GUEST ACCESS:
Access is for paying guests exclusively. While it's ok for guests to have friends visiting during the day, please do let us know beforehand as this is a private property. Paying guests are welcome to go for walks around the property, up the hill and around the vineyard. There is a nice nature path that leads to Williamstown, it's at our back fence up the hill, accessible via two gates from our property (ask us for directions if you can't find the gates).
SAFETY:
Please keep within clearly defined paths. Please wear comfortable fully enclosed shoes. We maintain the bush areas regularly, but like with any bushwalk - be mindful of tripping hazards like fallen branches.
Three beehives are on the property - the bees are hard at work, not interested in humans and unlikely to cause any annoyance - "bee" aware of their presence, observe their fascinating dances around the plants, while respecting their guarded territory - the beehives.
Being a rural property, you may notice insects around - ants, millipedes, earwigs, flies etc. There are screens on the windows that open but not on the doors - for accessibility reasons. We've provided insect spray for you.
We're on a tourist route - please take care entering and exiting the property as the entrance is on a bend with low visibility.

We live in a separate house approx 50m away, at the front of the property. You may see us around, working in the gardens and in the vineyard. We respect your privacy and protect your peace and quiet. Just let us know if you need anything during your stay.
