Awesome get away, no luxury, but amazing.
This is definitely the most rustic place we have ever stayed - as close to camping as we'll get on this journey of ours. It is probably the most memorable too - we absolutely loved it!
We were supposed to stay in The Owl's Nook but were 'upgraded' to The Fish Eagle's Lair - a double storey wooden structure with tent flaps as walls.
There are two bedrooms - upstairs has a double bed and an amazing view of what used to be the dam but is now a green meadow where farm animals feed. Downstairs another bedroom with a double bed and bathroom, kitchen area, fireplace and two single beds.
The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and amazingly peaceful. All you will hear is the occasional moo from a cow, the birds and at night, just the insects. We slept like angels with the tenant flaps rolled up and the cool breeze flowing through the room - it was bliss!
We had lots of fun waiting for the kettle to boil (it takes about 20 minutes on the gas stove), sitting in the sun looking at the birds (there are loads of them on the fields), taking walks where the dam used to be and adding wood to the fire (both inside and outside - to heat the geyser).
This really is a magical little place and the ideal spot to go to when you want to forget about all the daily stresses of modern life. (We stayed in September 2015)
Quiet break away from the rat race.
