The property sleeps ten across four bedrooms, so it’s perfect for two families embarking on a kid-friendly trip.
You’ll be able to keep the kids nice and active with days spent hiking, riding or skiing. Then it’s all country magic as you return to Cultiver linens, a roaring fire and a kitchen designed for feasts. Kangaroos graze at dusk, adding to the quiet theatre of High Country life.
There is also a games room for when the weather isn’t so fine, acres for the kids to run around and the opportunity to pat and feed the horses.
