Beechwood Cottage is surrounded by its own fully fenced house-yard and is screened from your host’s farmhouse, which is a little over 120 metres away by a stand of magnificent Cypress Pine trees. Please Note: For your safety and as there are horses agisting in the paddocks that surround the Cottage, guests are requested to remain at all times within the Beechwood Cottage house-yard. (These horses are trotting race horses and can at times be skittish and unpredictable, and can kick. If you choose to wander into the paddocks, we, as your hosts, will not be responsible for your safety). Guests also need to be aware that there is an unfenced dam on the Eastern boundary of the ‘Strath|Anann’ property. Once again, we strongly suggest that you stay within the Beechwood Cottage house yard at all times. Entry to the Cottage is via self check-in. The lock box is located on the front veranda, the combination of which will be provided upon a confirmed booking. As your hosts live in the main farmhouse on the property, response time will generally be within an hour via a text or voice message, or in person. During these uncertain COVID times, if there is the need for your host(s) and the guests to interact, full COVID safety measures will be strictly adhered to. Masks and sanitiser are provided at the Cottage for guests, and social distancing would of course be observed. Please note that your hosts are both vaccinated. Your hosts also hold a current First Aid Certificate including CPR training from Royal Life Saving (Australia). ‘Beechwood Cottage’ is ideally located to experience and enjoy the many and varied attractions that the spectacular Oberon district has to offer. The Jenolan Caves, (with the famous Chisolm’s Restaurant in the Grand Dining Room at Caves House), Kanangra-Boyd National Park, and the Waldara Farm Wedding Venue are all within a short drive. At the Edith Common, guests can enjoy a free game of tennis or cricket or utilise the picnic tables there. Visit the magnificent Mayfield Garden and our 18-hole Golf Course on shores of Lake Oberon. The Evans Crown lookout, (near Tarana), is a worthwhile walk and you’ll be rewarded with a stunning vista. Try your hand at trout fishing on Lake Oberon or one of the area’s mountain streams. The lake is also ideal for kayaking, however you’ll need to bring your own craft & gear.
