Peaceful country getaway

A quaint little cottage on a farm. Very well maintained, clean, cozy and comfortable, with every amenity. We had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend, enjoyed the scenery from the outdoor setting, and were greeted by very friendly pup regularly. The setting is beautiful, and we were well looked after!

Loved it

Two nights of absolute bliss. The property is beautiful, my children loved running around looking at the animals. I found the stay to be very peaceful. The highlights were getting to meet the chickens, feed the alpacas and pick fruit from the trees. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to returning in the future. :)

Sheep & Butterflies, note photos

Entry is a short walk of perhaps 50m across lawn. Sheep & alpacas file past the fences a little distance from the cabin, close enough to be entertaining but not close enough to be disturbing. Three varieties of butterflies when I was there, tall trees are close to but not overhanging the cabin and outside deck. The small inside table has rounded bolts on the top, so anything A4 size or larger can't be laid flat. Plenty of room on the outside table on the deck though if you need to spread out, otherwise sit on the large rug in the lounge. Kitchenette is designed for cuppas and re-heating meals.

Why they chose this property

Space. We first experienced Gnawarrre when catering a wedding on a property near the farm we ended up buying. Love the fact that Gnarwarre is quiet and offers so much space and nature, while still being close to town. It's like a hidden pocket of rural living, 5.minutes off the highway.
