Having driven 4hours from Sydney for the long weekend with my wife and two daughters it was a delight to check into the two bedroom "Whispering Moon" cottage. Helen came down from the house to show us around the cottage , what a gorgeous lady she made us feel very much at home. The fridge was full of lovely breakfast... More

We chose the Black Sheep Inn because we love staying in places with a bit of character...and this certainly had that! It was warm and cosy and has had a very tasteful renovation of the shearing shed to make it a place of understated elegance. We had a lovely view from our room. It was a little cold in the... More

Each room and its ensuite perfectly comfortable and roomy. The breakfasts... More

Seeing 2 kangaroos on our way home at dusk was a... More
