Ruth and Rob's home in the Hunter Valley is the perfect home base for exploring the many wineries in the Hunter Valley wine region. Beyond that, though, their home is a totally unique get away for rest and relaxation, bird watching, and appreciation of nature. Their home was comfortable, quirky, and totally welcoming. Ruth put together an excellent itinerary for wine tasting and guided us on a private tour of the Hunter Valley. We were thrilled to hang out with her all day and enjoyed her company on the tour. She is truly a delight. :) From their expansive back deck we watched the sunset over the mountains and enjoyed visits from sulfur-crested cockatoos and king parrots! If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable get away from the hustle and bustle of Sydney you can't ask for a better spot than Rob and Ruth's beautiful home.
KatieJanuary 2017We had a great weekend, thanks for hosting us!
JyotiDecember 2016Such a beautiful place to stay. Stunning scenery, fun and quirky house. Wonderful hosts. Ruth was incredibly organised and helpful when planning our trip. I can't wait to stay again.
ShannonSeptember 2016stayed for a weekend and had an absolutely magical time. Ruth and bob are extremely accomodating and friendly. Entertaining deck and quirky house is one of a kind. Will definitely be back!
AlexApril 2016What a fantastic getaway! Myself and my partner together with 3 friends had the absolute pleasure of visiting Ruth's and Rob's beautiful home. I can not get out of my head the first morning when we woke up and saw the mountains covered in mist straight from the bed... Because of the pictures our expectations were high, but the feel and atmosphere were even better than we could have ever imagined! Ruth and Rob were so much fun and very helpful in getting the fires started. For all coming - don't forget to stop on the way in the fruit and veggie shop for some fresh, locally grown produce! The oven is huge, made for some nice roasts - and together with local wine will be all you need for whole weekend. Cheers, Nina & James
NinaJune 2015The house was amazing with breathtaking view....we felt like in heaven and didnt wonna leave it. We had a fantastic time there as family. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with us. And this house was "telling" a lot of his special own stories.....that was very interesting" A lot of magic was there
christineSeptember 2015I can't recommend this property enough! As soon as we got there, Ruth showed us through the whole house, told us everything we needed to know and was so helpful in every way! Waking up everyday to that view was breath taking and the herb garden was a gem! I'm telling all my friends!!
JamesJanuary 2016Our time at Walkers Run was simply too short. What we expected to be a girls weekend turned out to be one of the most entertaining and enchanting holidays we've had. Ruth was fantastic as the host, making sure everything was well explained and ran smoothly. It is certainly a hidden gem and one that will be revisited.

Amazing amazing stay with Dinah and this styled boutique lives up to its reputation. Beautiful quaint building and surrounds are truly beautiful! It was the perfect retreat after Christmas and NYE to unwind and recharge before the new year ahead! Dinah makes sure that all your needs are looked after and helps with fresh produce where possible... the eggs were amazing! Highly recommend this property if you're looking to get away from it all in the country but still have the awesome beaches of the central coast nearby. The symphony of noises from the the frogs and night creatures is amazing! Beautiful place
SimonJanuary 2015A really enjoyable stay. Exactly what we were looking for and more. A great place to escape from the city without the having to drive for hours. Perfect for a private romantic getaway.
ChrisOctober 2016A cute cottage in a beautiful part of the world. The bed had a gap in the middle, which was uncomfortable and painful, however should be an easy fix. The hot water also didn't work in the morning, which was frustrating. Overall, a nice place but very basic and not worth the price.
KarlDecember 2015Great location with a lot of space no charge for late checkout. Really enjoy and recommend Thanks
RoyOctober 2015I had a great weekend, the Dinah was friendly and helpful, and would recommend this to anybody looking for a weekend away
RayJune 2016The cottage is quant and the setting is lovely. Perfect for a couple looking to unwind. Dinah was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Jazz the horse very friendly as well!
ToryJanuary 2016The Little Glen cottage was the perfect weekend away, all the animals were so friendly and cute! Especially Jazz, who was so patient with my dogs. Dinah was a lovely host who provided everything, even some local eggs. We throughly enjoyed our time there.
NicoleAugust 2015The cabin was a super lovely place to stay for the weekend. Very special, secluded, quiet and in a beautiful area of the Central Coast. Dinah helped us with directions when we got there and she was very respectful of ours privacy during our stay. The little fireplace in the garden under the open sky was a plus. Highly recommended for a romantic gateway!

Absolutely beautiful !!! The house had such charm. Everything was as described. Loved it !!!!
RayleneOctober 2016Pete and Claire's place in Little Jilliby was beautiful! We loved spending the weekend sitting around the fires, using the walking tracks and just relaxing! Being pet friendly, our dogs loved being able to run themselves crazy around the land! Will most definitely book again in the future!
RebekahJuly 2016Had a lovely family weekend getaway at Little Jilliby! The house accommodated our group of eight very comfortably. The kitchen is a dream, spacious and has everything you need to cook meals. There's a pretty spot in the sunshine to sit and look out over the cows & horses in the valley, or it's a nice area to walk around country roads if you're feeling more active. It was lovely having a fire in the evenings too. There aren't shops in walking distance (only a ten min drive though) so just pick up your supplies on the way and you won't want to leave. Communication from Claire and Pete was excellent. Highly recommend!
CarolineAugust 2016We had a lovely weekend getaway at Jilliby Farm homestead. It is quiet and remote away from the hustle n bustle. The house is spacious and well equipped. Pete and Claire were very quick to respond and accommodating of us. The fireplaces and spa are great in winter!
AaronAugust 2016Little Jilliby Farm is a lovely house in a beautiful and peaceful surrounding, perfect for a quiet get-away but at the same time close to popular attractions. The house is lovely and very spacious and my friends and I had a nice and relaxing weekend away. Claire and Pete were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. We were at the house during winter so it got a little cold, especially in the kitchen and the bedrooms (even though we used the fire places) so it is a good idea to pack some warm socks and jumpers :-) Even though we did not use the nice garden and the outside dining area I can imagine that this place would also be nice to stay at during the warmer months. Thank you, Claire and Pete, for the lovely time we had at your place.
DanielaJuly 2016Great place to just chill and unwind. We had a group of 8-10 over the weekend and the place was roomy with plenty of good spaces inside and outside to relax in. Would happily stay here again. Thanks Pete and Claire for being such good hosts.
AndrewFebruary 2017Claire and Pete are great hosts.. Always replying within a few minutes and accomodating to your needs. Location, house and property is beautiful and would recommend to anyone.
leightonSeptember 2016The house was wonderful and perfect for a weekend away. The 3 fires made it cosy, and there was lots of rooms and space. The outdoor area was also another great area to spend time. If you have some children coming along the cubby house gave hours of amusement.

