Simone & James Lockhart

‘We have just returned from three magnificent days in the Shoalhaven region. We loved every second. Tiff is an incredible host – warm, engaging and considerate, with amazing attention to detail. She and her lovely parents, as well as the gorgeous Bernie, looked after us beautifully. They made us feel incredibly welcome and provided us with many, many great laughs, stories and conversation. The food was delish, from home made prosecco scones and finger sandwiches on a clifftop, to cheese platters and organic wines by the firepit, to a magnificent seafood platter lunch and a three-course dinner at a local restaurant.
Tiff matched each of us perfectly with her much-loved equine family members. I rode Flick, who was utterly divine – highly responsive with a gorgeous temperament and movie star looks. The scenery was spectacular. I felt like I was actually in one of Arthur Boyd’s paintings as I sat with Flick having lunch by the river looking across the calm, reflective water to the stunning rock formations and pristine Aussie bushland. Another highlight was cantering Tex, the Clydie-cross, on stunning Seven Mile Beach as the sun shone and the salt water sprayed on my face – wow!
All in all, a brilliant holiday. I can’t wait to return!’
