1830's Kippilaw- Luxurious Stonehouse Farmstay

Within the 1830's Kippilaw Homestead, the stonehouse is a luxury getaway for couples. Within a 400 acre farm, with 10 acres of gardens, a horse, donkeys, alpacas and a shed full of chickens, and access to the tennis court and pool, the stonehouse is stunningly renovated, with historical touches, overlooking the River. Breakfast for the first morning (cereal, milk, eggs, coffee and tea) is provided, and guests are welcome to help themselves to eggs and vegetables (when in season and available). The Kippilaw Estate is one of the first grand residences in the colony of New South Wales, dating back to the 1840s. The stonehouse within Kippilaw has been lushly renovated, whilst retaining many original character features that reflect its rich history. The stonehouse is in a private enclosed acreage shared with the shearers quarters, within the broader Kippilaw estate boasting 10 acres of secluded gardens, trees and hedging, along with an orchard, tennis court and a chicken shed guarded from preying foxes by alpacas. The 400 acre working farm also hosts black angus cows and their calves. The property features a pool for the warmer months. The stonehouse sleeps 2, with a queen bed in the bedroom and a luxurious, newly renovated bathroom. It has a fireplace and firewood supplied for the cooler months. There is also an outdoors fire pit for the winters and a bbq on the balcony overlooking the river, if you would rather a casual meal rather than using the newly renovated kitchen. There is a dedicated car space proximate to the stonehouse. ** Strictly no parties, and unfortunately we cannot host weddings on our grounds.** Full access to the fenced acre for the stonehouse guests, and ready access to the grounds of the historic Kippilaw estate itself with rose gardens, orchards, a tennis court and pool (for use in Summer), along with farm animals (chickens, alpacas and donkeys and a horse). Situated in Goulburn, the stonehouse is a 15 minute drive through stunning southern tablelands countryside from Goulburn's main street, which hosts all the amenities you would expect of a town of 20,000 people. The stonehouse is private and, together with the shearers quarters, separate from the main Kippilaw estate. Guests are left to relax in their own space. Apart from the owners of the property, we have a resident warden who lives onsite, but normally out of view of the stonehouse. Onsite assistance is hence available if required, and we are a phone call away if required. Kippilaw is one the original, grand houses of the colony of New South Wales. The stonehouse has been a working part of this historic piece of Australian history, and is now available for short stay vacations. The property is between 10 and 15 minutes from Goulburn train station and town. There is car parking nearby to the stonehouse.
