“We will accommodate 30 on site and we’ll have a capacity for a few more. We’ve introduced I think about 9000 unique visitors to the area and they all spend money of course. It gets people out into the region. We’re not just a hotel bed, it is a place where you come and relax, immerse yourself, de-stress and there is plenty of nature around and the ocean of course. “The initial project and what we thought it would cost, it might have been about half a million that ended up being about three so that commitment to a large debt, that worried Bruce a little bit. But at the end of the day we said ‘well, if it all goes pear shaped we’ll put a sign on the fence and sell the farm’. There’s no sign on the fence and it’s all going well and Brucey’s getting his money back, he really has embraced this next development on the farm and it’ll just add more to the offering that we’ve got. “We’ve added lots of things to our guest experience, from feedback from them like spa services, farm and penguin tours, personalised tours, we are about to buy some e-bikes and push bikes because the coastal pathway will go through our property. So that’s going to be another reason to come and stay, and stay longer, because our aim is to get people to stay in the region longer. We’re pretty passionate about the north west. I think now people are discovering it.”
