Tuckeroo was attractive and comfortable for our group of seven adults. Sleeping, cooking, relaxing were all catered for well by the facilities Rachel and Michael have made available at Tuckeroo. The grounds are pleasant to wander in and provided opportunities for a stroll or a bit of quiet time. There is an abundance of birdlife which we chose not to feed, other than the resident hen who was a favourite.We highly recommend a stay at Tuckeroo
