About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Gardenview for a restful break
Take it easy at this tranquil getaway. Across the road from Blackburn's beautiful Furness Park, with a creek flowing through it - you will find 'Garden Dreams' - a secluded guest house at the back of the main residence - with separate entrance and gate.
15 min walk to Blackburn train station.
If you love nature, you'll love the sounds of the frogs at night in the pond outside of your window. But you may also come across - ducks, kookaburras and even the odd tawny frogmouth!
