle migration which occurs every year.

There are tables and chairs positioned around the garden and next to the BBQs for the enjoyment of all guests. We offer a total of five barbeques to our guests to ensure there are enough cooking spaces for all guests in our warmer months. Areas to prepare food are also allocated.

We have a large back garden with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy that backs directly onto the Canyon Walk and the Oven River.  In the summer months we have fresh plums and figs available for our fruit trees. Our downstairs riverview rooms have two seater tables and chairs on their balcony directly outside their room, the additional tables in the garden are for the enjoyment of everyone. We have provided additional bench seating, picnic tables and umbrellas which are perfect for outdoor dining. We encourage all our guests to use the most of our backyard, it’s a wonderful place to chill out with a cold beverage or a hot cuppa and a good book!

Family Pool

We have a great size pool for bigger kids and adults to cool off from the heat of the day and a smaller kiddies pool which is wonderful for the smaller family members. Our kiddies pool is covered by a sail shade, and we also have seating available underneath for family members to sit, relax and watch. Our pool will be open from early December until late March and we close this to our guests at 10pm. Don’t forget to bring a pool towel from home!

In House Seasonal Dining

In the colder months our dining room will be open to travellers who are looking for a good old home style cooked dinner.  Whether it is pork ribs, pasta, curries, roast or nacho’s, we will let our guests know when they book so that they can decide if they want to dine in house during their stay.  We are even growing our own pumpkins for soup!
