About this property
Escape into Nature just minutes from Tathra.
A nature lovers paradise perfect for couples, families or a group getaway. Mountain bikers, Hiking Groups & Birdwatchers will love this place. Kangarutha Farm (100HA) is a hidden treasure, close to Tathra (1.6 km). There are several km's of trails on the property with wildlife including kangaroos, gliders, possums, eagles, and over 100 bird species. The property borders Bournda NP and trails lead to the Kangarutha Coastal Walk. The Kalaru to Tathra bike path passes the property gate.
The space
'Kangarutha Cottage' is a well-loved destination on a unique rural property of 100 Ha.
The character retro cottage is nestled on the fringe of tall coastal forest and has been in the Hamilton family for 50 years. It has evolved over time which gives it a cosy but unconventional feel. The Cottage is situated only 150m from the main road but is hidden, with easy access and a wonderful rural view of paddocks, dams and forest.
The property comprises 2 buildings. The main cottage and an adjacent 'Lodge' which are surrounded with a fully fenced private yard and tennis court. The gardens are tranquil, a beautiful place to relax in nature whilst being close to the beach and other attractions around Tathra and the region.
The Cottage with Lodge sleeps a total of 8 people with 6 beds
The main cottage is cosy with 2 bedrooms - a queen bed in the large bedroom and two single beds (or combined to a King bed). The kitchen, lounge room and dining area are the open plan hub of the house with a cosy wood fire for cooler months and an optional reverse cycle air conditioner. The bathroom has a bath/ shower, with a separate toilet.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, cutlery and crockery, Stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, jug, toaster. The cottage has full laundry faciities.
The adjacent 'Lodge' consists of a queen bedroom and attached bathroom with shower and toilet and a rumpus/ sitting room. The second bedroom in the lodge has 2x long king single beds (or king bed).

About the host
Hosted by Christine Hamilton
Our family live also on the property. We really love welcoming people to our property and are happy for guests to explore the natural places on our land. . I ride horses as do our agistees and you will often see horses being attended to at the horse shed just near the cottage.
Why they chose this property
We have owned the property since the 1960's and we now have the 4th generation living and working here. We love this area and we know how fortunate we are to own such a wonderful part of the world. Looking after this small piece of paradise is our passion
What makes this property unique
This property is on the edge of tall coastal forest. Much of it is timbered and as such hosts many native plants, animals and birds, from gliders, to Pygmy possums , Ringtails, Kangaroos and wallabies, and over 100 species of birds.
Kangarutha Farm was once home to a well known and loved Garden Centre and Wholesale Nursery which is now being redeveloped into a fabulous event space. It is one of the closest private properties to Tathra (1.6 km) and all that it offers
