We pride ourselves on being a GridFree, eco-friendly, self-sufficient farmstay accommodation. Our source of power for both houses is driven by solar. The cottage is surrounded by native trees that Biddy and Rich have planted. Seed has been collected from Stubbs farm, nurtured and planted back into it’s natural environment for future generations to enjoy.
Walk the Misty mountain track 1hr15mins or Rocks track 30mins that takes you though part of the 800 acre QE11 bush reserve on Stubbs farm. Biddy and Rich cut these tracks with daughters Hazel and Fern during lockdown 2020.
