Guest access
The farm buildings are free space to all guests to enjoy. Also the immediate maintained grounds adjoining the buildings. We ask that guests please stay out of the fenced paddocks as there may be livestock grazing. Please never open locked gates and not shut. Thank you.

Other things to note
Please bring a comfy pair of slippers along with your belongings to wear on the new carpets and polished timber floors as rocks and soil may scratch and stain our perfect finishes.
Also please carry your luggage in from outside. As the wheels pick up small rocks that will scratch the tiled entrances and Hardwood floors. Thank you.
