This converted dairy is the ideal choice for a couple looking to take a holiday in complete isolation, far away from busy highways with no neighbours except the cows.
Every morning you can make a cuppa in the modern kitchen with kangaroos hopping past through the field, and sit outside in the fresh air gazing at the trees, rolling hills and green mountains in the near distance. You can stretch your legs by wandering the 175-acre property or take a short stroll to Kangaroo Valley Pie Shop for a snack.
In the evenings you’ll be cosy inside with the spacious rain-head shower and combustion fireplace with a plentiful supply of chopped logs and kindling, and you can cook a romantic meal on the induction cooktop or the bbq outside. There are dozens of DVDs to choose from to cosy up on the couch and watch on the TV, or you can light a candle and put on some music to spend some quality time just enjoying the view.
The township of Kangaroo Valley is just a few minutes drive away with quaint shops, a candy store and a friendly pub to while away the hours. You’ll spend your leisurely days in each other’s company at The Dairy, happily disconnected from the outside world, enjoying all the beauty of nature with the luxuries of modern comforts.

Most amazing holiday home we have ever stayed in!
The views are absolutely stunning, with the glorious sun coming in all day through the large windows that look out on the valley and mountains.
The indoor fire place definitely makes this amazing stay even better!

Absolutely loved the property and location. Nice and quiet spot to disconnect from everything. Only a few minutes drive to the local shops which has a very nice cafe with good brekky and top notch bakery that serves awesome fresh pies
Great views, lovely ambience whilst sitting in the lounge room unwinding. Great as a solo getaway retreat or for a few days away with that someone special.
Don’t forget to say hi to the gots for me when you arrive.

The Dairy@Cavan gave us what we needed, peace, tranquility, and relaxation. A beautifully thought out & decked out little cottage for 2. Had all we needed. Loved every minute there.

Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted that The Dairy@Cavan provided the peace, tranquillity, and relaxation you were looking for. It’s wonderful to hear the cottage had everything you needed and that you enjoyed every moment of your stay. We hope to welcome you back for another serene getaway!
The Dairy was a perfect escape in Kangaroo Valley. It was private, extremely clean and warm on a rainy weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed, lovely fire with plenty of wood and the best far-reaching views over the valley. Great communication and easy check-in. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Thanks so much for leaving us a stellar review. We’re happy that you chose to stay with us, and hope to have you back again soon.
Relaxing getaway in great location, with beautiful views. Roomy and pretty fully equipped.
Minor downsides - no dryer but clothes horse worked when it was warm. The bath was nice but the spa wasn't working.

Thanks for leaving us a great review. It makes us happy to know you enjoyed your stay so much. The bath does not function as a spa but is not listed as such. We look forward to having you again.
Excellent accomodation for a weekend away from the chaos of city living. Clean, cozy, secluded, well-maintained and well-managed. One very small and comparatively insignificant request would be to have actual olive oil in the pantry opposed to vegetable oil decanted into an olive oil bottle… such great foodie area, would be great to support local and showcase a few inexpensive items at the property.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re happy to hear you had a lovely stay, and can’t wait to have you back with us on your next holiday. Your feedback is appreciated and we will pass this on
the property is overall good. it is easy to access and near by downtown. only one thing i don't like is the mattress which is really uncomfortable. i could not sleep and feel cold.
The location and property are fantastic. Highly recommended. A couple of things to note: very minimal firewood was supplied, so if you like to run the fire for atmosphere rather than the A/C you’ll need to arrange more wood. Linens were high quality but sparse. Two towels only, no spares. No rugs or blankets provided other than one on the bed. If you like to curl up on the coach or sit out on the gorgeous terrace under a rug you’ll need to bring your own. Also the town of Kangaroo Valley has very limited options for food other than the pub bistro and couple of cafes. Very hard to find anything vegetarian. Suggest you stock up with provisions and be prepared to cook for yourself rather than eat out in town.

From the moment we drove up the tree lined driveway to The Dairy we started to relax. Such a beautiful escape with an amazing view. Loved watching the cows! The Dairy is perfect for a couple. Very clean & comfortable. A well equipped kitchen & wonderful fireplace that kept the cottage warm all night. Highly recommend a visit.

Hi Roma, thanks for your feedback. The Dairy is mainly booked as a weekender, we don't often get lengthy stays here as it's a couples relaxing weekend getaway!
Beautiful private setting with an incredible view down the valley. The updated barn is stylishly renovated and is perfectly set for a weekend get away.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and for the wonderful review. We work hard to make every holiday enjoyable, so it’s great to hear you had a fantastic time.
This property is delightful - well presented and beautifully laid out. If you get a clear night, the stars are magical (pro tip: take some blankets to rug up outside - glass of wine and stars - perfect!). The bathroom is amazing, the balcony- living area space is fabulous and the outlook is incredible!
The one thing I wish I’d known is that the property has a lot of heavy machinery etc on site, which appeared to me to be permanent. Mostly, you don’t see or hear this (the property is designed really well) but twice in the four nights I was there a truck (I think) would be left idling for half an hour or longer, and really set my teeth on edge. For context, that’s an hour or so out of four nights, in what was otherwise a divine break.
I’d go back!

The stars and wine sound totally dreamy Margaret! The machinery is definitely not a permanent thing, we'll check with the owner on that, we haven't had other guests mention it. Thanks again and we're glad you enjoyed The Dairy.
The Dairy is a comfortable and unique place for a couple to experience a wonderful getaway with breathtaking views and all the comforts. Apart from the tv not working we have no issues and would highly recommend it.
