About the owners
Kathy and Troy
Hi! My name is Kathy. Thank you for visiting our website. In 2003 my husband, Troy and I bought 80 acres of rural farmland and built the homestead on it. After living in the homestead for a short time, we decided to turn our home into an accommodation house.
Gradually over the years we added extra buildings, the wedding pavilion and three additional guest accommodation cabins. I love living on our scenic, working cattle farm in the Lockyer Valley in Queensland, Australia.
The Lockyer Valley is a small, friendly, tight knit community full of country charm and hospitality. I enjoy the excitement, beauty and emotion of weddings and I especially love working with newly engaged couples and their families.
I also enjoy spending time with my family, patting our animals, crochet and jogging on our peaceful country roads in my spare time.
