About this property

Arcadian Farmstay - Southern Highlands River Retreat

Your retreat is a beautiful, self-contained, two bedroom cabin and is the perfect weekend or mid-week getaway in a secluded country setting. Picnic amongst the eucalypt and pine trees, or wander along the 2km stretch of the beautiful Wollondilly River. Only 1.5 hours from Sydney or Canberra, and 30 minutes to the boutique shops, wineries, historical towns, and numerous events of the Southern Highlands NSW. Our onsite massage and beauty treatments turn this property into your own private resort.

Enjoy swimming, canoeing, fishing or just relax, unwind and take in the views of our 100 acre completely solar and wind powered scenic property. We offer breakfast baskets, BBQ trays, picnic baskets, and cheese platters to accompany our local wines and bar menu. On the colder days snuggle up inside by the slow combustion fire with a good book, or have some fun with the variety of board/card games available within your cabin.

Sitting on the front deck you will see a morning and afternoon parade of native animals and hear the beautiful song of our lovely wild birds. Within our 2km stretch of the Wollondilly River there are platypus, fish, deep cool pools and shallow sandy wading areas. Maybe take an evening walk around the property to catch sight of a wombat, possum or owl, or simply sit by the outside fire-pit, toast marshmallows and soak up the vast night sky speckled by millions of stars.

Why not pamper yourself with either a rejuvenating facial or beautiful relaxation massage, or wipe away any aches and pains with a remedial massage located in our treatment room on the property.

Accommodation and facilities are modern and spacious, and consists of two bedrooms (2 king beds, or 1 king bed and 2 king single beds), large lounge/ dining area, fully equipped kitchen with 5 burner gas oven/stove, slow combustion fire, flat screen TV with DVD player, BBQ facilities, outdoor fire-pit, washing machine and tub, audio system with USB port, and games/books. Linen and towels are supplied and included in the tariff.

Please note:
This property is located on an unsealed road and is shared with another house. You have a private entry into your own fully self-contained area and will be afforded privacy during your stay.

Directions to the property and key/access details will be emailled to you by 4pm two days prior to your arrival.

Information during your stay can be found in the Guest Information Folder or by calling our office.

This property is approved for accommodation only. No parties or loud music.

There is no air conditioning or WiFi Internet within the cabin but there are ceiling fans in the bedroom (or the river to cool off in).

Whilst in the cabin and the top part of the property there is no problem with mobile phone coverage with either the Telstra or Optus networks (please note that the Vodafone coverage is limited throughout the Southern Highlands). However, down by the river all phone reception is limited.

An absolutely amazing spot to get away and relax.
It was fantastic. A modern cabin in what felt like the middle of no where. So peacefully quiet and beautiful. This property is the perfect place to get away and enjoy every aspect of life. Go for a bush walk, sit by the fire, get a massage or do it all!!! We had a fantastic time and by far the best massages we have had. Thanks again to Mel and George for your hospitality
