Located in a secluded valley on the Macquarie River, "Watton Cottage" offers comfortable and relaxing accommodation, and has everything you need.
Soak up the clean air and impressive views across the valley and take advantage of the private access to the Macquarie River for a picnic, go fishing, watch the abundant bird life, go fossicking or go for a stroll along the walking trails. You might be lucky enough to see the resident platypus or families of rock wallabies and wallaroos. After the sun goes down, sit on the verandah and marvel and the clear night skies.
There's a 100 acres to explore, kids love the space and freedom to run, roam and explore safely.
The cottage is 50 metres from the main homestead and has privacy surrounded by a rambling cottage garden.
Just 2 1/2 hrs from Sydney, 20 minutes from Bathurst and 45 minutes from Orange, "Watton Cottage" is ideal to access all the local attractions.
Visit the National Motor Racing Museum and do a lap around Mt Panorama, check out the TRex dinosaur up close and personal at the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum. Visit the recently completed adventure playground at Victoria Park - WOW, there's a flying fox, maze, great climbing web and much more.
Or if you want that relaxing quiet weekend away, try out the local cafes such as the Hub, Porter's and the Cobblestone Lane Restaurant - yum! Visit the boutique wineries and the Bathurst Farmers' Markets is a must - only the best fresh local seasonal produce direct from the growers is available.
