Stepping outside you'll be spoiled for choice in how to spend your day, whether you want to travel out further afoot or stay on the property. Throw a barbecue and dine alfresco with beautiful country views, and gather round the firepit at dusk while you roast marshmallows and exchange stories around the flames.
