There are 8 dams scattered around the property, 2 of which are stocked with Cod and Yellowbelly, and seasonal a creek at the rear of the property. Even through the worst drought in known history, there was still plenty of water due to the dams holding capacity.

Both cottages have been rented out on Airbnb, and are very popular with the city folk holidaying whilst exploring the area and enjoying the many wineries in the area. The heart felt messages and 5-star reviews speak highly of the quality and tranquil vibe of the place.
