Perfect place for the family to get together over the holidays.

Awesome experience. Will visit again.

We spent eight unforgettable nights here—a peaceful retreat from the bustle of life in Penrith, Sydney. It was just the four of us: my wife Marianni, our dog Keio, and my cousin Martine. From the moment we arrived, the house greeted us with warmth—both from the fireplace already lit, and the tidy, well-cared-for spaces that immediately felt like home.Each morning began with a quiet walk at sunrise, just us and the wide open sky, with Keio joyfully leading the way. In the evenings, we lit the fire pit and gathered around to roast marshmallows and enjoy simple barbecued meals, camping style. A glass of wine by the indoor fire, watching a film as the wind whispered outside, made winter here something magical.The sunrises and sunsets are truly breathtaking—nature’s theatre right at your doorstep. This place is more than just a house; it’s a little pocket of stillness and beauty, and we are deeply grateful for the time we spent here.We’ll definitely return.

Few km’s of dirt road on arrival and Apple Maps takes you to the front door. We parked at the back door which made it very easy to unpack. Conveniently, the back door opens onto a ‘mud room’ and bathrooms. A fully equipped kitchen with coffee pods after the long drive was a delightful addition. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and the kids loved the playroom with toys, colouring and books. The fireplace was stacked and ready to go and very romantic to sit in front of together after the kids were in bed. We watched moonrise in each others arms and sunrise as a whole family overlooking the vast landscape whilst listening to the bleating sheep and lambs surrounding us. The firepit looked very inviting and we will bring marshmallows on our next stay. A short drive back into town (Koorawatha) had us eating Dutch pancakes at the show ground for morning tea. Provided visitors guides made it very easy for us to plan our days in Cowra and great novels and some games for adults helped us unwind. We are sad to leave really and hope to return same time next year (hopefully Iandra Castle is open next trip). Thank you to our host’s.