A great place to relax and unwind without any distractions.
kellyAugust 2016Dawn was a excellent host. We were greeted as we followed Dawn instructions into her farm. From the moment you drive down the tree lined drive way your made to feel very at home. The heating was thoughtful left on by Dawn as we entered we was a blessing. Very comfortable bed, tea and coffee options plus a stocked cupboard and fridge for breakfast was much more then what we could have asked for. Thank you Dawn :)
DanielJune 2016Dawn's cottage is great! Lovely layout, huge grounds and plenty of thoughtfully added items (especially breakfast)! Dawn is a great host and we would return in an instant!
AdamJanuary 2016Dawn was an amazing host. She greeted us with her beautiful grand-daughter and told us all about her property. The cottage was immaculately clean with all the amenities of your own home. Dawn even provided us with Eggs, Bacon, Bread, Snacks, Milk, Cereal, Juice, Marshmallows, Coffee, Tea and even a deck of playing cards. Dawn's property is as picturesque as any place I have been. The figtree allowed us to capture some amazing photos, we played tennis on the tennis court and walked down the driveway and back multiple times. Thank you for being such an amazing host.
NickolasApril 2016Figtree Cottage is a wonderful little retreat in which my husband, baby and I had such a wonderful stay! 3 nights felt like a week!! The setting is so beautiful, very picturesque and peaceful. The cottage has everything you need and Dawn was super helpful and very generous in providing breakfast items and pantry staples. We loved going for walks along the tree-lined driveway and feeding the friendly horses and cows. We loved every aspect of our stay and hope to return.
PipJanuary 2016Fig tree cottage was a fantastic escape! Accommodation and facilities were great and couldn't be in a better location! While you feel completely tucked away in the serenity that 52 acres provides, you are only a 15 minute drive to the beach, a 10 minute drive to the shops and 40 minute drive to the Hunter Calley region. Dawn and her family are extremely lovely and helpful and so accommodating for whatever the purpose of your stay may be. We had a fantastic time exploring the property and visiting the horses and cows even! Highly recommend this place! It was fantastic!! Thanks so much Dawn - Kieran and I will definitely be coming back soon!
ChiaraDecember 2015Dawn made us feel very welcome and the cottage was clean and tidy - as shown in the pics.
PeterJuly 2016What a wonderful experience! This place is really a gem of a retreat. The cottage itself was beautifully styled and fully equipped with everything you could possibly imagine. We enjoyed having our dinner on the deck overlooking the sunset on the farm, and our breakfast on a rustic old table beside a fountain. We had a glorious walk underneath tree-lined pathways; played tennis; and met the horses and cows. Dawn was so lovely and our 24 hour retreat felt like a week. We are definitely coming back!

We had a lovely quiet stay at Beulah Ranch. The view is stunning and the hospitality warm.
ShirleyNovember 2016Dawn and Greg were lovely!! The ranch was absolutely stunning, the view was flawless. And Sammy the dog made us feel very welcome. The horses were adorable. The beds were super comfy. Basically everything was perfect. Will definitely return if Dawn, Greg and Sammy will have us again :)
sameenOctober 2015Great accommodation in a beautiful location. It was wonderful to wake up for sunrise to see fog enveloping the valley. The dogs were very friendly and we had fun playing with them too.
FavelApril 2016This was our 2nd visit and we were made just as welcome this time around as the first time. So thank you Dawn & Greg. Home from home comes to mind!
SueNovember 2015Greg & Dawn were awesome! So nice and hospitable. We forgot oil and veggies, they gave us loads. Perfect accommodation for what we needed with a 7 month old. Would love to go back. Highly recommend!
ChrisJune 2015A lovely stay. Dawn and Greg are perfect hosts. Comfy bed, lots of games, complimentary breakfast and easy access to great amenities including horse riding. We slept like babies in the peace and quiet and felt spoilt yet our privacy was respected.
CocoApril 2015LOVE THIS PLACE! We wanted a lovely stress free time away from the city with some nature, no pushing and shoving, zero shouting and some bushwalking. From the moment the booking dropped Dawn was amazing at directions, super clear and only a little over an hour to get there. Greg gave us the guided tour, and said they have some animals we can go and see if we wanted but not to feel bad if you didn't want to play. We both love animals and we had a dog, a tiny horse AND three big horses to play with all weekend! It was amazing, Sam the dog showed us all the walks while we threw sticks for him, and Buddy the miniature horse got a lot of attention too. Greg and Dawn have created an amazing place here, so beautiful and with the most amazing backstory that you can only get out of them if you ask. Both amazing hosts, left us to get on with it, in complete rest and peace in the middle of amazing country. If you want to see real country, real people and play with some of the coolest animals you have to see this place and meet Greg and Dawn!
KevanOctober 2015Great location with amazing views for a long lazy breakfast. Dawn was very welcoming, the place was just as described and the area was full of things to do. And not to forget Sammy, the resident dog who was a bundle of fun.

