Our recent visit with a group of friends was a great experience and we had a very enjoyable long weekend. From the beginning, Fiona's communication and information was excellent, and when we needed to make changes she was very accomdating and then due to our group size ensured we had the property all to ourselves. She also advised in advance the Dam may not have had water in it, but luckily it did and with a warm weekend the kids (and some adults!) spent many hours playing and relaxing in the Dam. To top if off, Fiona brought a massive home baked Apple Crumble over to our camp one evening that was enough to feed all of our large group. The location and setting is great, plenty of trees and massive numbers of Black cockatoos flying overs so a very peaceful, relaxing spot - highly recommend!
