Relaxed resort lifestyle

“From our serene rural property we invite our guests, from all over the world, to experience an authentic Australian highland holiday.

We offer the adults a peaceful environment as they soak up the spectacular scenery. We offer the exhausted parents a moment alone, while the children keep themselves occupied with all things family friendly, safe and wholesome.

For 25 years we’ve enjoyed running this leisure-styled and lucrative business, however after two and a half decades, it’s time to retire.” Alan Sainsbury (current owner)

While the property has been designed to support a relaxed, low maintenance lifestyle, a factor in the success of the business is the advantage of mobile devices. The latest software and equipment has been implemented resulting in a no-fuss, streamlined reservation and booking system.

The general duties, servicing, maintenance and upkeep of the property, buildings and equipment is currently overseen by one manager and five casual staff. When necessary, local tradesmen are contracted for specific projects.

The nature of the business/lifestyle, allows the current owner to schedule a six week leave of absence, twice a year.

With the school bus passing right by the front door, this is the perfect opportunity for a traditional family business.