Coby is an amazing host, and her property is so beautiful! Everything was perfect and the house feels just like home. The toys in the kids room was a great touch for the little kids, and the arrival basket of goodies and fresh eggs was a great touch for the big kids! Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful area and greatly located to a local shop as well as a large shopping centre and other fun activities like the treetop adventure park. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home! We would love to come back and see your 3 cows again!!
CorrinaNovember 2016We had a lovely time at cobys place. It was great being able to bring our dog along, however she did need watching as the road is quite close. Very peaceful and clean house. As a winter retreat it would be lovely to have the fire going, it was high 30s during out stay, the ceiling fans worked well (no A/C) although the cool breeze in the evening was very much appreciated. The master bedroom upstairs is huge and comfortable, the little hand made soaps provided were a lovely personal touch and they smelt amazing. Getting to shelly beach was easy, The Esplanade was great for swimming with a little one. My niece loved the cows and trampoline at the property. All in all we had a fabulous time. Thank you kindly coby.
LauraJanuary 2017Coby and Trav's farm getaway is stunning. Basically brand new, so cosy and great for the kids! It gets hot inland in summer but ceiling fans keep you cool. Highly recommend the property and the owners!
NicoleJanuary 2017Ebenezer Cottage is an AMAZING get-away! Just a short drive from Sydney (1.5 hrs) to feel pure relaxation and peace. We were fortunate enough to have met Coby on the property upon our arrival and she graciously showed us the entire property. You will see Coby's attention to detail in the cottage and around the property, from the hand-made soaps, quality appliances & fixtures to the super comfy beds/linen. The cottage is tastefully decorated, super clean and includes some of her beautiful artwork. There are two showers and a gorgeous bathtub for a soothing soak (a bonus IMHO). Although we didn't stay in the barn we were thinking it would be a great place to host a wedding or yoga retreat. There is a large open lounge area in the middle with two floor-to-ceiling doors that fully open via remote to allow for further ambiance with the countryside backdrop. This large room also makes for a wonderful home theatre. The cottage is a great weekend away (or more if you are lucky) for either a couple or a family (we have 2 kids, 12 & 7 yr old). The kids LOVED the in-ground trampoline (behind the barn) and basketball hoop! It was wonderful to see the kids just "be kids" on the farm. The 4 cows were also a highlight (the 2 blk angus are expecting calves soon)! The property winds back to a national forest (access from the property) and a creek. There's a tyre swing in the way back for more fun! Be careful for snakes and be sure to wear the bug spray to keep ticks & other bugs away. There's a DVD player if you fancy a movie for yourself or the kids and there are toys for little ones in the room with double bunk beds. Don't panic, there is wifi if you are desperate to "connect". Not only is it's location wonderful as it's close to Sydney but it's only about 45 mins to the Hunter Valley where there are incredible wineries & great food. The cottage is close to Tree Tops Adventure Park (ropes course) and only about 8 mins drive to the nearest general store/petrol station. If you like to hike and/or mountain bike, this would be a great spot to stay as there are many trails to ride and explore. We hope to go back for some hiking, biking and more relaxation. We've stayed at similar properties (including a farm stay in Kangaroo Valley) and this is definitely one of the best! A very heart-felt "THANK YOU" to Coby (and her family) for sharing her incredible property with us!
RichardDecember 2016Coby's cottage was so neat, clean and sitting in such a pretty surrounding. Coby even came by to say hi and shown us the walking track behind the house. I really enjoy waking up early here, just sitting on the front porch breathing the fresh air and soaking in the mountain view. Really lovely place! Highly recommended.

Nicola! You'are a beautiful host. Thank you so very much for allowing us to stay in your house. It was a great last minute booking and so many unexpected delights. Your house is so cozy and my family had the best time. Your swimming pool was a huge huge bonus especially with our girls. Chilling at your expansive deck, slow breakfasts and long lunches. I've baked and cooked which I enjoyed so much in your amazing kitchen. That's such a luxury in itself. Thank you once again and we're very lucky to have found your house during the busiest Christmas time. Happiest New Year and hope we come and visit again soon. Best regards, Luisa

What a wonderful place to stay and relax. Elise was a wonderful host setting us up well for a great stay. The house and surrounds are beautiful and within easy travel of activities, beaches, Sydney and the Hunter. We would love stay longer than 5 days.
MelOctober 2016Amazing place in the middle of beautiful countryside to get away from it all. Great pool and outside barbecue area, excellent host and fantastic value for money!
MikeSeptember 2016Elise was a great host! We had a super relaxing and sunny weekend stay at her home. We enjoyed a smooth check-in process and the fridge was stocked with a few items as well. Elise was quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely come back again.
HollyNovember 2016Elise is a outstanding host and the property is really lovely. Elise communicated constantly and was very helpful. We arrived to fresh farm produce and a clean cosy set up with fresh towels, toiletries and all the amenities you need. The house is massive and pet friendly which is great, the pool is clean and well kept and the garden is peaceful and full of nature. We had a really lovely stay and you feel like you can really escape city life as its so quiet with no neighbours anywhere near close enough to hear. I loved our stay here and we will be returning, we have had great experiences with Airbnb but Elise made our stay memorable with her thoughtfulness. The house sleeps 8 and there is a great area for entertaining and play board games, the fire was stocked and there was lots of chopped wood outside if we ran out. Great stay, great home with history and love! Thanks!
NATALIESeptember 2016What an amazing holiday!! We stayed 5 days and could have doubled that easily. Elise is a great host, meeting us on arrival to welcome us and leaving some treats for the whole family! Kids spent a heap of time in the pool and feeding the horses, cat and fish. Will certainly be back!
EloiseOctober 2016Charming older house with fantastic pool area. Very homely, comfortable and relaxing. Short hop over to a huge westfield. House fully stocked. Prompt communication with Elise the host. Definitely recommended.
EMarch 2017Elise was a wonderful host, very friendly and helpful, and left us to it for our stay. The fridge and pantry were full of supplies, the house was very clean (we had four babies crawling about so we can attest that it was spotless!) and was even nicer than described. Was perfect for our four families (the bedrooms are spaced apart enough that the babies didn't even wake each other up!).

