Excellent. Kids (1.5 and 4 years old) enjoyed seeing chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows, using toys and tricycles. Adults appreciated clean spacious facility. Host was very friendly and welcoming. Very convenient to international airport (15 minutes).
Amazing place Beautiful living space Along with very close location to nearby beaches, dining, and playgrounds for kiddos. Our kids loved seeing all the turkeys, pigs/piglets, cows , chickens etc. definitely would stay again and again and again
We really enjoyed our stay. The decor was adorable and though we didnât have kids or pets with us, this place catered to them! We came in for a wedding and when I asked if there was an iron Tess was quick to offer hers. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area.
We enjoyed staying here its in a great location just out of Sidney but close to shops, the beach and the airport. Tess was great at communicating and went out of her way for us. The decking patio area with the barbeque is perfect. Thank you
This property was the perfect place for us to rest our bones after a very long travel day! We did takeout dinner and breakfast and just lazed around. Clean and comfy, nice and cozy - you will love it!
We will definitely will be back. Such a lovely place to be with your family and dogs đ¶ also a great host. Thank you so much for beautiful stay, we enjoyed it all.
Our family of 5 (myself, partner and child plus my parents) really enjoyed our week at the Country Retreat. The guesthouse is very bright and clean, with ample space to cook, eat and relax. Very well stocked kitchen. Highlights: feeding the compost to the chickens, hunting for lizards on the rocks, petting Buster the cat, enjoying the gorgeous scenery on the farm. Beaches and Sidney are a short drive, as is the lovely Horth Hill for trails and friendly hikers. Victoria is close enough for a day trip. Also, both the ferry and the airport are nearby, which made for easy travel.Hosts were extremely kind and friendly. Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful one night stay at Tessâs very lovely farm! We had our children with us, and Tess was so warm and welcoming. We loved meeting all the farm animals. The guesthouse was had every thing we needed and we are so grateful for all the childrenâs books and games that were so thoughtfully added! This is a really wonderful place to bring your family! We hope to be back again! Thank you to Tess and her family for having us!
This is a very nice place and the host is super helpful and kind. Need to take the kids to play? A park like a 3 minute drive. Walk to the beach? A nice 15 minute walk where you will probably spot some deer. Need some supplies? A short drive into town (8minutes). I was super impressed with how clean everything was and how well stocked the kitchen was with spices and other cooking essentials. It was great to have a peaceful getaway. Thanks again for everything Tess!
I booked this property for 7 family members who were coming to town for a family function. They were very happy with their stay. The property is gorgeous, the hosts are very easy to communicate with. The suite was very clean, all beds were comfortable and everyone reported a good night sleep. Location is very close to both the ferry terminal and the airport. Close to Sidney, which they loved. Would recommend for sure!
Very nice barn house and people. Tidy and clean rooms. Beautiful farm view and lovely animals. There is even a picnic basket ready for you. Most important thing - pet friendly - our dog loves here. It is not far from Sydney and the sea side, pretty convinient for grocery. My family and friends enjoyed the stay here.
This accomodation is very private located in a separate building. It is very comfortable and many extras are provided. It has a complete kitchen with nearly everything needed for an extended stay. It is delightful in its farm setting, and close to Sydney as well as Victoria. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.
We really enjoyed our time here. Beds were comfy and linens were lovely. Lots of added touches, such as dog amenities, extra toothbrushes, coffee and cream, etc.
it was very cozy and comfortable.
Thanks so much!
Loved the stay. Tess thought of everything. The space is light and airy, big and comfortable. The vintage turkeys amusing with their gobbles. The willow tree in the inlet was so sweet and we enjoyed the sound of the rain on the metal roof.
It was fun staying on a working farm and the animals were just great and no problem whatsoever. We really made good use of both the clothes washer and dishwasher, very handy.
