We welcome children to Buttercup. Our experience shows that children love the space to run around, ride their bikes or play with our border collie-kelpie cross sooky dog, Molly. We also have a very energetic border collie puppy called Harriet. Molly thinks it's time she went home but loves her really.

We regard children as being under 18 years of age. We charge for children to stay only if they use a bed. So if you have an infant or toddler in a portacot there is no charge. Please bring your own portacot.

There's an abundance of things to do in this region from visiting our local wineries and a day trip to the more distant wineries; to bush walking, horse riding, golfing, fishing, visiting craft venues, historic town walks, photography, skiing (both water and snow), ballooning, abseiling, rock climbing or mountain biking.
