Pet-friendly
Experience the joy of rural NSW at our beautiful timber cottage—a cozy, light, and spacious retreat that offers both rustic charm and modern conveniences. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we now feature a 7KW EV charger on the property and warmly welcome guests with electric vehicles.

Your perfect getaway awaits in this authentic rural experience that truly feels like a home away from home. You'll stay in the warmth and comfort of a lovingly restored old schoolhouse crafted entirely from Australian timbers. Enjoy scenic views of the surrounding farmland from your private accommodation, which stands quite separate from the main house. The schoolhouse is thoughtfully appointed with a comfortable extra-long double bed, a charming kitchen featuring a natural red gum benchtop, and a pristine ensuite bathroom.

During your stay, we invite you to learn about our expansive regenerative farming practices at Wallendbeen Park Farm. We embrace the privilege of producing healthy, nutritious food while caring for the land. Our free-range pigs roam alongside a thriving herd of cattle and a flock of Wiltipoll sheep, all managed in a planned grazing system. Our commitment to sustainability extends throughout our operation—our land remains free from fertilizers, insecticides, and herbicides, creating a truly natural environment for both our animals and our guests to enjoy.

Additional Information

SCHOOLHOUSE DETAILS
The schoolhouse is a beautiful cosy getaway, an open plan space with a very comfortable double bed, a small but well-appointed kitchen and a very nice ensuite bathroom. The comfy couch folds out to make an extra bed for an additional guest if required.

The outside veranda & paved garden area is your own space to have a morning coffee, a glass of wine and a BBQ in the evening or to stargaze at night. In the winter months, we are happy for guests to light up the fire pit, cook a meal over the open fire and toast a few marshmallows.

When you arrive we will give you a full orientation of the accommodation and we are available to answer any questions about our farm or what's on in the surrounding region.

We do not place restrictions on access, however, we do ask you to have a chat with us before wandering around the farm. Thank you.

We look forward to helping you with places of interest to visit in our beautiful region throughout your stay and if other questions arise.

Located in the south-west slopes, the countryside around Wallendbeen is gently undulating and very pretty. Most properties are mixed farming.

There is lots to do as we are close to some of the top addresses for fruit (cherries and other stone fruit) and wine in both the Riverina and the Hilltops Regions. Let us know what you are interested in and we'd be very happy to make recommendations of places to visit and things to do.

The Harden and Cootamundra Railway Stations are nearby. We can pick up and drop off guests if required.

We do expect that you respect the beauty of our natural environment and keep in mind you are visiting a working farm. Caution should be taken when walking around the farm and we ask you to check in with us before you go for walks.

Our water is caught off our rooftops ... we are not on town water ... so please keep this in mind and use a minimal amount when showering etc. We also have a septic sewage system. Smoking is only permitted outside.

We are happy for you to bring your dog and charge a small fee of $25 per stay.

We look forward to your stay and helping you if questions arise.
