Dinner, Bed and Breakfast Homestays:

Daphne and Jim Phillips have been hosting homestays and Dinner Bed and Breakfast guests since 1972. A tour around their farm is a feature that many travellers enjoy the opportunity to participate in. For many it is a new experience for them. Homestays are regular visitors to Daphne and Jim's home and they are shown all the local attractions and are often treated to a night visit to the Natural Bridge to see the glowworms. This is a sight that will not be easily forgotten and it is at no cost.

Daphne is a very talented artist and her talents are shown in the beautiful teddy bears that adorn her home and her craft room. Each one is unique and there are so many to choose from, the temptation to buy is hard to resist. Another of her interests is quilt making and she has created some beautiful quilts which many people would be envious of.
