Scribbly Gum cottage is beautiful and rustic, a renovated original settlers cottage relocated to Kangaroo Valley in the 1990's and lovingly restored. There are rural views from every cottage window. Our place is perfect for couples who love a rustic country feel, with a cute little fire pit out the back.
There is nothing better than watching the sunset from our lovely cottage. Kangaroo Valley is known for how bright the stars shine at night.
Our beautiful, rustic cottage also comes with air-conditioning and heating, to help with the cool Winter nights and the heat of Summer - it's perfect all year around! The cottage comes with basic kitchen amenities, as well as some of our lovely fresh, free-range eggs.
The property is surrounded by amazing views of the Kangaroo Valley escarpment, which is particularly picturesque in the evenings. There is a rural view from each cottage window over our farm and the neighbouring property.
You have your own space around the cottage and a paved area outside with a fire pit. There is off-street parking right next to the cottage.
Inside the cottage, there are basic amenities including a bathroom and kitchenette as well as a bedroom and lounge/ dining and kitchen area.
The kitchen includes basic cooking facilities, there is a single hot plate, microwave, fridge, and sink. There is also a bbq outside!
There is air conditioning and heating, and the cottage is fully insulated and electric blanket for winter.
THINGS TO KNOW
*Checkin details will be sent either the night before checking in, or the morning of check-in for security reasons.
*We are a working farm, we have 8000 chickens that produce lovely eggs in a true free range set up. Our girls are moved onto fresh grass twice a week to allow them the best access to grass, bugs and new places to explore. We used to have them at home, but now the livestock part of the farm is a few kms down the road.
*We do run the processing component of the farm from the big shed you pass on the way in. This means there are always people coming and going, although every care is taken to minimise disturbance to the cottage.
*If you want to know more about our little farm you can see us online at Kangaroo Valley Pastured Eggs!
*There is a large mulch pile at the start of the driveway. We also run Delicious Gardens, Kangaroo Valley. Our gardeners will make sure that disturbance is minimal, however, it should be noted that you may see some of our friendly staff near the mulch pile!
*We have a lovely farm dog called Indi, as well as two young goats. They may pass the cottage when in the yard. They are all super friendly, and we welcome you to say hello to all our farm animals!
*Due to the recent reports of Foot and Mouth Disease, we ask all international guests to follow the Biosecurity Rules of the Government. This is usually indicated on your Visa details as part of the requirements. We love our farm animals and try to look after them as much as possible!
* We only provide 1 set of keys for each stay. We do not have extra sets.
