Canowindra Getaway

Our family took a short holiday away from sydney. The property is located a short drive in to canowindra but far enough to experience the peace and quiet of the country. We loved the property and it was perfect for our 2+ years old to ride his bike and walk around whilst seeing kangaroos and sheep. We had a lovely relaxing trip.

Wow factor plus

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything from the outdoor fire pit and the indoor fireplace to the outdoor bath! An incredible experience overall. Stargazing while soaking in the tub was very special. Sally was a perfect host and provided everything we needed to make this a memorable stay. The gift basket was a very special touch. The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. We’ll definitely be back.

Its the little things

Arriving late in the winter, our wonderful hosts had made sure the cottage was ready for our arrival. The little things like heating turned on to take off the chill and having the electric blankets ready for us was a pleasant surprise...immediate smiles on our dials 😁. Weve had the pleasure of staying here before and just like the first time there was no disappointment at all. Everything was stocked and ready to go throughout and we were super impressed with the kitchen in its entirety....crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and even the herbs and spices (we love cooking with flavour so the amount of herbs and spices was more than we could ask for). We love staying here as its historic and so close to our family. Thank you so much, we will certainly be regulars!!!
