If this represents the quality of properties on this site then we will enjoy many more, the Shepherds hut is 10x better than the photos (which already made it look a amazing) to anyone looking at staying here - do so, you won’t be disappointed.

Don’t hesitate to book! This place is idyllic! The views and grounds are beautiful, so well kept and perimeter is secure for dogs so really gave us peace of mind. You will not want to miss the sunsets here- especially in the BBQ hut! The shepherds hut really does have everything you could ask for, the storage is pretty amazing in a small space. There was even an ironing board and a slow cooker somehow tucked away! We wanted and needed for nothing! Bring some DVDs too as the tv has a built in player. The shower was nicer than our shower at home, we were really surprised what they managed in a small space. Probably the best nights sleep we’ve had in ages. We have a bit of a nervous dog, so we were cautious about taking him away, but the hosts could not have been more accommodating. The place was super quiet, secure and away from any busy loud spots- it made our worries slip away and he had a wonderful time. Highly recommend and we will definitely be returning! ...

Our week at Shepherds Rest was just what we wanted, a relaxing holiday, that suited all our needs and it certainly delivered. While I sat and read my partner fished the ponds as our fur baby played with the owners dogs who called for him daily. The outdoor area was stunning and one of my favourite times was saying morning to the ducks and watching them swimming around in the top ponds. We used the BBQ hut to cook tea most nights and enjoyed sitting in there with the fire roaring with a glass of wine or two. If you have dogs it’s perfect for them to roam and explore the outdoor area and the warm dog wash is a brilliant addition. The hut itself was stunning with great attention to detail with all the equipment and facilities you could want. The king size bed was ultra comfortable and we both had the best weeks sleep we’ve ever had. Nic and Richard are amazing hosts, so warm and friendly and couldn’t do more for you. Thank you for a wonderful holiday, we will see you again. Emma, Matt & Bodhi ?? ...

This was a perfectly peaceful spot to while away the days fishing in the two ponds. We caught plenty of fish. No huge whoppers mind! The outdoor bbq area was amazing, we cooked on it every night, I would have liked a bigger pot to cook in but thats not everyone’s taste. The geese and ducks were the best guard dogs ever Bed so comfy, we loved every minute of our outdoor tranquil week. Pub food was great as were the pastie! ...

The property is set in a stunning location, very secluded. The ducks and geese will welcome you and announce your arrival which made us laugh each time. Having outdoor BBQ area made it possible to enjoy the outdoors even during rainy weather. The bed was superb and extra comfortable. Hut has everything you need. Unfortunately for us no Wi-Fi or phone reception in the property is a big disadvantage. Couldn’t plan our days out or check surfing conditions until we are on motorway. ...

We are ever so pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay and especially that you were offered a warm welcome from the ducks and geese. Unfortunately, as stated on our website, Shepherd's Rest does not have WiFi and due to its rural location, the phone signal is limited, as it is in Lerryn and the surrounding areas. Nevertheless, Shepherd's Rest is the perfect location for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and get back to nature. We're sorry that you were unable to check the surfing conditions, however these can be viewed daily on the local news/weather reports on the TV provided. Meg, Customer Support ...
