​

Hey, we’re only here overnight, when can we see the alpacas? The alpacas roam our property most days. They love to graze and relax on the knoll each morning. They especially love to rest underneath the Treetop Cottage. As with most rural and semi-rural properties, our boundaries are not fenced, which means, sometimes, the alpacas will visit the neighbours, two or three doors down and spend time keeping their grass down!  We can say that this is a rare event and 98% of the time, they are chilling on the knoll.    

​

We are checking-in after 5pm today, will that be a problem? Not at all. There is a key safe which you can access 24/7. We can even help by leaving some lights on or even stoking your fireplace if it's a chilly day.

​

I have just booked the Escape couple’s cottage. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’d like to invite his family to dinner. In total there will be eight of us. They will be quiet and leave before 930pm. Is this okay? Sorry, no. We suggest you celebrate with your family at Samford Village.

As well as a large variety of birdlife such as whip birds, bell birds, king parrots, pale face parrots, pheasants, sulphur-crested cockatoos, black yellow tail cockatoos, finches, honeyeaters, lorikeets, magpies, and lastly, if the conditions are perfect, fireflies. We remind our guests to never approach a wild animal as they are unpredictable.
