Rust & Timber Farm Stay

A guest favourite for those seeking peace, open spaces and authentic country charm.

Rust & Timber Farm Stay is a charming self-catering cottage located just 5km from the small historic town of Emmaville in the Northern Tablelands of NSW. Set on 500 acres of a working Dorper sheep farm, this peaceful rural retreat offers the perfect place to slow down, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

The cottage features two bedrooms, one bathroom and a kitchenette, comfortably accommodating couples, friends or small families seeking a relaxing farm escape. Thoughtfully renovated to highlight its rustic character, Rust & Timber blends timber, country charm and modern comfort.

Spend your days exploring the surrounding region, known for its rich mining history, fossicking spots and great fishing, or simply stay close to home and enjoy the open spaces and fresh country air. Take in spectacular sunrises over the paddocks, cool off in the plunge pool on warm afternoons, and settle in for sunset drinks on the verandah before gathering around the open fire on cooler evenings.

As this is a working sheep farm, you may see or hear farm activities during your stay. There are other dwellings located on the property, however privacy and respect for all guests and residents is important to us, ensuring a peaceful and enjoyable experience for everyone.

Rust & Timber Farm Stay offers a unique opportunity to experience authentic country living while enjoying the comfort of a private rural getaway.

Had the most relaxing stay here! The host was so lovely and attentive but also great with privacy. The house was easy to find, clean, and really well furnished. It had everything we needed and more for a getaway- we will definitely be back!

I’m a mother of two, a wife, and a business partner who is now embracing a new chapter running our sheep farm and farm stay on 500 acres in the Northern Tablelands. Life here is centred around the beauty of wide open spaces, fresh country air, and the simple rhythms of nature. I have always been drawn to the serenity that the land offers and love creating spaces that allow others to slow down and experience it too. One of my greatest passions is renovating old buildings, restoring their character and bringing new life into them so they can be enjoyed for years to come. Our farm and farm stay is a reflection of that passion, a place where guests can reconnect with nature, enjoy the peaceful surroundings, and experience the charm of country life.

Town Trails Local Tales Explore Glen Innes On Foot

Glen Innes is a charming town steeped in Celtic heritage and makes for a perfect slow morning adventure. We started our day at The Local, for a warm drink and hearty breakfast, just what you need on a chilly highlands morning. From there, we wandered over to the Visitor Information Centre and picked up a walking map that guides you past the town’s beautifully preserved heritage buildings, each with its own story to tell. Before heading out, we swung by the local bakery to grab a couple of pies for the road. Good food, local history, and easy exploring.

Celtic Circle The Australian Standing Stones

Just outside of Glen Innes, the Australian Standing Stones are a unique monument that honours the Celtic heritage woven into this region’s identity. Wandering through the stone circle feels like stepping into another world, quiet, timeless, and full of meaning. After taking time to read the plaques, follow the nearby path up to the Skywalk Lookout, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views over the rolling New England Tablelands.

Wandering Beardy Waters Nature Reserve

On the edge of Glen Innes, the Beardy Waters Nature Reserve offers peaceful walking trails and the chance to spot native birdlife. We wandered along the quiet paths, soaking up the stillness and watching for flashes of movement among the trees. The waters of the dam provide a scenic backdrop, with plenty of spots to pause for a picnic or simply sit and enjoy the quiet.
