Camphill Cottage - rustic charm and comfort

“Camphill" as it has been known in the district since 1860 - is not just a farm stay - it’s an echo of a time zone - one of confident simplicity, dramatic landscapes and birdsong chorus. Situated a five minute drive from the cafes, wineries, restaurants, antique shops and old pubs of historic Rylstone, it is the ideal option for those seeking peace, privacy, space and authenticity. We offer two houses with accommodation on a 60 acre horse establishment - Camphill Homestead and Camphill Cottage.

CAMPHILL COTTAGE:

This charming, rustic cottage offers two queen size bedrooms and a large mezzanine loft with three single beds, and a sofa bed in a small reading room (sleeping a total of eight).
All beds are endowed with quality manchester and electric blankets. The large living area is equipped with a cosy wood fire and reverse cycle air conditioner. A glass enclosed verandah on the northern side looks out over a large dam to the mountains and at sunset will still the buzziest mind. The eastern verandah looks toward original haysheds and horse stables from a bygone era.


CAMPHILL HOMESTEAD:

Camphill Homestead is situated on a horse establishment where horses graze the green paddocks bound by post and rail fencing. The property dates back to the 1860s and had it’s origins as a Cobb & Co blacksmith’s shop forging horse shoes, farm implements, carriage wheels and tools necessary for life in the Central West. The original stone “blacksmith’s forge” still stands to this day located on the 60 acre property.

Established gardens are a mixture of native and deciduous trees and plants providing shade and habitat for native fauna such as wombats, wallabies and native birdlife.

Camphill offers accommodation for large groups with the recent listing of both Camphill Cottage and Camphill Homestead (please see listing for Camphill) sleeping a total of 16 for large groups, family gatherings, holidays, or any excuse to get together and recharge.
