The photos don’t do this place justice. We stayed at both Cascadia and Bankside Cottages. The location next to the river, nestled in the bush is so serene. There are many wonderful hidden gems to explore. The cottages are cosy with special touches everywhere you look, with beautiful flowers everywhere. There are books, games and night gazing binoculars. The most accommodating hosts.
We felt so grateful to be able to spend time there as a family.
