"We loved our stay, such a beautiful and tranquil spot, we enjoyed sitting on the veranda enjoying the view and the animals. Great value for money. The kitchen was well set up and we all want to return again soon."

"Good location and amenities. Shower hot water was a bit weak and inconsistent"

"We had an amazing weekend stay! With 12 adults and 8 kids, the place never felt crowded and had plenty of space for everyone to relax. The kitchen was fantastic and well-equipped, making group meals easy. The pool was a highlight, and the kids especially loved feeding the fish and ducks. Mike and Christine were wonderful hosts - friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend!"

"The Berrico stay was one of my absolute favourites. A perfectly quiet, secluded farm stay which is what the soul needs sometimes! The little cabin was modern and very comfy. A great bed and shower!We loved sitting around the fire pit each afternoon looking out towards the hills. Alan and Eva were the most friendly and accomodating hosts, who took us on a ATV tour of the whole property, giving insight into the surrounding area and how they run their farm. It became more an experience rather than just a stay. I have to note, we never felt pressured to have lots of comms with the hosts, they were super respectful of space but were open to having a chat and showing us around. True country hospitality and we will be returning! Thank you for a great stay. :) "

"Rundown,rubbish everywhere, first room offered smelt. Pool empty and rundown. At reception greeted by shuffling, man clad in a food stained singlet advertised photos were 10 years out of date and gave us false impression. We had paid online, but found another motel $20 cheaper which was clean, spacious. It was worth having to pay twice. "

"Our host was very welcoming and the studio was very private, comfortable and had everything that we needed for a relaxing few days."

"all good "

"The place appeared dusty and not clean to the standard I would expect for that cost. There were several cobwebs inside containing spiders especially on the bedposts"

"I would have stayed a week if I could have! More time to enjoy more cups of tea on the deck with the sound of birdsong and the gently flowing river below. This place is idyllic. Feels like the most secluded, peaceful place, but 5 minutes drive from the nearest pub or bakery. The owners were helpfully responsive to my email enquiry before our stay, but left us alone to enjoy the experience when we were there. The cottages are well away from the house and the garden is designed so that the cottages are fairly private from each other. "
