Testimonials

"Lewana is the perfect place for a little family or couples retreat in nature, with a beautiful property with big trees, quaint cottages with everything you need and lovely fireplaces to warm up in the cooler months. Our daughter loves feeding the alpacas, collecting chooks eggs and playing in the playground. The new owners Nola and Errol are very friendly and helpful and nice to chat to."