Our arrival times were a little unclear for her due to our reliance on the timing of events we were attending, but she was very accommodating and made it really easy for us when we arrived so late in the night. A lovely clean spacious room for my daughter and I with bathroom close to hand. Everything provided, water, snack bar etc. when we didn't have time for breaky. A fantastic place to stay and will be more than happy to do so again. Thanks Patricia.
KarenMarch 2017Trish and Greg gave me my partner a very warm welcome. After the initial greeting they showed us around their home where our room was and also gave us a cool drink, which was much appreciated after a hot day. Their home is situated on a beautiful property backing on to bushland and having a very quiet neighborhood surrounding with no sounds of traffic. The section of the house we stayed in was quiet and felt private. Would definitely come back and stay!
PeterDecember 2016Beautiful and quiet valley location close to Wyong and the rest of the coast. Trish is a wonderful and accommodating host
BradOctober 2016The host was lovely and made us very welcome. The place was lovely and immaculate. Just when you did not think an Airbnb could not be better than the last one, and we have stayed at some lovely ones, you come to this one. Nirvana! from the lovely room and private bathroom to the lovely set up, many thoughtful touches such as fresh cut fruit in the fridge to the selection of snacks in the basket, everything was just perfect. The host and her husband were lovely and very interesting and delightful to talk to. The house is in an exceptionally peaceful and very beautiful setting.

MaryDecember 2016Un grand merci pour ce séjour exactement comme on le souhaitait: proche de la nature et riche en enseignement au sujet du lieu: la permaculture, le nom des oiseaux, les belles marches et activités à faire, etc. On est entre la ferme, la montagne et la forêt, et même les différentes plages ne se trouvent qu'à quelques dizaines de minutes d'ici. Notre satisfaction lors de ce séjour a été très grande. Nous avons particulièrement aimé le petit déjeuner complet avec des produits sains et locaux. Je recommande les longs séjours (3 jours à une semaine) à la fois pour s'imprégner du lieu mais aussi pour effectuer toutes les activités possibles des environs. D'autant que le prix est abordable et la famille adorable!

Judy and Kevin were wonderful hosts. We felt like home since we met these people and settle at the cottage. Everything was as described. Pictures correspond to reality. Everything was clean and looked like new. Judy was easy to contact. She responded very quickly, literally during few hours. She provided her mobile number straight away. Very responsive to extra requests. She also provided information about a winery I was looking around, that I would recommend to visit as well on the way to Judy's place. It's called Firescreek Winery (URL HIDDEN) They produce fruit, berry and even flower award winning wines. The place itself is awesome as well as the owner, who served us during wine testing. The best thing according to my son's opinion was the pool! It was well maintained with crystal clear water. He also liked animals Judy and Kevin have. Among chickens and ducks there are also alpacas! Kevin was so generous bringing a week old chick to show to my son. The area is quite big, so you can spend some time walking around and study variety of trees the hosts planted as well as just enjoying a good view to the open hill and horse farms located nearby. The cottage itself is big enough to accommodate 4 adults. It is a one room with a queen bed and a sofa converted to a double bed. It has a good TV set, a microwave and an electric kettle. Everything was in good condition. BBQ was also available at verandah. The cottage is conveniently located at 5-7 min drive to Tuggerah train station, 5 min drive to local shops and 10-15 min drive to the Entrance. We had wonderful talks with Judy during our stay. She is really easy going person. Judy and Kevin seem really good people. Would definitely stay there next time I visit the Entrance area. Highly recommended.
AlexFebruary 2016We were attending a Wedding locally and Corona Cottage was perfect for our overnight stay. Judy was very welcoming and the room was very nice, clean and comfortable. We would definitely use this accommodation again and would recommend to anyone staying in this area

Would highly recommend staying here!

LynnApril 2016We had such a wonderful stop over at this delightful place! We were made to feel instantly at home by Judy and Bruce. Our two boys enjoyed holding the baby chickens and swimming in the pool. The little cottage was clean and our bed was very comfortable. We ate dinner sitting on the back deck looking out on all the animals and the view of the hills. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. Great for a stop over. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

MillieFebruary 2017Staying at Derek's place was great. He had a pool which was heated - would be really nice in winter. The bed was a double and it was comfortable with the option for a trundle to pull out if there was another friend staying. Derek was pleasant and helpful.

