Oakhurst Cottage FarmStay -A tastefully restored cottage set in a private garden

A tastefully restored cottage (circa 1890) with 2 ensuited bedrooms, large verandah, parlour and fully self-catering large timber kitchen, set in a private garden situated on a large sheep and cattle property. Due to the topography of the property, the cottage has limited phone coverage and if you are with Telstra, there is no coverage and there is no Wi-Fi. The cottage can sleep up to 6 people with quality linen, antique furniture and spacious living. We have a minimum night stay of two nights.

The Cottage is only 9 kms from Deepwater and is the perfect stopover on the New England Highway between Sydney and Brisbane. The cottage has its own private garden with a secure fence. The cottage is situated on 2450 acre working farm enterprise comprising a Border Leicester stud, merino flock, prime lambs and cattle operation. There are hens, pet sheep and other farm animals in paddocks around the cottage. Your pets are welcome too. Children may enjoy patting the pet sheep or collecting the eggs.
