Fantastic family experience. Beautifully appointed stable style villa with all mod cons included. Quiet, spacious and peaceful environment amongst the horses and paddocks. Very friendly and helpful hosts provide a perfect rural experience. Couldn’t fault it in any way.

Cozy city getaway
We booked this property looking for a chilled weekend getaway from the city… and it’s exactly what we got. The inside is beautifully renovated. The bathroom and tub are stunning. We enjoyed a nice cozy night in by the fire. In the mornings we walked around the grounds with our dog and baby and admired the beautiful horses.
Thank you again for sharing your lovely property.

The Stables near Moss Vale
We stayed at the Stables for 3 nights and had exactly the kind of chilled, relaxing time that we were hoping for - in a rustic setting, surrounded by paddocks and horses on an active, well-run farm. The ensuite bedrooms were stunning, the living room cosy and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely be keen to stay again and have no hesitation recommending it.

The Hidden Gem
Thank you Michelle and Peter for your hospitality! The quality touches within the property have exceeded our expectation, we have truly enjoyed our stay at the Stables.
Our first horse riding experience has been so memorable, ‘Princess Fiona’ and ‘Snowy’ were so patient with us! Peter has done an excellent job leading the way for both of them and shown us around the farm.
We will be recommending the Stables to our friends and families if they are visiting the area in the future.
PS: wishing James can fulfil his Olympic dreams in Equestrian, we hope to see his name one day on tv representing Australia!

We so enjoyed our stay at the Stables, everything was top quality, and coming from Qld we enjoyed the novelty of an open fire, and we all loved watching the horses. Our Springer Spaniel made a new friend with Snoopy.

Peaceful weekend
Beautiful property, every comfort considered, lots of attention to detail, quality linen and toiletries, super comfy beds and loved browsing the books the owner left. So welcoming on arrival, warm and music playing.. such a thoughtful touch. Coffee machine, well equipped kitchen, bathtub, great shower and open fire were spot on for a relaxing weekend.. Seeing a 2 week old foal
In the field opposite the house was really quite special. Loved the little terrace for sitting outside. Quality accomodation. Thanks for a wonderful stay and friendly welcome.
