An original convict constructed sandstone cottage, circa 1827, with tasteful and complementary extensions add a charismatic charm to the ambience created by the original outbuildings that are scattered over 2.6 acres, featuring historical displays of yesteryear.
The cottage bedroom, originally used by the inspector of police; the stable master’s quarters and the quaint bungalow allow for comfortable and cosy sleeping for 10. This comprises of three double rooms (a double in the cottage, two singles in the cottage, a double in the sleep out) and a quadruple room (four singles in the stable master’s quarters).
All bedrooms have electric coil heaters.
The huge and well fitted kitchen/family room supply gas hot plates, electric oven, table setting for 10 and a comfortable section of the family room to take in the view of the lake (when drought free), the surrounding Oatlands , as well as the first cemetery used for convicts in the area dated 1825.
There is a cosy double bed sleep-out that has the second septic toilet nearby, and the fantastic stone stable masters quarters which combines the coach house and the original smoke house.
A combination of electric, gas, double glazed windows, floor heating in the kitchen/family room and a wood heater in the original cottage section are there to keep the frosts out in winter.
A combination of the original stone wall and an artistic flair has created a unique bathroom, with a unique self-adjustable gas hot water service, with shower, bath and toilet. An extra septic toilet is adjacent to the outside bungalow.
Within the property there are numerous buildings, which include a barn, stables, shearing shed, where once a family of ten lived in the loft. There is an old feed shed, wagon repair shed plus numerous other aging sheds of yester year.
The sheds have been set up with fascinating displays, which take us back in time. An original convict built stone well is also on the property and a dry stonewall display is a fantastic feature surrounded by lawns.
We welcome our guests to share in this piece of unique history.
