Please note that the cabin is usually set up for 2 people. We can add 2 children or one adult via the sofa bed.
More accommodation options available so let us know if you need more space or something different.
Step into another world: You will be on 32 acres of stunning native bush, hills and pasture. We have very friendly alpacas, chickens, ducks and a dog. We have GLOW WORMS, several beautiful walking tracks and a couple of crystal clear creeks as well as diverse and plentiful wildlife....not to mention lots and lots of peace and quiet. We only host one group at a time to ensure real relaxation.
A few meters away you have access to the historic Kill Devil Walking and Mountain Biking Track. Excellent for those looking for a large or small challenge.
For those who want to interact with the alpacas and ducks, you're welcome to join us for a walk or feeding.
We're a 20 minute drive to the supermarket so stock up before arriving.
Some folks prefer not to cross our Ford so we’re happy to transfer you and your gear as needed.
Thanks :)
This property is like a little world of it’s own…
Keep in mind that we have other accommodation options in case this cabin is not adequate for your needs.
