We were so lucky to find this available when our English family visited. Comfortable and quiet, yet convenient to all the delights of the area, they left with the best of memories. Thanks for helping make their trip a special one. The Christmas tree was a lovely thoughtful touch, too. ##### Richard S. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Wendy W. 23 Nov 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### was a magnificent mansion but sadly it was of need of care and attention. Access was via a potholed road to the back of the house, which lacked any positive impresion as we were greeted by two very dirty rubbish bins outside the gate and then it only got worse when we opened the door and were overcome by a horrid musty old house odour. As for the stained mattress protectors on the bed, absolutely disgusting!! I only hope that these problems have been corrected for the people staying during the coming weeks.

People friendly everywhere we had dinner at local pub, nice also Candelo pub great meal also. Great day trips to other towns in vicinity, so much to do and see. ##### Brian M.

Beautiful Australian cedar. Kitchen area could have benefited with a heater as it was pretty cool. Otherwise very good. ##### John D. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Scott M. 18 Apr 2021 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Heritage beauty on the outside The listing made it look and sound like it's a luxury getaway. But it's not. Really it's an old heritage building next to a farm. Beautiful on the outside, dark and basic on the inside. It's got a small lounge which means there isn't much of a communal area to relax in on rainy days. And the lack of oven definitely limited family meals. Otherwise location and farm are great. Kids loved feeding the animals. Lots of nature on your doorstep. Great walks and cycling around Pimbula. ##### Scott M. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helen S. 12 Apr 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### A Slice of History The Homestead is an amazing historic house in a pretty setting. It is nicely furnished and we enjoyed sitting on the back verandah in the sun. The staff were very helpful in replacing the faulty TV the day after we checked in. We understand that it is a very old house, and that there had been heavy rains recently, but the strong musty smell throughout made me feel ill and we left a day early. We kept all the screened doors and windows open 24/7 and it did improve during our time there, so perhaps the house could be aired prior to guests arriving. The bathrooms and kitchen are in need of updating, and a good microwave would be useful, given that there is no oven. The decorative touches and furnishings do provide a sense of grandeur and comfort, and it is an experience to stay here. We can understand why many people love it. ##### Helen S.

It’s incredibly peaceful and tranquil and surrounded by beautiful paddocks full of friendly farm animals. The homestead is such a unique property that has been lovingly restored in keeping with it’s history. There’s really nothing like coming back after a long day of sightseeing and sitting on the porch and watching the birds and other wildlife go by. Just up the driveway is the Oakland’s barn with a fantastic cafe, gallery and garden Centre, all run by incredibly friendly staff. We can’t wait to return to the homestead. ##### Svetlana M.

Its really family friendly and the kids just love exploring the gardens and walking up to see the animals. The house itself is very nicely furnished and has a lovely country / heritage charm to it. ##### Nathan F.

We all had a wonderful time at this property! It was nice and peaceful, but only a short walk to the main street and a quick drive to the beach. The kids loved the property and feeding all the animals. We would highly recommend this property! ##### Lisa M.

Pambula has some great little eats and is a short distance to the beach which was perfect for kids. We didn’t visit the oaklands nursery, cafe or brewery adjoining the property, there were a few tourist buses pulling in. Thanks Claire for a very relaxing couple of days ! ##### Annabel U.

We loved the interior of the property and the surrounds, particularly the old oak and olive trees. Everything that we needed was provided. We appreciated the book giving the history of the area. It was very interesting reading. We used the Homestead as a base to explore Pambula and the northern part of Ben Boyd National Park. We would certainly return to the Homestaed if visiting the area again. ##### Nicola S.

Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### MARGARET V. 7 Apr 2018 #### Homestead The break and holiday was great, we would have liked a bit more detail about arrival say 2 days before we got there , but the people at the shop were very helpful, All in all it was great. did you find our departure left the place in good order? ##### MARGARET V. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anne G. 4 Apr 2018 #### Oaklands Homdstead is a beautiful original old Aaustralian Homestead with wooded garden . Awaken to a chorus of birdsong and the lowing of grazing cows. Take your morning hot drink for a walk through the garden and say good morning to a horse wandering with the cows. The coffee shop at the event centre has marvellous breakfast served by cheerful folks, the nursery is laden with temptations. Arriving home after a day of sightseeing, call in at the brewery for an afternoon refreshment before returning to your homestead to watch TV, DVD, listen to music or hideaway in comfy corners to read and relax in total peace and quiet. ##### Anne G. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Bill W. 4 Jul 2015 #### Wonderful Experience! We enjoyed our stay at Oaklands; it was like stepping back in time. The owners had added many extra things to make the stay unique. We were so delighted to have Kangaroos in our front yard both evening and morning. The farm walk was lovely, and we purchased a painting at the art gallery on site. ##### Bill W. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Montego Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Riu-Montego-Bay-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h2062016.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near San Siro Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Siro-Stadium-Hotels.0-l553248635947667669-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Cars ### Activities ### General ---
