A lovely property not too far from the Myponga Reservoir and a short drive to Normanville and Yankalilla. Zak was a friendly and helpful host. Heysen's Rest is a great place to get back to nature and listen to the birds and tranquility of the space.

Zac was an amazing host and my stay was just what I was needing for an escape. The single cabins had everything you need for some time away to yourself. The limited service was ideal for that escape away from the world.

This is restful bush retreat with an environmental consciousness. A place to turn off your screens and look out onto lovely pastural views and observe the natural environment outside your door. The units are clean, bright and comfortable with the door open to fresh air. I enjoyed my tea n’ toast outside listening to the morning birdsong. Great coffee / bakery a few mins drive. Bring a good book and your walking shoes!

A great isolated bush retreat if that's what you're in to. Very clean little donga where everything worked properly... except for Optus mobile phone service. Very annoying as I had internet-based tasks I needed to complete during my stay, but my own fault for not checking this before I booked I guess. Miles away from services so be prepared with food and water. Also a very pointless gate at the entry. Did the right thing by openning and shutting it as I came and went, but not sure what it's purpose was...

It was advertised as a bed and breakfast price, but you still had to pay extra for breakfast. They need to change their advertising

I am a builder. I found that the pillows & bed were extremely comfortable. Everything was so clean. Bathroom facilities were more than adequate. The area was so quiet, which was a plus for me. Highly recommended

Jayne was very helpful and easy to contact. I arrived after dark, so Jayne left a light on at the driveway, off her country dirt road entry. Quiet, clean and a very comfortable bed. It was charming seeing blue wrens in the garden.
