This property exceeded expectations for our Christmas Sibling catch up. The comfort level combined with magnificent garden settings provide a serene atmosphere.

Spacious, spotlessly clean, and set in a peaceful rural location, this home was the perfect place to relax. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found that everything we needed was provided—there was no need to bring a thing for this farm stay.The beautiful gardens surrounding the house attracted an abundance of birdlife, creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. Despite its rural setting, the property is only a few minutes' drive from Bathurst city centre, making it the best of both worlds.As we stayed in the middle of winter, the central heating was a real bonus, keeping the house warm and comfortable throughout our visit. We would happily stay here again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're so glad you found the home spacious, spotless, and perfectly set up for a relaxing farm stay, with everything you needed already provided. It's lovely to hear the gardens and birdlife added to that tranquil atmosphere, and that being just minutes from Bathurst gave you the best of both worlds. We're also glad the central heating kept you warm and comfortable during your winter stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we'd love to welcome you back anytime!

Very beautiful home and land. Very clean and comfortable. The heating system was great so our little one was warm at night. Very safe for kids to play outside, very flat and no hazzards for children. Looking forward to book it again

Beautiful well presented property.

Far enough away from Bathurst cbd to get that isolated country feel at only 5 minute drive to everything you need. Thanks for the opportunity to share your property with us.

Bathurst Getaway

We had four days at Laffing Waters Estate and didn’t want to leave. The accommodation here was just perfect. Beautiful ,spacious, clean and had everything you could want. The outdoor area was stunning and we just loved sitting outside. Ideal location which was so quiet but only a 10 minute drive to centre of town. Highly recommend this accomodation.

An extremely comfortable and well-appointed house. We had commitments around Orange, Oberon and Bathurst & this house was well located to serve. A wonderful bonus was the garden which was in full spring bloom and lovely to wander around & make of the outdoor setting. I’m glad we brought some firewood because it was still cool enough in the evenings & this made us very cosy.

Friends weekend

This was a great place to spend some time with friends for the weekend! We enjoyed staying at a place that was out of town, but still close enough to easily go into Bathurst when we wanted. The property was a great size, and very relaxing! My dog thought it was a great place for exploring and endless running around! Its somewhere I would highly recommend

Country Charm

Really enjoyed our stay, the location was great far enough out of Bathurst to feel secluded but with only a 10 minute drive to the CBD made the location ideal. The accommodation was clean, equipped with everything you need, including a well equipped kitchen. I also loved the well maintained gardens and the open living spaces. Only downside was the beds I’m use to a firm mattress the mattress was way to soft for me. I highly recommend this property if you looking for a country escape.

A Great Week

A group of eight people all over 67 years of age. Stayed for five nights to attend a conference in Bathurst and this home / house was just perfect. Everything we could have ever wished for from the home itself with wonderful gardens and grounds to meander around to everyday utensils you would ever need. So spacious with the best ambience ever. Thank you.
