Nice location
2 adults travelling to the mayfield gardens, stayed for 2 nights. We have enjoyed our stay here. The house and furniture are a bit dated, but location is beautiful and very convenient for mayfield gardens visit. The owners have provided a number of nice touches to make it a comfortable and pleasant stay (wood fire, kitchen provisions, music and books, fresh flowers). We enjoyed watching birdlife, sunsets and sunrises from the back deck and the front porch. The night sky was a spectacle too.

Wonderful stay
We recently stayed at Warrego Cottage and our hosts were amazing and the cottage had everything we needed. The setting was very tranquil and quiet with beautiful views. The cottage was clean and comfortable with beautiful cosy fire. Lovely to wake up to farm animals outside your window. We will be back for sure!

About the host

Hosted by Pennie McKibbin

Host profile image
Our family has owned this property since 1908.
Over the years they have farmed sheep, cattle and grown vegetable crops.
David & I are the third generation to live here. Today we carry cattle and grow advanced ornamental trees for the landscape industry.

Why they chose this property

Warego cottage has been on our property for for 25 years. It was originally used for farm accomodation and we converted it 10 years ago for holiday rental.
Over the years we have worked to keep it up to date.
We have greatly enjoyed letting our cottage out for this purpose as we have met so many interesting and very nice people from all over the world, many have become good friends returning often throughout the years.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is typical of farm cottages. It is very comfortable and cosy set in the middle of the farm. It is separate from the main homestead so offers privacy and is quiet.
For summer there is air conditioning and a wood fire box for beautiful warmth in the winter. We supply the wood.
The sitting room has 2 sofas and 2 single arm chairs.
There is a digital TV with video. A CD, radio & blue tooth music system and bookcase with plenty of books and magazines to read, as well as games.
The north facing verandah overlooks the paddocks towards the river and is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the view or setting sun with a gl;ass of wine.
Visitors are welcome to wander around. Especially along the river where they can enjoy the tranquil peace, going for a swim or do some fishing.
