Mrs Ferris August 2026
We had a lovely stay in the shepherd’s hut. It’s furnished to such a high standard and you can really tell that a lot of thought has gone into all the little touches. There were lots of lovely goodies waiting for us too, which was a really nice touch. The outside space was probably our favourite part. The covered table area was perfect, and with all the fairy lights and flowers it looked so pretty and made it feel really special, especially in the evening. Everything was just so well thought out and made for a really relaxing stay. We absolutely loved it and would definitely come back!...

We had the most amazing anniversary stay at Aurora 24 Acres and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect escape. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was spotless, peaceful, and beautifully secluded – exactly what we were looking for. The outdoor shower and the log-fired bath were absolute highlights and made the whole experience feel so special and relaxing. It was the perfect place to switch off, unwind, and enjoy some quality time together. Marcelle is such a wonderful host and truly goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Her thoughtful touches and attention to detail made our anniversary even more special. We left feeling completely refreshed and already can’t wait to come back. We would highly recommend Aurora 24 Acres to anyone looking for a peaceful, unique getaway!...

Miss Vallis July 2026
Aurora exceeded our expectations. This property is more beautiful than the pictures. All the tiny details that I won’t spoil for other guests really do make this place magical. We had 3 days of pure bliss with everything we needed and more. Marcelle is an incredible host. You can see the passion that she puts into this property with all the thoughtful detail and extras. The outdoor bath and shower are a must.. We throughly enjoyed the additional extras of a picnic basket and meat basket. The location was perfect. It was private and quiet (apart from the wonderful nature sounds). We will definitely be back and recommend this place to everyone. ...