Jenny is such a nice host and made our stay comfortable and fun. Kids enjoyed the farm, car, and horse feeding, and also learned a lot from Jenny. We definitely would come back and recommend to our friends. I've also uploaded some photos to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Map.
JohnnyAugust 2016A wonderful farmstay with very friendly hosts. The house is beautifully presented with a cosy relaxed atmosphere. We got to experience first hand some of the daily life of a very special Arabian horse breeding stud in a picturesque landscape setting.
DougFebruary 2016Jenny is what makes this farmstay. The morning horse run was a delight for me and my husband and our kids. Jenny knows everything there is to know about horses and has genuine passion for the property and the animals. The pony rides were fantastic and a big hit with the kids.
RebeccaAugust 2016It was lovely to arrive here on a Friday afternoon, with nearby restaurant recommendations and horse noises all around. It's so close to Treetops rope park, a mountain bike course and the Maize Maze: there'd be plenty to do if we came back with our families. Comfortable house for 5.
AnnaMay 2016Great host, lovely property. My dogs had a nice time too :)
CameronFebruary 2016We had such a wonderful time at Jenny's property. We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the nearby Wyong Creek Hall so the horse farm was coveniently located accomodation. Although we booked the property simply based on the convenient location, the horse farm was one of the highlights of the wedkend! The farm is picturesque and the horses are delightful. Jenny made every effort to make our werkend special was even kind enough to drive us to our wedding ceremony! We bought our dog Smokey Joe along and he had a great time too. Also, Jenny offers her property as a wedding venue (which we didn't realise until we had already booked Wyong Creek Hall) but it would make a spectacular venue. We will visit again!
JodieOctober 2016Jenny was an amazing host! We stayed two nights and we loved it. We were two families (one with a 5 year old, the other with a baby). The cottage is basic but well equipped. The beds are comfy, the split system is powerful enough to heat the cottage and the kitchen has everything you need. The location is perfect, a mere 70 mins from North Sydney. It's perfect for a weekend away. The views and surrounds are so beautiful. There are lots of other things to do around the area (pelican feeding, amazement, the milk cafe just to name a few). My 5yr old son had a great time. He got to ride Missy the resident pony, got to feed the horses every day and got the opportunity to ride the quad bike. He did not want to leave! This place is highly recommended! We will be back!!
LigiaMay 2016What a beautiful place! We could have stayed forever! The cottage was cozy and had everything we could have needed. The farm was amazing! The kids had the best morning on the feed run, and even got a pony ride! Loved every minute of our stay, except when we had to leave... Can't wait to go back!

We had an amazing relaxing weekend away. The tranquility was unforgettable. Mangrove Creek Cottage is cute, comfortable and the indoor fire is just amazing. Clare made us feel very welcome and gave us alot of privacy. We will return for sure.
JasonAugust 2015Great stay, loved the coziness of the cottage. The kids loved interacting with the animals and taking a chance at fishing!
BenjamineAugust 2016Lovely couple of days away from the city
OrlaithJanuary 2016So exquisitely peaceful, and exactly what we needed. Lovely comfortable beds, air con that worked a treat, and beautiful animals that our children loved. The kayak was a hit with our 7 year old, and the mud was a hit with our 5 year old. Thank you for the eggs and having us stay!
VanessaJanuary 2016Great, quiet, private, peaceful retreat. It rained a lot during our visit so we weren't able to enjoy the rest of the property as much, but we still had a fantastic stay.
AmandaJuly 2016The farm was beautiful and had everything you needed. They had board games and torches already there. Had basic pantry need as well which helped a lot! Kids loved the chickens and vegetable patch. We fed the neighbors horses and got a close look at the alpacas. Beautiful escape!
JasminAugust 2015Good base for exploring nearby national parks for mountain biking. Cottage was cosy and didn't take long to heat up with reverse cycle A/C before getting the fire started (wood supplied). Basic necessities available in the kitchen for cooking (we brought our own pre-prepared meals and heated). Beds super cosy and warm. Bathroom clean and shower great, nice and hot! Didn't get to make use of/tour the farm but looked to be a great place for city families to enjoy a countryside escape.
SaraJuly 2016What an amazing and relaxing few days away. Enjoyed going to see the animals and collecting eggs in the morning for brekkie! The cottage was perfect and stayed nice and cosy with the fireplace. Clare and the family were absolutely lovely and accomodating. Would defenatley come back! Thank you thank youu

For those who love the San Juan River (and the only ones who don't are surely those who do not know its many charms), a new updated edition of Lisa Kearsley's river guide is now available for the start of the 2014 season.
The new edition contains information on an additional 19 miles of river, covering the reach between Montezuma Creek and the Sand Island put-in with maps and descriptions. As in previous editions, the river maps are constructed using USGS topographic base maps. But with the help of avid river runner Bryan Brown, Lisa reconfigured the position of the modern river channel on the maps. This will be useful for river runners in the wide valley portions of the river. The maps reflect the true position of the river based on Google Earth images taken in 2013.
A new chapter specific to the fossils of the San Juan River canyons has been added, written by long time river guide and paleontological enthusiast Christa Sadler . This new addition explains the various fossil forms seen in the Pennsylvanian age limestones. The guide also contains everything one needs to know about running the river; logistics, permit information, shuttle companies, archaeology, history and biology.
I have updated my chapter on the geology of the San Juan canyons. Inside you will find information about the rock layers, the cutting of the canyons, and the larger landscape elements upon which the river is found. My personal feeling is that the San Juan River region is one of the most spectacular parts of the Colorado Plateau. And even if you do not plan to run the river soon, you will want to add this impressive book to your Plateau collection.
One of the major improvements in this new edition is the widespread use of color in the photographs and diagrams. Here is an example of half of the two-page spread, showing the rock layers relative to the river. A color rendition of Ron Blakey's paleogeographic map of the Paradox Sea landscape for 308 million years ago will show river runners how the limestone rocks were formed.
The San Juan River Guide sells for $19.95 and you can order a copy of the new edition from shivapress.com. Even if you have a copy of previous editions, there is enough new information and added color photographs to make a purchase worthwhile. See you on the San Juan!

Full Product Description
Highly relevant to today's world, this book allows us to feel comfortable not just with the reality of the presence of the Holy Spirit but also new insights from post-modern science. This includes the many dimensions of superstrings, the current best model for a 'Theory of everything', presently awaiting confirmation from the LHC at CERN, Geneva. Yet the real focus is on the sense of wonder, peace and joy of meeting Jesus and of the Father's love in the many dimensions of healing we encountered, all around us. Each chapter will give enough science to be comfortable with contemporary physics leading to the 'Theory of Everything' in many dimensions. The theology of M-Theory can be seen as preparing the way for a spiritual dimension. In parallel will be a series of first-hand encounters and experiences of healing in the Holy Spirit. These are real examples bringing the book to life, bridging the gap between theoretical and experiential - not deduced but encountered. It was this sharing of personal stories and experiences which entranced his hearers during his recent tour of America. 'You must write a book about these', they challenged William (Eric).
Dimensions of the Spirit by Eric William Middleton was published by Piquant in September 2012 and is our 34598th best seller. The ISBN for Dimensions of the Spirit is 9781903689899.

