I loved the peaceful feel of being at a farm - a grove of pecan trees to wander in, led by a friendly cat, and a little lemon tree just outside my room. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. At the restaurant, I got the best pecan tart I ever ate. Pomegranate juice for breakfast!

Great accommodation. Not in main 4 room house but in single storey building. Deluxe, spacious rooms with individual outside large porch. Wonderful restaurant!

The main 4 room accommodation building is close to the main road. I would suggest the suites where we stayed closer to Reception. Just fabulous.
