FOXTON PARK FARMSTAY

FOXTON PARK

The Foxton Park homestead is set on over 80 acres of farmland including 30 acres of forest in Wildes Meadow. Formerly owned by Australian gardening guru Don Burke, the lush gardens and peaceful surround allows one to reflect on the more leisurely pace of bygone days.

Relax at Foxton Park and simply recharge! Sit in front of the fire with a good book or explore the many acres of undulating paddocks. Farm animals include cows, alpacas, sheep, horses, chickens and ducks.

The more adventurous may discover the trail to our own private waterfall and explore the bush as you treck alongside the river bed.

Stroll around the orchard and in season pick your fresh fruit and vegetables. Smell the magnificent aroma of the rosemary bushes by the tennis court. Collect your fresh eggs for breakfast. The spectacular full size tennis court is superb for competition play. There is an adjoining cabana that provides shaded seating. Ball games and the children's playground will satisfy all ages.

BINNOWEE COTTAGE AND STUDIO

The original 3 bed-room cottage has been restored to offer fully self-contained family accommodation for a maximum of 10 people. Fully air-conditioned throughout, the cottage has two living areas, both with fireplaces. The bathroom has under-floor heating and a deep freestanding bath.

The Studio is located approximately 30 meters from Binnowee Cottage; far enough for privacy, yet close enough for a group booking. Surrounded by lush vegetation the Studio is not visible from Binnowee Cottage. The open plan Studio is perfect for a couple. The double sofa bed will also accommodate another adult or 2 young children. Both Binnowee Cottage and the Studio have an adjoining rear deck with barbecue facilities for alfresco dining.

SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS OF NSW

Rugged mountain ranges, impressive limestone caves, plunging waterfalls combined with rolling green hillsides reminiscent of the 'English Countryside' blend together to give the Southern Highlands its unique character.

Bowral is probably the most well known town in the Southern Highlands. Founded in the 1860's it soon became a summer retreat for the wealthy Sydney residents who have left a legacy of stately mansions and spacious grounds of manicured gardens containing European deciduous and evergreen trees, exotic plants and flowering annuals. Many famous celebrities include actors, musicians, artists, designers, athletes and some of Australia's biggest business magnates call the Southern Highlands home. Examples include Michael Clarke, Alan Jones, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, Jimmy Barnes, John Olsen, Gai and Rob Waterhouse and many more!

Vineyards, olive groves, horse studs, and orchards are dotted around the landscape. With many local vineyards now having reached international acclaim, the Southern Highlands of NSW has become one of the premium wine regions in Australia. If you're into great food and great coffee then the Southern Highlands is your absolute heaven. Choices range from cosy cafes to award winning hatted restaurants and everything in between.

Regular markets held throughout the Southern Highlands offer a diverse range of goods including farm fresh, organic produce, wine, art, crafts, locally made furniture, and much more.
