Accommodation Options and Pricing

Below are the various accommodation options.   There are five rooms in the main house plus two self-contained cabins. 

MAIN HOUSE ACCOMMODATION 

  • Two rooms upstairs, with ensuite – Two single beds. These are the best rooms if you want to share with a partner and have a private bathroom. Southeast Rooms has bathroom in the bedroom. Northeast room as own bathroom but it’s outside bedroom through another door. 
  • One room upstairs, two single beds with shared bathroom.
  • Two rooms downstairs, shared bathroom – two single beds.

GORGEOUS CABINS 

We have two fully self-contained cabins located on the property, walking distance to the main house and with parking outside the cabin.  These cabins have a double bed and a queen bed, bathroom, kitchenette and verandah. Usually sleeps two people, however if you have a third friend and happy to share a double bed you can triple share the cabins.  You can drive to your cabin and park the car out front, making it easy to unpack.  You can also drive back up to the main house.

If you are interested in sharing a room with your friend/partner, please select Twin share so that you are both booked in at the same time so that we don’t allocate someone else to share with you.

If you are coming solo, we’ll pair you up to share with someone.  

GLAMPING TENTS

There are three stunning Belle Tents located on the property with an outdoor firepit and it’s own camping kitchen with filtered water, tea and coffee facilities. Each glamping tent has two double beds and their own dedicated bathroom.  They are extreme luxury when it comes to camping.  These tents are off grid so there are no power points.  However there are USB chargers and solar powered lights.  Torches provided too.  The tents are located away from the house and parking is available at the tents so you can unpack easily and drive up to the main house for activities and meals.  

PAYMENT PLANS

We offer payment plans, so simply click on the room you’d like to book and select Payment Plan. We’ll then be in touch to confirm your direct debits and dates.  Paying up front will give you a discount – click on below room options to compare pricing for up front and payment plans.
