    Lizzi was just amazing in every way. She was so thoughtful and kind, making me feel much at home. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The accommodation felt like 'home away from home', with everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Company information

We purchased this property in August 2018 and started renovations on the outbuildings. We opened for business in August 2019. We got our rescue donkeys in November 2018 and then came our chickens and finally our goats. Our units are almost 100% up-cycled and we have a full Eco Solar Power system with gas geysers. We try to live off grid as much as possible. We live on the property and have 5 rescue dogs. We so look forward to welcoming you to our unique lofts
