The cottage is well appointed with a large kitchen including dishwasher and microwave and the living area has a slow combustion wood fire to keep you warm and cozy in the winter while enjoying a glass of red or cup of hot chocolate. The cottage also has ducted air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer. The large outdoor area includes a gas barbeque and outdoor dining as well as a long bench with bar stools where you can just sit, watch the cows grazing and enjoy the scenery. We are located just 2.5 kms from Thirlmere township and the NSW Train Museum which offers steam train rides every weekend and regular visits from Thomas the Tank Engine and is also home to the Steam Train Festival which is held annually in March. Thirlmere Lakes National Park and the spectacular Mermaid Pools and Potholes are within a ten minute drive with many bushwalking trails and swimming holes.

Relaxing Farm Stay
Visited Sydney from Brisbane for 2 nights and booked this accomdation for me and my family. Beautiful, tidy home! Kids loved the sheep and cows in the backyard especially when the cows came to the fence so they could pat them. Quite chilly so was able to make good use of fireplace! Well thought out property for guests and very comfortable place to stay! Highly recommend this property for a luxe, farm-styled stay. Easy access and great communication with owner

Loved our farm stay
We loved every minute of the long weekend we spent at the farm. The house is very comfortable, cosy and well taken care of and it definitely was designed with guests comfort in mind. The patio is lovely and we enjoyed our meals outside. Our daughter really loved all the toys and books she found at the house (such a nice touch!), as well as observing the animals. The farm is pretty close to Sydney and many interesting places to explore with kids. Overall, we were very happy with our time at the farm and would definitely recommend it to our friends.

Perfect Farmstay cosy cottage
We had a fantastic stay! We loved the house - really clean and modern. Kitchen was very well appointed with many things needed for home cooking and for the BBQ. The fireplace kept us cozy and we all enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. It was great to see all the cows and sheep grazing on the property and the kids loved feeding them hay over the fence just a few meters from our back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location and cottage was great. Very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. It’s quiet and peaceful. We especially liked the fresh bread and eggs when we arrived. Lots of games for families and a cosy fireplace that was all ready for us to just light. The host was extremely friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

A Little Slice Of Heaven
The place was clean and perfect location to stay for our race in Picton. The place had everything that we want and need. I was just sad that we weren't able to stay longer to enjoy the place more. They have lambs and cows too which are very friendly.Alaine even left some bread, eggs and butter in the fridge as a welcome present for us which I think is a very nice touch. The only and minor thing missing in the house was a full mirror . The only mirror this house have was the one in the bathroom.Other than that, I find it perfect and looking forward to staying again to relax and explore the place next time.

Beautiful Cottage & Property
From the moment we drove in the gates, we fell in love with the property, we were lucky enough to be blessed with 4 little baby lambs to enjoy watching running around with their mumma & the mumma cow & her growing boy, they all we’re happy to come & visit with us. The house is lovely, very easy to check in, it was lovely inside & very clean! The eggs & fresh bread on arrival is such a wonderful touch, plus butter in the fridge too & Alaine even had the fire ready to go for us, which we used to keep us warm the whole weekend & they provided us with pre-cut wood making it super easy. The only thing for us is, we prefer a softer mattress but in saying that we still all got some sleep, I would have loved a long mirror in one of the bedrooms. We will definitely be back again, we loved it that much💚

We had a great time, lovely new property in a very quiet area. Host was very friendly and big open spaces for the kids to explore. The kids enjoyed interacting with the animals and the indoor and outdoor fires were a nice bonus. Great location with easy access to Picton and the NSW train museum and surrounds. Lots of inclusions including cooking gear, kids games, firewood, linen etc. Overall a great and relaxing experience.

This place was even better than advertised. It’s has everything you need, a place for a fire inside and out, and a full kitchen for cooking. Plus you get some visitors every now and then(cows and sheep). One of the best weekends away! Can’t wait to visit again.

Great little farm stay
We had a great experience. The property is impeccably clean. Surrounded by a beautiful green farm. There were farm animals grazing around. The hosts kept the firepits outside and inside the property ready to go. They even gave us bags of food to feed the farm animals. The property is quite near to the beautiful town of picton but secluded enough to enjoy the nature. Our child loved being here and spent most of the time running around the farm chasing the ducks. We would definetely be coming back. The hosts have kindly organised a surprise of a pack of marshmellows to burn on the firepit and enjoy.

Fantastic Getaway
The property is a beautifully presented modern cottage, in immaculate condition, with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. It is located in a quiet rural area, which is only a short drive to Thirlmere or Picton for meals or supplies. The property has a great kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms, lounge, BBQ and outdoor undercover area with a a few friendly cows and sheep roaming around. Alaine was a wonderful host who allowed us to check-in early and even loaded up the wood fire ready to go. We stayed 2 nights to attend a wedding and visit the southern highlands and thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We could have easily stayed much longer.

Lovely quiet cottage with all amenities
We stayed here as we were visiting friends who live nearby. What a lovely clean, quiet and well equipped gem. Wonderful comfy beds, great a/c, and we loved the outdoor bbq and eating space. And the friendly sheep and cows were an added bonus. Must recommend the Wollondilly Community Leisure Centre Swimming pool in Picton if it’s hot and / or you have kids. Less than 10 mins drive away and a great facility with indoor and outdoor pools
