Location is wonderful
Such a little slice of heaven to stay in this cottage. 2nd time here and couldn’t first remember exactly why we loved it so much, we just knew we wanted to go again. Now I remember: it’s the lovely feeling of being dropped inside a countryside painting, in a cute little cottage, with your fence around you to keep your nearest and dearest close. Sharee and Bill are so lovely, and this time we visitors Wyangala Dam for the day for a picnic. Boorowa pool is great and the town bakery has the best lamingtons I’ve had in my life!

Wonderful Family Getaway
We had the pleasure of staying at Wantana for 3 nights and found it the perfect getaway for some quality family time. The cottage was very clean and kitchen well stocked and every food basic covered. The views from the big windows were amazing and the farm itself pleasant to go for a stroll and enjoy the fresh country air. Bill and Sharee were warm and inviting hosts and it was just a short drive to the town of beautiful Boorowa. Highly recommended!

We wanted space and that is what we got :)
Our Wantana Farm stay was exactly the experience we wanted ... a rustic cottage surrounded by sheep and paddocks. The facilities were ideal for our family with comfortable beds, plenty of room, all the utensils and services. Our inner city friends and neighbors were envious! Looking forward to our next visit.

A lovely holiday experience
We had a lovely time staying at Wantana, thank you so much! Beautiful surrounds, nice and spacious yard. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and nice and clean. Beds comfy, nice spacious fenced off yard so we could enjoy it with the kids and dogs together and see the sunset. Sharee and Bill are lovely, communication is great, and they made us feel at home and like we already knew them. We already have plans for things to do on our next visit. Thank you!

A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN
I loved every peaceful moment, Sharee was very helpful, considerate and friendly. My cottage had everything I needed and more and was very clean and homely. Loved the large windows and the window seat, while all around me was the beauty of "Country" and the song of several birds and the bleating of sheep. - AAhhh sure would love to return.

Perfect place for relaxation and reflection
Wantana Cottage farm stay far exceeded our expectations. The pristine cleanliness of the quaint private cottage, the excellent spacious facilities, incredible daytime vistas, the calm night time quiet, friendly and respectful hosts (gorgeous Toby dog included) and the fabulous local town of Boorowa all contributed to an incredibly rejuvenating and relaxing Easter break for us. Our 12 month old daughter loved time on the green grass waiving to the 'baa'ing sheep, our dogs enjoyed spending some quality time outside breathing in the sweet fresh country air and my husband and I enjoyed cooking from scratch like we were a permanent part of the country life. An easy drive (short day trip) to Cowra was also rewarding visiting the beautiful Cowra gardens. Having a picnic amongst the rolling lawns and flowing water features was another highlight. We would love to come back - next time for a week so we can truly untie our city knots, unwind and explore more of this amazing area.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Dear Sharee and Bill, THANK YOU for your thoughtfulness - As we were arriving late at night. You thoughtfully turn on the light to ensure we could find the place. As we walk into the house, it was clean, tidy and have everything we need. THANK YOU for your generousity - You generously provide us a breakfast hamper with freshly baked wholemeal bread. We also found complimentary mineral water, fresh milk, delicious bacon, sausages and farm eggs in the fridge. That's the best complimentary breakfast we have received from a stay. You are not required to give all that, but you did so to make sure we have the best experience of your lovely cottage. THANK YOU for sharing the beautiful scenery - - The cottage was built on a place where the view surrounding it was simply spectacular! It was so relaxing sitting on the outdoor table and enjoy the beautiful sunset. THANK YOU for being friendly - You came to say hi even with your busy schedule and took us around. We were so blessed by the sheep shearing tour and learn a lot about sheep and farmer's 'stock market' from you. THANK YOU for being awesome! - We appreciate and truly pray that your farm will always so fruitful and blessed all year round. love, HJ family
