    Excellent accommodation with a stunning view - so peaceful and relaxing and the shower was to die for. So much better than staying in town and well worth the short drive out to Mt Barker Farmstay. A perfect base for daytrips around the region - thank you our lovely host, we appreciated the beautiful environment and quiet downtime.
