I had the privilege to stay at this beautifully renovated Church. So much to do and see the Food trails Attractions and scenery are spectacular. You can snuggle in front of the fireplace with an amazing choice of books to pick from. Eclectic art pieces throughout will delight your inner child. Don’t forget to wander the large garden areas and keep your eyes peeled within the beautiful trees and surroundings for the koalas. The hosts have put such tremendous effort and thought into every aspect of your stay and you can feel it upon entry. Tranquillity! Cannot wait to return for a longer stay.
