Let the peace and solitude wash over you while you relax in your own exclusive cabin.

Springmead offers glorious views of the Blue Mountains and glimpses of Lake Lyell. Kangaroos often visit the cabin. Please note that the cabin does have limited head height in some areas

Additional Information

BARN DETAILS
Many birds including wrens, parrots and cockatoos live in the garden and surround and the resident Kookaburra family live just below the house.

A beautiful location to just simply sit back and relax or use this as your base to explore the surrounding area.

A continental breakfast is included and served in the guest dining room.

Cheese platters and wine or beer are available for purchase and are perfect for enjoying in the courtyard garden or your own private balcony overlooking the farm and mountains. Dinners are also available and picnic hampers can be supplied with prior notice. Although we are a working farm producing beef, lamb and duck as well as a horse stud we are not a farm stay.

The cabin is completely self-contained with its own private balcony, however, guests are welcome to enjoy the breakfast room and guest lounge. We also have a lovely courtyard that we encourage you to use and is perfect for outdoor dining or just enjoying a wine and cheese platter while watching the sunset.

Rydal village is 5km from us and the Alexander pub does have a dining room. Rydal has a population of about 130 so is quite small. Lithgow is about 12km and has ATM's, restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets. Lake Lyell is about a 5-minute drive from us and is great for swimming, fishing, boating and picnics. We do have boat and trailer parking. Flat Rock is a fabulous picnic area on the Fish River and is about a 20-minute drive.

We can transfer from Lithgow Railway station or cars can be hired from Lithgow.

We have 2 house cats who will interact with you as much as you choose (although they don't often go to the cabin and 2 outside dogs all of who are friendly! Although we are a farm we are not a farm stay.

The view, the vibe and the hospitality from Marjory are top notch! We stayed here for my wife's birthday and she went the extra mile to put in a happy birthday greeting and wine :). Also the indoor fi...replace was not just for aesthetics but also working perfectly well. The bed was also heated which makes it a perfect getaway place during the winter. However we only stayed for a night which was not enough so I'd recommend at least staying for 2 nights as this place has a lot to offer and you definitely won't regret it.
