About this property

Frogspark - High Country Escape

Make enquires now! Ideal for groups, Frogspark is a comfy home away from home set in a peaceful valley only 5 km from Oberon, and a short drive from Katoomba, Bathurst and Jenolan Caves. Its passive solar design provides plenty of sunny spots to sit and great views over the dam and paddocks.

Set on eight private acres between pine forests and the historic Oberon-Tarana rail trail, Frogspark has five bedrooms- two with a queen bed, one with a double bed, one with a double bed and single, and one with a double and a single with a trundle. In addition there are seven comfortable convertible beds in living areas all with linen, 4 in a room that can convert to an 6th bedroom.
With a homey, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful grounds complete with kangaroos and dams full of waterbirds, Frogspark provides the ideal getaway where you can do as much or as little as you please.

Upstairs includes a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, separate shower, toilet and basin, a private bathroom with a luxury spa, laundry with drier and two bedrooms, both opening onto decks. A large sunny living area with a beautiful outlook includes a fourteen seater dining table and daybed and leads to a cosy sitting room with comfy lounges, books, magazines, board games, DVDs and TV.

Downstairs are three more bedrooms, a three way bathroom and expansive games room complete with pool table, darts, DVD, bar with sink and large comfy lounges.
A large deck overlooking the dam is fitted out for entertaining with a large table setting, and gas barbeque in the adjoining carport

Along the Oberon / Tarana rail trail, town is an easy 20 minute cycle away. Adult mountain bikes are provided for guest use by arrangment. With plenty of room to run around on the property, children are very welcome but care must be taken near dams.
Enjoy our complimentary teas and coffees (machine and plunger provided) and feel free to make use of pantry dry goods, condiments, bathing and washing supplies during your stay.

Relax, reconnect and revive at Frogspark.

Get in touch with nature at Frogspark

Frogspark provides comfort whilst being kind to the environment. The home's passive solar design provides warmth and sunlight as well as beautiful views whilst the back to grid solar array, solar hot water system and rainwater supply further reduce its carbon footprint. Care is taken in provisioning and cleaning to avoid harsh chemicals and local products are used wherever possible.
We have been rewarded in turn with an abundance of wildlife including kangaroos, water birds and importantly at least 5 species of frogs indicating that Frogspark is indeed treading lightly!

Crisp mountain air outside, cosy comfort inside
At 1100m above sea level, Frogspark enjoys daffodils and blossom in Spring, mild Summers, Colourful Autumn leaves and occasional snow in winter. Frogspark surroundings are ideal for exercise, you can wander the adjoining forests trails or cycle along our quiet road or into town along the cycleway. The grounds are ideal for you to share with your children with plenty of room to run around, a large comercial playground, and a dam to explore and bike hire is available for guests.
Inside, Frogspark provides warmth and comfort with underfloor heating, electric blankets, cosy lounges, a gourmet kitchen for cooking up a storm and a giant table to gather around. Books, DVDs, CDs, magazines and games as well as a pool table and darts provide entertainment whatever the weather outside.
