Eliza's Barn at Porcupine Ridge Estate
Eliza's barn has such wonderful vistas across the paddocks, down to the Wombat Forest and from the verandah. Waking up to the kangaroos in the mornings is such an incredible sight! Some beautiful photos were taken around the Barn and we share a slideshow from Flickr here.
Annabelle's & Emma's Cottages
We couldn't resist making our first video to share the delights of our cottages with more distant friends. Chopin was kind enough to lend us his Nocturne No.2 for the occasion.
