Summary: Even the way to the place, the views, remoteness was great. 2 days without technology, we could unwind and rest. There was a lot to see inside the house and outside as well. Thank you, we had everything we needed.

Summary: The woolshed is in a beautiful quiet location 9.2 km up the Blue Duck Valley Road, surrounded by towering hills and native bush. The furniture is lovely. Plenty to look at, including quirky collections of woolshed memorabilia, bottles and matchboxes. Very helpful host.

Summary: Great location in the hills, surrounded by bush, birds and wild deer. The old woolshed has been converted well for a getaway destination. It's a bit rustic but that adds to the charm.
