About your local community:
Uralla is a small historic country town, half way between Sydney and Brisbane on the New England Highway. There are a number of great cafes, our very own New England Brewery, boutiques and antique stores and the McCrossin's Mill Museum.
The fossicking area is a stunning area for a walk or swim in the summer months, as well trying your luck panning for gold.
New England High Country has over 500 kilometres of wild and scenic rivers. The national parks in the region offer everything from bush walking to bouldering, mountain biking to canyoning, even kayaking and canoeing. Rolling hills, waterfalls galore (including the famous Waterfall Way). See the granite outcrops at Cathedral Rock, or all the way to the Pacific Ocean from Point Lookout, which also offers stunning views of unspoilt wilderness.
What is your favourite thing to do at this property:
After a day in the garden, playing a game of Bocce before lighting the fire pit and relaxing with a sundowner and watching the sun set.
What is your favourite trip close by:
A short drive to the National parks near Armidale or Walcha for some bushwalking and waterfall viewing in the New England gorge country.
Guests should not forget to pack their….walking shoes and binoculars.
How did you come to to offer accommodation in the bush?
After many years in the hospitality industry, owning cafes in the Blue Mountains, Armidale and Uralla, my wife and I wanted to share our magical little spot in Uralla with others. With the help of Nick, our local builder, and Alex from Edwards McRae Interior Architectural Design, we converted one of our farm sheds to a luxurious space to stay.