Q. Do I need to respond to an oral request or to an anonymous request?
A. Yes, you must respond to all requests, oral or written. The requester is not required to identify himself or herself, state the reasons for the request, or use formal language describing the request as a public records request. Wis. Stat. §19.35 (1) (i).
Q. How specific does a request need to be?
A. The request needs to be reasonably specific as to the subject matter and time period involved. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (1) (h).
Q. Do I need to deny a request in writing?
A. The General Counsel recommends that all public records denials be made in writing unless the requester has refused to provide an address. A denial must include a statement of the specific reasons for denial, and a notice of the requester's right to review by the attorney general, district attorney, or circuit court. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (4) (b).
Q. What if a person requests a video tape or audio tape recording?
A. Unless the video tape or audio tape recording contains information that is exempt from disclosure, you must provide the requester with a copy of the tape recording that is substantially as good as the original. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (1) (c) and (d). Recordings should be edited to delete information that should not be disclosed if reasonable, and technically feasible.
Q. Must I provide a record electronically if requested?
A. Yes. Wisconsin Executive Order #189 requires that a record that exists in electronic format should be provided in such format if requested.
Q. What kind of fees may I charge for locating or copying records?
A. If the cost exceeds $50, you may impose a fee for locating the record, not exceeding the actual, necessary and direct cost of the location process calculated based on the salary of the lowest paid staff member able to do the work. You may also impose fees for reproduction, transcription, photographing, mailing and shipping, as long as those fees do not exceed the actual, necessary and direct cost for those activities. Finally, you may require prepayment by the requester if the total amount of fees exceeds $5. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (3). No fees may be charged for time spent on redacting records or for legal review.
Q. What if a person requests a record that contains some information that is subject to disclosure and some that is not?
A. You must provide the information that is subject to disclosure and delete (redact) from the copy provided to the requester any information that is not subject to disclosure. Wis. Stat. § 19.36 (6).
Q. May a person challenge the accuracy of a record?
A. Yes, if the record contains personally identifiable information about the requester and the requester notifies you in writing of the challenge. If you concur with the challenge, you must correct the information; if you deny the challenge, you must notify the person who has challenged the record (or his or her representative) of the reasons for the denial and allow the person to file a concise statement that sets forth the reasons for the requester's disagreement with the disputed portion of the record. Wis. Stat. § 19.365 (1). If an employee disagrees with any information contained in his or her personnel records and you cannot agree on the information, you must permit the employee to submit a written statement explaining the employee's position and you must attach this statement to the disputed portion of the personnel record. Wis. Stat. § 103.13 (4).
Q. Is my email a public record?
A. Yes. Email that is not purely personal is a public record. Wisconsin's public records law does not consider the format for a record, but rather its substantive content. "Record means any material…regardless of physical form or characteristics, which has been created or is being kept by an authority." Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (2). Thus, a state employee's email messages are public records, except for those emails that fall within an exception to the definition of public record.
Q. Is everything created or received by a state employee a public record?
A. No. Wisconsin's public records law expansively defines the term record. "Record means any material on which written, drawn, printed, spoken, visual or electromagnetic information is recorded or preserved, regardless of physical form or characteristics, which has been created or is being kept by an authority." Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (2).
However, there are exceptions to this definition. "Record does not include drafts, notes, preliminary computations and like materials prepared for the originator's personal use or prepared by the originator in the name of a person for whom the originator is working; materials which are purely the personal property of the custodian and have no relation to his or her office; materials to which access is limited by copyright, patent or bequest; and published materials in the possession of an authority other than a public library which are available for sale, or which are available for inspection at a public library." Id.
Q. What should I do if I receive a record request in a matter where I feel litigation is likely to occur or where litigation has already been filed?
A. Contact the Office of General Counsel or Campus Legal Counsel.
Wisconsin Public Records Law (WPRL) (Wis. Stats. §§ 19.31-19.39) embodies the principle that all persons are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding government affairs and the official acts of government officers. Consistent with this principle, WPRL creates a strong legal presumption in favor of complete public access to public records.
Scope of the Law
WPRL generally requires public offices and officials, including University of Wisconsin System institutions, to permit inspection and copying of public records and to adopt and post guidelines about how the public may inspect and copy these records. Wis. Stats. §§ 19.32 (2) and 19.34 (1). Each institution designates a legal records custodian to process record requests.
The term "records" is broadly defined to include almost all information existing in a tangible medium maintained by a public institution, including UW System institutions. The definition of records includes electronic records such as email. Excluded from the definition of records are notes, drafts, preliminary computations, and similar items prepared for personal use. Also excluded are personal property having no relation to the owner's public office; material to which access is limited by copyright, patent or bequest; and published material available for sale or at the public library. Wis. Stat. § 19.32 (2). In addition, WPRL does not require the custodian to create new records to respond to a request, nor does it require custodians to answer questions. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (1)(L).
Responding to a Record Request
When responding to a request for a record, the institution's legal records custodian should consider whether the material requested is a record, as defined in the statute, and if such a record exists. If the custodian determines that the material requested is an existing record, it should be presumed to be accessible.
The custodian should next consider whether the law specifically requires disclosure of the record, or whether an exception to disclosure applies. The following are among the common exceptions to disclosure allowed by law:
- The record is a trade secret. Wis. Stat. § 19.36 (5) (e.g., a confidential customer list).
- The record is exempted from disclosure by federal or state laws. Wis. Stat. § 19.36 (1) (e.g., FERPA-protected education records).
- The record is protected from disclosure by common law limitations. Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (e.g., the attorney-client privilege).
- The public interest in nondisclosure of the record outweighs the public interest in disclosure ("the balancing test"). In applying this balancing test, the custodian may consider the public policy exceptions to Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law, Wis. Stat. § 19.85, and deny the request if one of those exceptions outweighs the public's interest in disclosure. If the custodian decides that a record should be released but for the fact that it contains some non-disclosable information, the custodian must delete (redact) the non-disclosable portions of the record.
If the custodian believes that a request should be denied for these or other reasons, he or she should consult with the Office of General Counsel or Campus Legal Counsel.
Time for Responding to a Request
Responses to record requests must be given as soon as practicable and without delay. Wisconsin Executive Order #189 requires that a response be made within ten working days to a simple and straightforward request. If it is not possible to respond within that time, it is appropriate to acknowledge the request and explain that a response will be provided as soon as possible.
Form of Request
Record requests must be reasonably specific as to the subject matter and time period involved in the request.
Requests need not be written nor be identified as a "formal" request. The requester need not identify himself or herself, nor provide a reason for making the request.
Fees may be charged for the actual, direct costs of copying records, and in some instances for costs associated with retrieval of the records if that amount exceeds $50.00.
Form of Response
Written responses are required if the request is in writing, if the oral requester asks for a response in writing, or if a request is denied. Any denial must include specific reasons for the denial citing to the statutes and must inform the requester of his or her right to seek review of the denial from the district attorney, the attorney general or the courts.
Records may be produced in electronic format unless the requester objects, and must be produced digitally at the requester's choice if the information is held primarily in a digital format.
Penalties for Violating WPRL
A court may award damages of not less than $100 and fees, including attorney's fees, to a requester who successfully challenges a denial of a request. Wis. Stat. § 19.37 (2). In addition, if the court finds that the institution or custodian arbitrarily or capriciously denied or delayed a response to a request or charged excessive fees, the court may require either the institution or the custodian to pay the requester punitive damages or to forfeit not more than $1,000. Wis. Stat. § 19.37 (3) and (4).
Special Considerations
- Personnel records. The WPRL does not exempt the personnel records of state employees from disclosure to other persons requesting those records. However, certain employee personnel records may not be released including:
- Home address, home email address, home telephone number, or social security number, unless the employee has authorized access to the information;
- Information relating to the current investigation of a possible criminal offense or employment misconduct prior to disposition of the investigation;
- Employment examination (except, perhaps, the score);
- Certain information used by the employer for purposes of staff management planning, such as performance evaluations, judgments, recommendations concerning future salary adjustments or other wage treatments, management bonus plans, promotions, job assignments, letters of reference, or other comments or ratings of employees.
- Identities of applicants for most university positions where individuals have requested confidentiality.
As to other employment records, the custodian must weigh the public's interest in disclosure against the public's interest in nondisclosure, including the public's (as opposed to the individual's) interest in the record subject's privacy and reputation. Employees holding high-level positions or those with substantial public trust may be subject to different considerations, and, for example, may not be entitled to privacy in their performance evaluations. Custodians should consult with the Office of General Counsel or Campus Legal Counsel when such requests are received.
If the custodian determines that a requester is entitled to the release of the disciplinary records of an employee, the custodian must notify the person who is the subject of the records to give that person an opportunity to contest the release of the records in court.
Custodians should also be aware that employees and former employees are permitted to inspect their own medical and personnel records. Wis. Stat. §103.13 (2). Further, under WPRL, a person or that person's authorized representative has the general right to inspect other records that contain personally identifiable information pertaining to that person.
- Student records. The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) governs access to student records maintained by the University of Wisconsin System.
- Electronic records. Although a computer program is not subject to inspection or copying under WPRL, the data used as input for the computer program and the reports produced from the computer program are subject to disclosure, Wis. Stat. § 19.36 (4), as are email and other data stored electronically. Because of the complex issues involving inspection, preservation and redaction of electronic records, the custodian should address any questions or concerns to the Office of General Counsel or Campus Legal Counsel.
- Law enforcement records. Other than records disclosing the identity of confidential informants, campus law enforcement records are considered public records. However, serious considerations of public safety, compromise of pending investigations, or relation with other laws, should be considered under the balancing test and may weigh in favor of confidentiality. Consultation with legal counsel is highly recommended in this area.
- Retention of records that have been the subject of a request. Records subject to a pending public records request must be retained as set forth in Wis. Stat. § 19.35 (5).
Managing Records

