Little Kingsley farmstay, cottage on a little farm 1hr from Sydney & Wollongong

Perfect for a winter getaway with our cosy slow combustion wood fire inside and our fire pit outside. This beautiful two bedroom cottage accommodation is situated on part of our ten acre rural property with views of the dam and overlooking the paddocks where our sheep and cows roam freely. The property is partly surrounded by natural Australian bush which is home to kangaroos, cockatoos, kookaburras and many more varieties of Australian animals. The cottage is well appointed with a large kitchen including dishwasher and microwave and the living area has a slow combustion wood fire to keep you warm and cozy in the winter while enjoying a glass of red or cup of hot chocolate. The cottage also has ducted air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer. The large outdoor area includes a gas barbeque and outdoor dining as well as a long bench with bar stools where you can just sit, watch the cows grazing and enjoy the scenery. We are located just 2.5 kms from Thirlmere township and the NSW Train Museum which offers steam train rides every weekend and regular visits from Thomas the Tank Engine and is also home to the Steam Train Festival which is held annually in March. Thirlmere Lakes National Park and the spectacular Mermaid Pools and Potholes are within a ten minute drive with many bushwalking trails and swimming holes. Cedar Creek orchard is a five minute drive away where you can pick your own seasonal fruit and they also offer apple juice, cider and honey for sale, check their website for bookings and dates. Whether you want to just get away from it all, relax and unwind or bring the family and checkout the local attractions. We are only about an hours drive from Sydney and about half an hour from Bowral and the Southern Highlands, perfect for a family getaway or a romantic weekend. Also only 50 minutes drive from the Wollongong beaches.

Wonderful little weekend getaway
Such a lovely little getaway with my young family. The kids loved the cows and sheep that always came up to say hi. House was clean, tidy and comfortable and the inside fire was so lovely. Close to picton (10 min drive) for a meal.

Lovely Stay at Little Kingsley
What an amazing little property and fantastic location. It was a real treat to stay with my family in Little Kingsley. My 1 year old absolutely loved feeding the cows and sheep every morning with bread rolls provided by the owner. Lovely extras such as kids toys/books and board games. The only things that I would suggest is a washing machine, especially for people staying for longer periods, lock on internal door to garage for toddlers, and a fire guard. Thank you for having us and we will definitely be back to visit again.

Quiet Country Getaway
This place was even better than advertised. It’s has everything you need, a place for a fire inside and out, and a full kitchen for cooking. Plus you get some visitors every now and then(cows and sheep). One of the best weekends away! Can’t wait to visit again.

Perfect Farmstay cosy cottage
We had a fantastic stay! We loved the house - really clean and modern. Kitchen was very well appointed with many things needed for home cooking and for the BBQ. The fireplace kept us cozy and we all enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. It was great to see all the cows and sheep grazing on the property and the kids loved feeding them hay over the fence just a few meters from our back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location and cottage was great. Very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. It’s quiet and peaceful. We especially liked the fresh bread and eggs when we arrived. Lots of games for families and a cosy fireplace that was all ready for us to just light. The host was extremely friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

So good to escape the day to day to a beautiful modern and very clean cottage, so close to Sydney. Loved the cows, sheep and spoilt to see the lambs. Fresh eggs was a lovely treat. Host was very accommodating and it was really just perfect

Relaxing Farm Stay
Visited Sydney from Brisbane for 2 nights and booked this accomdation for me and my family. Beautiful, tidy home! Kids loved the sheep and cows in the backyard especially when the cows came to the fence so they could pat them. Quite chilly so was able to make good use of fireplace! Well thought out property for guests and very comfortable place to stay! Highly recommend this property for a luxe, farm-styled stay. Easy access and great communication with owner
