Animals
Whispering Pines is set on a 10 acre property with horses, chickens (and sometimes chicks), ducks, dogs, a peacock and a cat. Children are welcome to help feed the animals. Our two dogs, Poppy and Rusty, will bark on your arrival - but rest assured it is a bark of welcome, not of warning!

Pets can be accommodated by prior arrangement, provided your pet is "pet friendly", at a cost of $10 per pet per night. Our two dogs and cat tolerate visiting dogs if they are friendly. We do not accept dogs that are aggressive towards other pets. We recommend guests use the Forest Room, which has direct outside access. Pets are not permitted in the Treetop room.

Children and babies

Families with children and babies are very welcome. Please be aware, however, that this is a rural property with river frontage and extensive gardens. There are ponds, logs, rocks and opportunities for kids to fall off things and get dirty. We've yet to meet a child who doesn't love it here, but a certain level of adult supervision is necessary.
In addition:

There is a travel cot available and a small mattress available for use free of charge
Babies 2 years and under free of charge
Children over 2 and under 12 are welcome to stay in the same room as parents at an additional charge of $10 per night per child
There is a highchair and baby bath
Children are welcome to help feed the chickens, collect eggs and to visit the horses
There is a children's play area in the garden. Toys and books are also available

Situated next to each other downstairs, the Garden and Forest Rooms are an ideal combination for families. A special family rate of $210 per night is available for the two rooms (for a maximum of two adults with children (children must be under 18 years)).
