Country Hospitality

It was lovely to arrive at Peppercorn Cottage after a long drive and work day. We were greeted with chocolates, sour dough, cookies and essentials such as fresh local milk, butter and tea, coffee, shampoo/ conditioner. It was nice to walk around to the local Wongarbon Tavern and be given a locals welcome. Thanks for making our first weekend near Dubbo comfortable and welcoming

What makes this property unique

This is a pretty unique building located in a 'fetlers' village minutes away from Dubbo. The cottage dates back to late 19th century and has some original features. The living area opens out into the pretty courtyard garden where you can sit and enjoy the serenity of this location. You can also use the bbq. There are outside lights and hurricane candle lamps for you to use. This cottage offers you the opportunity to get away and enjoy what rural life offers.
