Cottage, Holiday house

Located in a secluded valley on the Macquarie River, "Watton Cottage" offers comfortable and relaxing accommodation. The cottage has been recently renovated and has everything you need.

Soak up the clean air and impressive views across the valley and take advantage of the private access to the Macquarie River for a picnic, go fishing, watch the abundant bird life, go fossicking or for a stroll along the walking trails. You might be lucky enough to see the resident platypus or families of rock wallabies and wallaroos. After the sun goes down, sit on the verandah and marvel and the clear night skies.

There's a 100 acres to explore, kids love the space and freedom to run, roam and explore safely.

The cottage is 50 metres from the main homestead and has privacy surrounded by a rambling cottage garden.

Just 2 1/2 hrs from Sydney, 20 minutes from Bathurst and 45 minutes from Orange, "Watton Cottage" is ideal to access all the local attractions.
