Things
to see and do
"Rostrata is the perfect place to escape from life's stresses. The setting is beautiful, house extremely roomy and comfortable, and equipment provided is of excellent quality.
We particularly enjoyed the daily parade of honeyeaters and blue wrens coming in for their drink in the bird bath.
The farm is in the perfect location for adults to explore the gold rush area and superb local wineries, and for children to connect with the country experience."
