Cabins in the Valley of Tranquillity
The Valley of Tranquillity is out on the farm and is in fact four kilometres from the garden. The valley is totally isolated and surrounded by hundreds of acres of forest and bush.

Guy's Boat House is compact, better finished, with a double bed, for $50/night. Minimum stay is two nights for each cabin. Ideal for romantic get-aways or hire both cabins for family fun.
