Mark and Jen welcome you to enjoy a home away from home stay. We have tried to create a comfortable homely atmosphere for all our guests. Mark works from home and does all the gardening, Jen works part time as a support, care giver to the elderly in the community to assist them to remain in their own homes. The best thing about being a host is the variety of guests that come to stay and hearing about where they are from and have been. Strangers are friends we have not yet met. Those strangers are the guests we have yet to host.

Our Hideaway is set back from the road making it very quiet and peaceful, with the feeling of being in the country yet only 800m from the towns Main Street.
