About this property

WATERSHED Robertson - a chic shed conversion

WATERSHED Robertson is a brand new chic shed conversion farmstay, located on a family property on the edge of Robertson village.

This was a machinery shed that has been completely modernised and fully insulated and fitted with double glazed windows. Total of 90sqm inside.

Downstairs consists of a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need for a weekend or a week long stay. Pantry is well stocked including pasta and sauces to always be sure you'll eat, no matter what time your arrival.
There is a dishwasher, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, full size fridge freezer.

The breakfast bar offers an informal dining option.

The shed is heated by slow combustion wood fire and there is an endless supply of wood and kindling to keep you going throughout your stay. Get comfy by the fire.
We have a smart TV so you can watch the free to air channels (because of trees we sometimes have difficulty getting C7) plus allowing you to watch your netflix account. There is a small bose blue tooth speaker as well as a dvd player.

Yes there is free WiFi.

Also downstairs is the feather filled sofa bed to sleep 2 adults.

The dining table sits by the window allowing views outside. There are 4 dining chairs but extra dining chairs can easily be pulled in from the outside table.

The bathroom is downstairs and has a large semi open shower. We supply turkish towels. Under the sink you will find basic toiletries in case you get caught out having forgotten something. The washing machine is in the bathroom and the clothes dryer is outside in the wood shed. There are also airing racks in the outside storage area.

Under the stairs we have our 'Harry Potter' cupboard where you will find an iron and mini ironing board and tool kit.

Upstairs to the sleeping zone, we have a kingsize bed and 2 singles - all with electric blankets and feather donnas. All beds upstairs will be made up with fresh linen. We can squeeze in an extra single bed up there on request.

The sleeping loft has an open balcony to the downstairs. There is a safety rail but if you have a climbing child you will need to be very careful.

There are extra blankets should you need them.

There are a couple of alpacas and sheep on the property. As well as 2 friendly dogs who will want to visit and say hello - and plenty of free ranging chickens (who will likely also visit you) - guaranteeing you the freshest eggs for breakfast. And occasionally you might find a horse staying with us too.

The main house is 80+ metres away from your accomodation, ensuring you total privacy for the duration of your stay. The main house was one of the original homes in Robertson, built in 1888, and was then part of a 300 acre dairy farm. Today the farmhouse stands on 5 acres and is undergoing a reno May/Jun/July 2022. Nothing major but midweek bookings may hear some noise

Outside there is a table with 8 chairs, bbq and fire pit (assuming no fire ban) for those relaxing evenings star gazing.

We are a 2 minute drive into Robertson and ideally located for Burrawang (5 min), Carrington Falls (12 mins), Bowral (20 mins), Moss Vale (15 mins). Also Kiama is within 30 mins driving time.

Bring your beach towels for water dips at Carrington or beach days at Kiama.

Robertson is a beautiful part of the world, with green rolling hills. We have high rainfall and can grow just about anything here!
The village has everything you need, great cafes, pub, pizza restaurant, fuel, bakery, general store. We also have 'The Big Potato'. The movie 'Babe' was filmed in Robertson and surrounding areas.

We have a 2 night minimum booking but will consider 1 night bookings during the week or at weekends when the abut an existing booking. Price will be $450 plus Stayz fees for 1 night. Please message to discuss. We request 3 nights for public holiday/long weekend bookings and 4 nights at Easter.

We're constantly improving our property and are committed to offering the best facilities to guarantee a relaxing and memorable break. We value feed back.

Any questions please send us an enquiry, always happy to help and we look forward to welcoming you.

Escape from the city
Had a lovely weekend escape from the City! Had a cosy, relaxing weekend exploring the Southern Highlands and enjoying toasty warm evenings with the fireplace. Everything we could need had been provided, we would very happily stay again!

Easter Long Weekend Getaway
The Watershed was a beautiful play to stay! It was comfortable, cosy and clean. Zoe was a great host. The kids and our dog loved the outdoor areas, in particular the flying fox and trampoline. There are so many places to visit in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend!

Zoe’s apartment was a great find and comes highly recommended .
We had a great stay at Zoe’s watershed . The shed had been converted into an awesome apartment - the kitchen is perfect and the whole look and feel of the apartment is a pleasure to stay in . It is fully fenced too so was great to have our dogs stay too . Zoe was quick to respond to messages and we would highly recommend as a place to stay . Zoe has great taste in decor and it was very cleverly designed and presented .

This was our second stay at the Watershed and once again it didn't disappoint in anything. It was clean, comfortable to stay in, great comfy beds and so many little thought of inclusions that just made our stay a little easier. The bread, eggs, milk and port all come in handy at various times in the stay.

About the host

A family of 5, tree changers from Sydney (originally Yorkshire and London), loving the life in Robertson and the Southern Highlands.

Why they chose this property

This was a beautiful piece of land neglected over many, many years. We're chipping away at it bit by bit, to bring it back to something wonderful. The shed conversion was one of the first things we have completed and of which we are incredible proud.

What makes this property unique

You will drive down a tree lined driveway, which really gives the sense of 'arrival'. And the signs will lead you to Watershed, your private, home away from home for however long you're lucky enough to be staying.
