Set on fifty acres between pine forests and the historic Oberon-Tarana rail trail, Frogspark has five bedrooms- two with a queen bed, 2 with adouble bed and one with a double and a single with a trundle. In addition there are seven comfortable convertable beds in living areas

A large deck overlooking the dam is fitted out for entertaining with a large table setting, barbeque and herbs and vegetables to pick!
Along the Oberon / Tarana rail trail, town is an easy 20 minute cycle away. Bring your own bikes or we can arrange discounted bike hire and suggest wonderful adventures. With plenty of room to run around on the property, children are very welcome but care must be taken near dams.

Get in touch with nature at Frogspark

Frogspark provides comfort whilst being kind to the envirnoment. The home's passive solar design provides warmth and sunlight as well as beautiful views whilst the back to grid solar array, solar hot water system and rainwater supply further reduce its carbon footprint. Care is taken in provisioning and cleaning to avoid harsh chemicals and local products are used wherever possible.
We have been rewarded in turn with an abundance of wildlife including kangaroos, water birds and importantly at least 5 species of frogs indicating that Frogspark is indeed treading lightly!

  • "We've just had a wonderful week stay at Frogspark. The home is in a beautiful setting, we enjoyed the views from the large rear windows and the deck. Inside was very comfortable & warm even though it was frosty outside. We enjoyed the walks in the forest, cycling on the bike trail,relaxing, watching deer,kangaroos & ducks, & cosy evenings playing games. Very comfortably held all 16 of us. Would love to return someday for another family get together. Thank you Jenny and Kevin!"

  • " We had a 40th B'day girls retreat here with 10 ladies and it was perfect. The greeting of kangaroos driving in and the surrounding scenery instantly made you feel relaxed, at home and excited to be there. The open living space, the equipped gourmet kitchen, the floor heating and the spacious outdoor dining area gave it a luxurious and warm atmosphere that all enjoyed. I especially loved the large windows overlooking the beautiful property, allowing you to watch and be part of the day, seeing the mist rise in the morning, to bathing in the day's sun, to hiding from the cool wind in the afternoon. The forest next door, the stunning autumn trees, the rolling hills in the background and the ducks on the dam allowed you to breathe and reconnect with the world, others and yourself (especially when viewing it from the hot spa!). The owners were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They answered my many questions promptly, and recommended places I could go. I enjoyed their special touches around the house, like a self serve garden, free access to their pantry and complimentary tea and ground coffee which was generous, personal and again homely. Bedding and towels were provided making us feel spoilt. We also ventured in to the quaint town of Oberon nearby and enjoyed a spot of op shopping and charming cafes. I could easily recommend and promote this as a place to visit or getaway. Thanks Frogspark!"

  • "We had a group of 16 here and had a fabulous weekend. The state forest next door is great to walk through and the open field behind the house great to play games in. Had lots of fun and would definitely go back. "
