Feed/meet the animals + property tour
If you would like a guided tour of our wee property and to meet, feed and learn about the animals, we are happy to provide this service. It is $40 for you/your group and this takes around 30 minutes. You are also welcome though to explore the property and meet the animals for free in your own time during your stay. 

Brazier experience
Enjoy a relaxed evening around the brazier with everything provided for a cozy outdoor fire. We supply the brazier, firewood, kindling, firelighters, matches, as well as roasting sticks for marshmallows (bring your own marshmallows) for a classic fireside treat. This is $40 per stay.

Car interior tidy
Head home with a cleaner car! We offer a simple car tidy during your stay. This is a home clean rather than a professional detail. Includes: removing rubbish, vacuuming carpets and seats, wiping down interior surfaces, and cleaning windows inside and out. Please note this service does not include stain removal or a full exterior wash. This option is $40 per vehicle for a 30 minute clean, subject to availability.

Cycle the Heritage Trail
Our cottage is literally ON the heritage cycle trail! We have a few bikes for small adults that you can use, but of course if you have your own bring those along too, plenty of space to store them so you don't have to leave them in the car! Bike usage is free. We have a variety of children's bikes too, please let us know the age of your child/ren and we will do our best to ensure the bikes are at the cottage ready to go.
