    We absolutely loved the location of the property, and finding the cottage situated amongst the sheep & lambs was a wonderful immersive experience. Being so close to town and the numerous coffee shops was an extra bonus.

Sharee & Bill
Your hosts are traditional sheep breeders, Bill and Sharee Darmody, who share a strong connection to the land. Their farming enterprise consists of wool and prime lambs and the pair run about 4,000 sheep over 2,000 acres. For the past three decades the hard-working pair have called "Wantana" home. It is where they've raised their three children and breed sheep, which graze over the rolling hills. Since opening the farm stay in November 2015 they've had plenty of "lovely and interesting guests" who constantly remind the Darmody's of just how blessed they are to live in this part of the world. "We love to explain and show, when we can, the running of our farm," says Sharee, who is fit, fun and focused. "The difference between different sheep breeds, how wool is produced and where the lamb chops on their plate comes from. We enjoy meeting different people from all walks of life and letting them experience our little slice of heaven." At Our Country Cottage you will be staying in was originally a Jackaroo quarters that has now been Renovated into a cosy little 3 bedroom blue cottage with yard and BBQ facilities. A welcome hamper of home-made bread straight out of the oven and farm fresh eggs from out chooks, with butter, and milk will be waiting for you on your arrival
We both love country life and like to keep fit and healthy. Sharee also runs a fitness business teaching Pilates and taking groups walking and hiking. We are passionate about our farm, our family and the country life. We decided to open our farmstay, so we could show all our lovely guests, just how special it is to live here, with lots of open spaces to run, lovely clean air to breath and our spectacular sky at night to enjoy with a glass of wine or beer.
