Just give her a call and she will be happy to receive you.
She likes a little chat and you can help on the farm if you like that.
Number written in the other review is still up to date!

As the weather was super muddy we couldn’t park down in the field but Sue was nice enough to let us pull up in her driveway, such a friendly and kind lady.

Sue is a very friendly person, she loves to meet people and have a chat while drinking coffee or tea together.
If needed it is possible to use the facilities in her house. We stayed one night on her yard, it’s a nice quiet area.
The email address is not in use anymore. If you wish to stay call her on 03-225 4766. This is her home phone, she has no mobile phone. If she doesn’t answer just leave your name and phone number, she will call back. Highly recommended!

Beautiful spot near a little creek.
Simple accommodation, perfect for those who like to enjoy the peaceful nature. It was a delight to wash myself in the river and watch the birds. Sue is a lovely host and I would definitely recommend to meet her and stay on her land for a couple of nights.

Brilliant reasonably unknown campsite in a great spot.
Wake up surrounded by sheep and a friendly cow in a beautiful spot by a small river/creek.
The host is so nice and lets people camp on her land for free, for the joy of meeting people.
Facilities on site are basic and we couldn’t figure out how to use the cold shower but we enjoyed the stay all the same.
Public toilets with water supply and other small amenities about a km up the road in town.
We would recommend but watch out for sandflies.
