Excellent relaxing stay

We loved our two night stay at Chaffcutters Cottage. Janey and Pete were great hosts. Excellent communication. The cottage was quaint and had everything we needed. Canowindra was just a short drive away. A very peaceful and relaxing stay. We will be back on our next road trip north.

A Gem Hidden in Plain Sight

From the moment we turned in to a well maintained gravel driveway my blood pressure dropped as we drove up to Chaffcutter cottage, and when we met the owners who welcomed us warmly and who had prepared everything for our enjoyment, we knew we were in for a relaxing, care-free break. The magnificent old Peppercorn tree shading the front garden and the lush green lawns surrounding the cottage provided the ideal areas for our Cavoodle to chase the ball - and the birds. Then, sitting on the verandah overlooking nearby hills and distant mountains and watching the sunset was the kind of scenery that makes you feel like sharing a glass of wine or three.

Glammed up ice chest

Lovely setting, excellent kitchen, comfortable bed but freezing. Not suitable for a winter stay. There was a heater up high near the ceiling in the living area so only the ceiling got warm. I was left with large green wet logs to make a fire. There was no kindling, no smaller wood, no split wood, just fire starters which don't work on large wet logs! It was a nicely fitted out tin shed with no wall insulation which may have worked if there had been a space heater on the floor, proper equipment to make a fire and an electric blanket for the bed.

Farm stay we didn’t know we needed!

I booked this trip as a 3 day weekend get away and it did not disappoint. We arrived to the scent of roses all around the garden, freshly cut grass, a dog beds and toys as our warm welcome. We enjoyed the magnificent sunset while drinking Windowrie’s Sakura wine in the lovely private garden then we moved on to use the fire pit underneath a clear night of stars. A delightful surprise were the arrival of eight young heifers to the farm which were greeted by the farm’s seven adult cows - two of which were pregnant. We also enjoyed the trail walk through the paddock among the 50ish adorable sheep. We had all the luxuries with use of large tv with Netflix in the heavy rain and grilling steaks on the bbq. Perfect weekend and Janey was incredibly thoughtful in providing us road updates from the heavy rainfall and offering an extra night’s stay if we couldn’t get home to Sydney. Thank you Janey. We hope to visit again soon. xx

About the host

Hosted by Janey Anderson

Host profile image
My family and I live on site about 300m down the lane from Chaffcutters. Our property is a small but busy and productive hay farm located on the Belubula River. We generally run a small number of livestock over the summer to keep the grass down on our hill and trade up to 1,000 lambs over winter on our farm and the neighbouring property.
Chaffcutters Cottage keeps us busy most of the year!

Why they chose this property

The Canowindra district is a wonderful part of the state with a mild climate and stunning views. The community is very welcoming and there are a number of interesting places to easily explore within a day. Canowindra town has every service you need.

What makes this property unique

Chaffcutters is a little piece of rural farming history that has been restored to a practical and very comfortable one bedroom cottage with a fabulous outlook across lucerne paddocks. Pets are very welcome - in fact nearly all our guests visit with at least one dog of varying shape and size!
