The wool classers shed was well appointed and very comfortable . A bit small for more than one nights stay but otherwise quite nice. The road in and the road through to St Helens is suitable for Toyota Landcruiser type vehicles but not for regular sedans, its riddled with corrugations. I guess that's our fault for not researching things before hand. But Icena farmhouse is comfortable and quiet.

Our night was terrible. There was a big spider with a red back in the house. We are not expert, but it was very similar to a dangerous spider for our lives (redback spider). We were there with a baby and it was not a safe environnement for him and for us. Outside, there was a lot of tasmanian devils who was running around the house, knocking at the windows all night long and attacking others animals. Next, the washer was out of order. Even though it was part of the house’s description (in the main title), nobody told us before our arrival. We were travelling for a month and have booked that accomodation especially for that. Finally, the house is located in the middle of nowhere and we didn’t have cellphone network. They didn’t provide wifi connection, so we couldn’t use our GPS or reached someone. Nobody let us know this before our arrival. After our awful night, the owner of the house was hard to reach by Expedia and have refused any compensation for what we lived. DON’T RENT THIS HOUSE!
