Swing in the hammock with only the call of the Whip birds to disturb you. From the deck, hear the rush of the creeks after rainfall or raucous birdsong in sunshine. Take a stroll along Bundewallah Road, enjoying the peace of this rural no-through lane and in winter return to the warmth of the pot-belly stove. Khan Cottage may feel a million miles from care but the township of Berry, with its many shops and cafes, is only a five-minute drive away. The country markets take place here on the first Sunday of the month. We are close to Seven Mile Beach National Park where, at Gerroa, the Crooked River estuary provides gentle waters for young children and good fishing prospects for older ones. Boutique restaurants and their wineries are all near by.
