Stepping back in time, the unique farmlet in Penguin will charm you with its old English gardens and farm buildings C.1948. Nestled on top of a hill amongst Blackwoods, Blue Gums and wild birds, this place has a special romance with each season.

In your cottage, they provide a queen bed with luxe bedding, extra blankets and hot water bottles. Split air conditioning for heating or cooling and a small extendable table is provided along with a TV, DVD player, movies, WiFi, outdoor seating, private shower and toilet. Carefully chosen books, games, and puzzles also to enjoy.
