We have lovingly restored the cottage keeping many of the original heritage elements. My husbands family have been farming in the district for over 100 years and our cattle and sheep property is just on the outskirts of Taralga. You will see many tributes to that family farming history at the cottage. When renovating and furnishing the cottage we used as much vintage, homemade or previously owned pieces as possible. We hope you enjoy being part of the history of the cottage and it's special pieces. There are 3-bedrooms: 2 x queen bedrooms and 1 double bedroom.

Taralga is a beautiful historic village so please walk around and enjoy the architecture and rolling green hills. First recognised as a settlement in 1825, Taralga was established as a village in the 1860s and has preserved its unique building style. Buildings from the 1860s to the 1890s were built from stones and rocks gathered locally and the result is an architectural style somewhere between Georgian and Victorian, with larger windows and grander constructions than settlers enjoyed in other parts of the country. The Historical Museum can be found in the former Methodist Church and is open for visitors. The grounds contain some fantastic historic buildings, displays, demonstrations and archives that tell the story since the pioneering days. Taralga is 2.5 hours from Sydney and 1.5 hours from Canberra. Woolbrook Cottage is a 5 minute stroll to the Taralga Hotel and Grand Ettie and a 10 minute walk to The Argyle Inn. Laggan is a 25 minute drive and Crookwell and Goulburn 30 minutes. Wombeyan Caves is around a 40 minute drive and is a wonderful day trip.
