    The cottage is lovely. Freshly baked bread and delicious home made jams and a lovely breakfast hamper were much appreciated. We were greeted by the friendly geese and ducks as we sat on the deck. A very relaxing stay.

This charming cottage has been completely renovated in 2020 and across the lake is our home and family of six, a menagerie of ducks, hens, geese, guinea fowl, cattle and the local kangaroo’s, wallabies, kookaburras, cockatoos etc. Only 10 minutes from the centre of Dubbo and 5 minutes’ drive from Taronga Western Plains Zoo and a perfect destination for a “get away from it all” or home away from home. Nil cleaning or surcharges applied. The space Our guests have their own privacy and space, and outside offers a verandah to sit and take in the beautiful sunsets, veggie garden to pick fresh produce from, a large fire pit for evening star gazing or in the cooler months a fire and toasted marshmallows. When the air is still, you can sometimes even hear the monkeys’ from the zoo. Inside the cottage, there's a fully equipped kitchenette, lounge, bathroom, queen bedroom and a room full of amateur radio's collected over the past 25 years. The resident cat Violette or even Rory may come to say hello and Violette is such a gorgeous thing (perhaps favoured over Rory). The lounge area has reverse cycle cooling and heating to cater for all four seasons. Please enjoy the WiFi and Chrome casting for all your music and television desires plus Regional Lifestyle and Country Style magazines to inspire your very own country dream. You will find fresh seasonal flowers from the garden to welcome you upon arrival. The kitchenette has a 2 burner gas cooktop with pots/pans and utensils and a small fridge. Local produce is provided for breakfasts including fresh on farm laid eggs from the girls and homemade jams for you to prepare and enjoy. There’s a microwave, tea and pod coffee facilities, and toaster with fresh bread and croissants. There is a selection of local wine and beer for afternoon delights available at an additional charge.
