The Quarters: Peaceful Escape on a Historic Farm
Nestled away in an undulating valley is a historic property with a Farmstay that dates back hundreds of years. It's characterful stone exterior is perfectly paired with charming windows and green gardens. The peaceful surrounding farmland means you’ll feel relaxed from the moment you step out of the car. With space for up to 2 guests, it’ll be easy to stay put. But, venture out to the surrounding villages and towns to discover fantastic winery ties and breathtaking country walks.
The property
Full of old-warm charm and rustic beauty, Foxlow's Farmstay No.1 makes for a delightful escape for up to two people in the country. The spacious self-contained suite is a haven for getting cozy and exploring the surrounding private farmland; trees sing with birdlife, Station horses greet you at the fence and the river scape is alive with frogs, wombats and kangaroos. Perfectly paired with tasteful antiques and contemporary furnishings, care and consideration have been taken to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
Spanning three generous sized rooms, there's plenty of space for activities and relaxation. The large queen sized bedroom is beautifully adorned French linen sheets and towel set. Guests can enjoy the mess-free bedroom fireplace while browsing the curated collection of history and fictional books. The spacious herringbone tiled ensuite bathroom has a step free shower with unlimited hot water as well as a deep bath with luxurious lavender bath oil.
Inside the front entrance you will find the lounge room and kitchen with slow combustion fireplace fully stocked as well as extra blankets, picnic rugs, board games, farm map, blue tooth portable speaker and other homely comforts. Use the farm map to plan a picnic in the paddock or hire the mountain e-bikes to access up to 50km of trails and tracks through the snowy woodlands.
The farmstay kitchen is fully equiped with microwave, mini fridge, hot plates, coffee pot, kettle, toaster and more. High speed wifi provides instant streaming to your device for movie night or rug up and gather around the outdoor fire pit for sunset wines or star gazing. With festoon lighting, outdoor dining and Webber BBQ the outdoor patio and garden area is a great space to soak up the historic buildings and tranquil country surrounds.
Explore the neighbouring villages of Bungendore, Braidwood, Queanbeyan and Canberra which make for charming day trips. Discover heritage buildings, local galleries and sample the best produce from the Canberra Region's restaurants, cellar doors and cafes.
Dogs are welcome with a fee of $40/dog (max 2). It is also on the condition they are kept off sofas and out of bedrooms. Sadly we cannot accept cats or other pets for allergy reasons.
Port-a-cot and or floor mattress with linen are available on request at no extra cost for families.
Enquire about hiring mountain e-bikes with a fee of $90/stay (max 2) to discover over 50km of marked trails leading to historic railways, bridges, ruins and an iconic part of Australia's Snowy Woodland bushland.
Access our local guidebook to discover heritage buildings, local galleries and sample the best produce from the Canberra Region's restaurants, cellar doors and cafes.
With free on site private parking for two vehicles, the Farmstay No.1 cottage is the perfect base for a memorable getaway.
