About this house rental

Nestled in Oberon, this attractive house for $205 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Follow us @wombaleefarm A rustic home with a mountain-cabin feel, set high on a hill and nestled in the trees, Wombalee Farm is a peaceful retreat for families, couples or friends. Our farm is a perfect base for exploring the spectacular Mayfield Gardens, Jenolan Caves and Kanangra-Boyd National Park. Or simply curl up on the couch and enjoy a log fire, the high country seasons and amazing views through our oversized window. Wombalee Farm is set on approx 70 acres overlooking the beautiful Tarana Valley. We are 10 minutes from Oberon, 10 minutes from Tarana, and approx 30 minutes to Bathurst. The home has three bedrooms - one with a queen bed, one with a double bed, and a large room with a single, a king single, and a single bunk bed. There are two trundle beds which can squeeze in extra guests on request. There is one large bathroom (no bath) and a seperate laundry. The living space is open and features a well equipped kitchen (no dishwasher), a large dining table and comfortable seating by the log fire/TV. There is also a reading nook with a huge window which captures amazing views towards Mount Tarana and Evans Crown, and overlooking the valley and surrounding farmland. On the deck there is a large swinging egg chair which is the ideal place to enjoy a good book or a glass of wine. There's also and an outdoor table and chairs for meals or drinks plus a terrace area with a BBQ and fire pit which also captures the amazing views. We will leave you enough firewood for a fire per day of your stay, and there is plenty of kindling to collect from around the property. Additional firewood can be purchased in town if you burn through your allocation. You will have sole use of the house and have complete privacy during your stay. The garage will be available for use throughout your stay, but there is no access to the large farm shed. You are welcome to explore the property during your stay, but please remember to leave gates as you find them, and be careful near the livestock. Whist our small herd of Speckle Parks have a lovely temperament, our calves are still getting used to people so please exercise caution. There may be the occasional need for some farm work to take place while guests are staying at Wombalee Farm. We will ensure your privacy is respected, but you may see a farm vehicle or our farm manager in the paddocks from time-to-time. Other things to note: As there is only one bathroom, this property is best suited to families with children or smaller groups of adults. Bookings for 8 adults may be considered, but more details will be required before the booking is approved. There are two dams on the property. One is within approx 100m of the house and is not fenced. Please be mindful of this if you have young children. We are, however, set up for children and have toys, DVDs, swings, a trampoline and plenty to keep them entertained while at Wombalee. A port-a-cot, highchair and MacPac hiking backpack are also available for use if required. WiFi is also a bit hit-and-miss. Phone reception is great for both Optus and Telstra, but during peak times the internet service can be slow and unsuitable for streaming services. The driveway to the house is a dirt road, but accessible for 2WD vehicles. Access to the paddocks is best done on foot to avoid the steep terrain and getting bogged. Oberon is known to get cold in winter (and you might even see snow). Please bring your winter woolies! We have heaters in each of the bedrooms. The main living area can be cold first thing in the morning, but can be quickly heated up with the reverse cycle air conditioner and a log fire. This is a rural area and we are surrounded by wildlife who call this part of the world their home. This includes (but not limited to): kangaroos, deer, echidnas, wombats, frogs, birds, skinks, lizards, mice, rats, snakes, spiders, midges, mosquitoes, flies, beetles, native bees, native wasps and rabbits. We provide a can of insect spray under the kitchen sink if you see an insect that you don’t like. The occasional spider in the house is considered normal. On bushwalks, you might encounter lizards and snakes; more so in Spring and Summer. Guests accept this and take responsibility for their safety. We cannot control the wildlife. If you make a booking at Wombalee Farm we assume that you’ve read this information and agree to our policy regarding ‘pests’. Cancellations by you before, during or after your stay due to ‘pests’ will not be refunded.

We had a lovey relaxing time sat on the verandah in the morning watching the birds, roos and even a dear and her fawn. The kids loved the swings, toys and the hammock in the garage

Wow what a view! Could watch the valley all day. Enjoyed day trips, and the day at home ( minus 9 brrr) we remained cosy and warm and watched the clouds. Well stocked kitchen, this farmhouse has all that you need. We even watched a joey doing zoomies from the window! We and our puppies loved our 5 nights, thank you.

listing was exactly what we were after for a winter get away from the city. facilities were excellent and as promised or better than on the listing which was a lovely surprise. fireplaces were superb and the views and walks in the valley just what we were after. highly recommend for an escape from the bRIght lights - the colder the better as this house is made for roaring fires and shiraz !

This property is an absolute hidden gem - the photos of the views from the house are eclipsed by the actual view. Communication with the property owner was very good - they were very helpful with our dog request and instructions on how to find the property. The house itself is huge and we'll definitely return with a larger group for a long weekend. The fireplace makes the living area and the reading nook is amazing - the natural light and views are priceless. The kitchen facilities are excellent - a huge variety of crockery and pans meant this keen cook was able to produce great fare all weekend Breakfast on the deck every morning was fantastic 100% have already shared this gem with friends looking for a great getaway