TRACK: Unsung stars lift Great Oak over Vista Murrieta for Division 1 boys title
NORWALK – To win a CIF-Southern Section team track title, stars need to perform like stars and unlikely heroes need to emerge on the biggest of stages.
Meet Asa Martin, CJ Stevenson and Jaime Navarro.
Not the household names for the Temecula Great Oak track team. Not the distance lads that took section, state and national cross country titles and shattered unbeatable records not once but twice this spring. Not the established star that is weight thrower Seth Knowlton.
No, while distance juggernauts Isaac Cortes, Spencer Dodds, Cole Spencer and Solomon Fountain did their thing and Knowlton picked up the expected first and third in the weight throws, it was the aforementioned trio that made the ultimate difference in Great Oak winning the CIF-SS Division 1 boys team title Saturday at Cerritos College.
RELATED: Great Oak's girls complete rare sweep with first Division 1 team title
Martin stunned with a personal-best 15-foot, 6-inch clearance to win the pole vault. Stevenson logged a personal-best 45-10.25 for second in the triple jump. Navarro, a wild-card entry into the discus throw field, went 166-01 for third while Knowlton was winning.
That's 24 points to a team race that was decided by 16.
"The field event kids really stepped up and that was definitely the difference today from what we were projecting and what we ended up winning by," Great Oak coach Doug Soles said.
In accumulating 104 points to claim the program's second boys team title as part of an historic boys-girls sweep, Soles' Wolfpack did the previously unthinkable: They defeated sprint-heavy Southwestern-League rival Vista Murrieta – the team that won league, section and state titles a year ago and brought back just about everyone – not once, not twice but three times this season.
Vista Murrieta has won the Division 1 boys team title five of the last seven years. Great Oak has now won the other two.
"We performed well today," said Vista Murrieta coach Coley Candaele, whose team finished second. "Based on projections, I thought 82 (points) was going to be a good day for us and we scored 88. It wasn't anything about us. Great Oak just performed even beyond expectations. They did a great job, not only in the distances, which is obvious, but in the field events ... "
Overall, the Southwestern League dominated boys Division 1, getting nine champions, five runners-up and five third-place medals.
Inland area boys claimed 16 championships including individual doubles by Vista Murrieta's Michael Norman (D1 200 and 400), two by Cortes (800, 1,600) and two by Elsinore junior Anthony Reyes (D2 400 and triple jump).
The top nine in the sprints and the top 12-plus ties in all other events advanced to Friday's CIF Masters meet state qualifier. Inland boys qualified in 46 individual and five relay spots.
Cortes put on a show on his birthday, doubling for the second year in a row, winning the 800 in a personal best 1:50.55 and holding off Spencer to win the 1,600 in 4:07.62.

