About this property

Bathurst Country Retreat

Set on twenty one acres, enjoy the tranquility of our country holiday retreat just 10 minutes drive from Bathurst and Mount Panorama. Relax on the deck and take in the valley views and rolling hills, or take a stroll around the property, say hi to our friendly Alpacas and explore the huge boulders created by thousands of years of weather erosion. Our Bathurst accommodation offers an unqiue country experience and is around two and a half hours drive from Sydney. Located just outside of Bathurst, it's a scenic ten minutes drive into the town centre so we're close to all the shopping, cafes and restaurants Bathurst has to offer. Come and take a break from your busy schedule and relax at our Bathurst country holiday accomodation.

Great Location
We were there for the races, great proximity to the track. Wonderful views, our host Andy and Amanda were most helpful with all our need. The house provided us with all our needs, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time.

Views for Days
We had a wonderful stay at this property, everything was clean and tidy. Very hot weekend but inside was lovely and cool. Beautiful outlook. We were unable due to time to explore the property more. However our girls enjoyed trying to feed the Alpacas, which the owners left hay/grass for us and brought them up to the pasture next to the house so we could meet them. Fantastic stay. Thankyou

Granite garden and alpacas
This is a lovely place to stay. So many birds and wonderful views of the country, but only 15 minutes to Bathurst. The alpacas were a calm presence who reminded us that dramas are not evident in Evans Plains

Great accommodation. Amazing views.
We have stayed in Bathurst the weekend before Christmas for many years and we all agree this was our best accommodation choice so far. The house was perfect for our needs and well equipped . The view over Evans Plain is stunning, made all the better by an electrical storm in the evening. Communication with Amanda and Andy was excellent and very clear instructions on how to get to house and information about house. Birdlife and alpacas were very popular with family. We would love to return.

The most gorgeous cottage with the most extraordinary Views.
Having 2 families staying it was fantastic that we could find out own space when needed. Lovely cottage with plenty of charm. Comfy beds, everything you need in the kitchen, two bathrooms and a fire pit! What more could you ask for - oh that’s right AMAZING scenery.

Nice for a short break just outside Bathurst
Spectacular view from the deck, bathrooms recently renovated. Beds were comfy and house was spacious. Fire pit not in use during our stay but would be amazing in winter. Would have liked some milk in the fridge on arrival but other than that it is a lovely place to stay for a weekend.

We enjoyed our stay at the property while visiting family in Bathurst for Christmas. We were very comfortable, the house is big, the views were beautiful. Highly recommend- there were five of us and we all had plenty of room.

Home away from Home
Very comfortable property. Lovely hosts Andy and Amanda Thankyou for being so accomodating. The kitchen has everything you need including baking tins and it’s huge! Appreciated the coffee machine and pods. Loved the BBQ on the large deck with an awesome view. We would have loved to use the fire pit but it’s bushfire season. The alpacas were amusing but a bit standoffish. It’s only 10 mins out of Bathurst bit further to Orange but makes for a nice drive. Can recommend Huntley Berry Farm to pick your own strawberries when in season and a visit to Millthorpe. Overall we had a great time and would rebook.

Well setup farmhouse in scenic location
We had a very enjoyable stay over three nights this farmhouse set among granite boulders. The unseasonably cold spring weather meant we appreciated the ducted aircon. We made good use of the firepit for marshmallows.

Very comfortable stay in a scenic location
We had a very enjoyable three night at the Bathurst Country Retreat, also known as Bungawarra. The house was very clean and and well supplied with games. The ducted aircon worked well to keep us comfortable during Bathurst winter nights and the we enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire pit.

Amazing place
Andy and Amanda's place is immaculately maintained, peaceful, and set in a picturesque location. The house allows you to relax, take in the views, and be carefree. The single beds for children are well thought out, and the adult beds are of utmost comfort. I did not expect the house to be this nice to stay at, and at the end I could not have asked for anything more.

Stunning country retreat
We were absolutely blown away by the beauty and comfort of this beautiful property. The views over the valley are just perfect and the house is laid out in a very user friendly way. The wood stove in the kitchen kept us super warm. The beds are beautifully comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. The two bathrooms helped immensely with our party of 4 adults and 3 kids. We loved our stay, thank you Andy and Amanda!

Idyllic country retreat
Had a fantastic stay, was everything we needed, a lovely peaceful setting to unwind after a hectic few months. The property was easy to find, so quiet at night yet only 15 minutes to the center of Bathurst with shops, restaurants etc. Everything required for a couples get away or a family get together plus more is available, the owners have thought of everything. Beds and pillows are super comfy so slept like a baby and enjoyed the district views from in front of the wood stove with a cuppa, perfect!
