We’ve had such a busy year so far.  It’s nice just to stop and see how far we’ve come.

I’m sitting back under a tree, watching the clouds roll past in the blue sky.  Upper Plenty is hilly and we have some spectacular views at Annie;s Cedar Farm Cottages.   I can see rolling hills and green valleys.  I can see cows peacefully grazing.  If I close my eyes I can hear the breeze stirring through the grasses nearby.

It has been a wonderful year for butterflies and dragonflies, too.  We sit and watch as they dance by with a flutter of wings and flit from leaf to leaf.  This is such a lovely place that it really is a retreat from a busy world.

We’ve met some wonderful people this year and had the pleasure of their company as they stayed in our cottages.  We’ve met couples on honeymoon and families with children who loved to run free in our safe environment.

We’ve added some features to Annie’s Cedar Farm Cottages, too.

It’s nice not to have to go away from the property if you don’t want to.  We have added an outdoor area with seating, a table and a BBQ.  This is wondeful for families.  They can let their children eat on the run and burn off all their childish energy.

We’ve added a swing set for children to play on.  It’s close enough to the cottages for safety but not so close that their laughter will be too loud.  You can stand on the front verandah and see them clearly.  If I was small enough, I would be sitting on that swing and staring out at the view for ages.

And this one is for those times when you just want to sit in peace and contemplate nature.

With the soft scent of eucalyptus and the gentle swishing of the leaves, the park bench offers serenity to those who need it.

Upper Plenty is beautiful and Annie’s Cedar Farm Cottages gives you your own private country retreat when you need to get back to nature.  We are so happy to be able to share our space with you.  If you haven’t visited us yet, don’t leave it too long.  You don’t know what you’re missing.
