Gorgeous views, very clean cabin with everything you could possibly want supplied. Winn and Roger are very kind people and very accommodating. We loved our stay with our Cattle Dog Levi. Levi also loved the resident boss dog Ellie-May! Looking forward to a return trip. Helen, Shane & Levi

The Wattle Lodge- Est 2013, is on our rural cattle grazing property which has been passed down through generations by the Drinan family since 1856 and purchased when they left Ringabella, County Cork, Ireland to come to Australia.

The Lodge was custom built to give guests a tranquil country escape experience.
The views of the countryside are amazing and relaxing on the front deck can take all yours cares away looking at the view and the wonderful starry nights!
