Feel cosy and warm as rain rolls in across the hillside. Pack a picnic, hike a mountain nearby, explore rock pools in town at low tide or make it an intimate date night of self discovery. Roll a dice, deal a card or simply watch films in bed... it's all yours for the taking. But before you call it a night, don't miss your chance to view the Milky Way like you've never seen it before.

Make your stay memorable and join Brad in the morning or afternoon for your complimentary introduction to our friendly miniature goats. Bucklings and doelings are generally born on the farmlet each year from August through to November.

Hideaway Farmlet is ready for you to unwind, put your feet up and settle in. In your cottage, enjoy a queen bed with luxe bedding, extra blankets and hot water bottles. The small dining table can be extended to double as a work space. The tv is on a timber trolley with remote so you can position it for maximum relaxation in bed if you choose.

- "We loved our stay at Novo. Beautiful views, warm and cosy, clean, inviting and luxurious. Thanks, we'll be back" - "Large and spacious in a great locality. However, we found the stairs very steep, people who have mobility problems may not cope. Paying a premium nightly rate, in our opinion it was quite unreasonable to ask guests to water the plants & put the rubbish bins out into the street. A missing louvre in the ensuite meant we had to cover the gap with a bath towel to give us privacy from the lounge. No mention was made of this prior to arrival. Time of check in was a little confusing as we were informed it was 3.00pm but on our arrival the compendium stated it was 2.00pm."