Kessel wasn't really a gamebreaker at the time of his trade (and I would argue he isn't a bonafide elite player now either) but yes - he was the most talented player involved. However with Horton and Seguin the Bruins got much depth and that's how they beat every team.
Now if Seguin got them through that series against Tampa Bay, which by all media accounts he was given credit for, and Horton had an overall "decent" playoffs with 3 gwg and the Leafs gave them both Seguin and the cap-space to sign Horton - I'm positing that none of that would've happened had it not been for the trade.
Yes it's speculative but that's exactly how I feel about the trade. The Bruins got talented young players and scoring depth, the Leafs got a winger who hasn't done much of anything for them. They lost the trade, Boston won the cup.
Interesting argument. And there's no doubt that Horton was super clutch for them. He wasn't in the finals but they arguably don't even get there without him.

Pediatric Neurologist and Neuroscientist, Massachusetts General Hospital
Author, The Autism Revolution: Whole Body Strategies for Making Life All It Can
Our understanding of how people get and stay sick is undergoing a revolution. Even the very idea of what "being sick" means is profoundly changing. In fact, the whole idea that our illnesses are our genetic destiny is crumbling. Decades of genetic research have not found the root causes or led to treatments for any of the major, common chronic diseases. This research has only found the causes for rare conditions like Huntington's disease and various genetic and metabolic syndromes that affect small numbers of people. Even for those rare conditions, the way we live our lives - what we eat, what we are exposed to, how much we get stressed-can affect both how much we suffer and how well we function.
We're learning that sickness is not the inevitable, unchangeable playing out of some inborn program. Instead, sickness is the manifestation of our inner systems not working right. Some nasty things are interfering with good function, while other helpful things are in short supply and can't do repair work. The increasing number of children with autism reflects this.
We need to change things around to have less interference and more support in order for our inner systems to work better, so that all the squeaks and groans for autism and ADHD-difficult behaviors, attention problems, sleep problems, allergies and more -will die down, so we can have more functional and happier children. The trick is, how do we reorganize our lives, and the lives of our loved ones, and particularly those who depend on us, to get the best shot at being all we can be?
In the past few years, the gut - the belly - has rapidly risen from obscurity to front and center in our understanding of health issues in body and brain. Far from simply being a pipe through which our foods pass and nutrients are absorbed, our gastrointestinal tracts are hugely complex ecosystems, with literally trillions of tiny organisms (okay let's just call them "bugs") from thousands of species that are all interacting with each other as a complicated team. It's called the gut microbiome.
If that team has all the right members, it will work for you. If the team is missing important players, or if opportunists (bad bugs) with different agendas get in, all bets are off and you are at risk for problems - even big problems. Many find it hard to believe that something as basic and everyday as what food you ingest - can make a real difference. Diet seems, well, trivial.
Well, think again.
It turns out that the bad bug opportunists in your gut love the processed foods loaded up with carbohydrates and sugars that are so easy to consume. In many of us, our delicate gut microbiome has probably already been compromised from a variety of exposures, such as oral anitbiotics. When the bad bugs get all pumped up, they hit and crowd out the good bugs in your microbiome-the ones that want to help you. Science is starting to show that some gut flora bounces back after taking hits-but others don't-and can just plain disappear.
But, before I get you more depressed, let me get back to the good news. Firstly, diet does matter - and you have more power than you ever knew to improve your diet. Secondly, diet can fix a huge amount of this damage. Thirdly, the particular diet advocated in this book, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ - Dairy Free (SCD-DF), is targeted precisely at repairing the kinds of damage I've been telling you about. Finally, this wonderful book does an amazing job of explaining the SCD-DF - not only what this diet is, but all the little and big speed bumps you may hit, and how to solve these problems and succeed.
This book is written by two people who know what it means to learn to use this diet. They know it from personal experience and experience with their loved ones. They know it from walking many people through the process.
So, read this book. Do what it takes to make this diet work. Do it for real, do it seriously. Then watch the changes-sometimes they are dramatic; often they are subtle and build. Sometimes, after a few months, things seem to get worse (almost like the body's system is doing a reset) and then they get even better than before. Have compassion for the struggling gut microbiome of your child with autism or ADHD.
Read it, do it, stick with it. It's important for your child, and for you. Join the growing number of people who are getting their lives back to what really matters.
