Dormir dans un tipi était une expérience rigolote et très appréciée des enfants. Nourrir les animaux au petit matin avec explication des habitudes de chacun était vraiment génial. Très bon moment hors des sentiers battus

"Excellent family destination."

10.0

My family loved it. The staff were so friendly. Feeding the animals was lots of fun. The accommodation was so quirky and comfortable.

There was nothing we didn't like. However, when we come again we may bring our own breakfast supplies.

"Love the truck but a bit misleading"

8.0

The bbq and outdoor kitchen was awesome, the bed comfy, the shower was good and the animal feeding really fun. Loved meeting the llamas, alpacas, pigs, ducks, deer and the chooks in the quirky hen house. Jamie was lovely and a joy to meet too.

We found Kevin quite condescending and he charged us an extra fee for paying by card upon check-in so expect to pay more than the price quoted on Booking.com. When we asked him simple questions he kept saying "read the house manual" rather than give us the simple answer. The photos online are quite false. They show the truck and wagon in the middle of a field but most accommodation options are very close to each other. The photos also show donkeys whom I was hoping to meet but there are no donkeys on the property.
