Excellent value for money and felt we were in the hands of someone who valued our stay. The owner was friendly, helpful and informative. All that he recommended, places to visit and restaurants exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend staying, not just for the beautiful room, but for the integrity of the owner. Thank you for a great stay."

Established in 1852, the property is situated along the George River, Meetermer, where the river meets the sea. Over a span of three years, father and daughter duo, Ross and Anna Williams, meticulously transformed these century-old stables into a luxurious boutique retreat. Their vision was simple - create a space for slow contemplation, set within the scenic embrace of the land they hold dear. They extend a warm welcome to their working and regenerative farm, where they produce the iconic Cape Grim Beef. Enjoy a complimentary farm tour as part of your stay - exploring protected wetlands, regenerative land practices, the awe inspiring meetermer / George River gorge and the Davies Wax Flower which is endemic to the lands of Martha Vale Park. Just a stone's throw away from the heart of St Helens. Here, you can simply unwind under the starlit night sky, breathe in the serenity, and savour the moment.
