Great getaway - highly recommended

Lovely spot and the house was perfect for a comfortable getaway. Everything you need is included (Cooking / linen / BBQ etc.), with a lovely flowing river at the back of the property and plenty of space as part of the stay.

Gorgeous Cottage in a stunning private location!

You will not be disappointed if you stay in this gorgeous cottage! It has everything you need for a comfortable stay to get away from it all! We loved exploring along the river bank and around the property with the kids. The property was easy to get to just 20 minutes from Bathurst. Sarah was a great host, very easy to communicate with and gave great instructions to the property.

Just what we needed

We loved our stay at Maru Park. A great location allowing us to feel free and escape the busyness of life while not being too far out of town. The house was ideal for us, equipped with what we needed and we arrived to a fire already going. There was plenty to explore and the kids loved visiting the creek. There was a lot of excitement each day as we drove down the driveway saying hello to all the sheep who watched as we passed and trying to find the little black lamb with the white tail. Our short stay was just what we needed for our little family and we look forward to doing it again.
