Company information

We are excited to have purchased the property in April 2016. Sharon comes from a background in finance and John owns several other businesses as well. Both have travelled extensively, domestically and overseas and wish to extend to our guests the sort of warm welcome and experience that we ourselves seek when travelling. It would be a pleasure to share our home with you (Oscar the 14 and a half year old Jack Russell completes the family) and have you experience all that this wonderful area has to offer. A real thrill was winning the 'Emerging B & B of the Year" at the B & B Association Conference awards in 2018.
