The complex, on 15 acres (plus a further 12 bush acres) with 2 street frontages, is a replica of an Australian Federation village. You can stay at the village bank, the school house, police station, church, or general store.

Within each property lies the opportunity for guests to soak up some fascinating Australian history, all within a luxuriously furnished, old world environment.

The cottages are all AAA 4 ½ star rated, and each includes a fully equipped kitchen, heated spa, air-conditioning, linen, toiletries and private barbeque.
Although set up for couples, arrangements can be made to comfortably accommodate another couple or children. All cottages are pet-friendly.

With privacy from the other cottages, which are approximately 50 to 100 metres apart- it’s a bit like having your own weekender tucked away in the bush somewhere special. This is a truly unique Australian experience - there is nothing like this.

The owners’ home is a comfortable 3 bedroom dwelling surrounding an in-ground pool. It contains a lounge, dining and family areas, 2 bathrooms, I ensuite, a large timber country kitchen. The building is in excellent condition.
