Many years ago The Corn Loft was where the husking of the farm's corn took place. Now the corn is gone it's a very comfortable place to stay! The Corn Loft has undergone a complete renovation, however it retains many of its original features such as internal wooden walls and beams. The building is classified by the National Trust of Australia. The Corn Loft has beautiful rural views both north and south from the kitchen and elevated lounge room. It is an ideal place for couples or a small family. FACILITIES AT THE CORN LOFT

| Parma Creek Cottage | ||||||
|
Parma Creek Cottage was completed
in 1994 and is built from mud bricks made on the property. This
spacious two storey house features cathedral ceilings and polished
timber floors. The open plan design takes advantage of the peaceful
rural views from every window. FACILITIES AT PARMA CREEK COTTAGE "Arrival was bliss. There we were at The Dream House, a two storey mud brick house ringed with a flower garden glowing in the light spilling from the cottage. It had a fire in the grate, couches with plump cushions, magazines left about to encourage idleness, artworks - and vases full of flowers. With its vaulted ceilings, polished floors and big cedar windows giving onto rural vistas, it has the feel of a ski lodge for the wealthy." Review in the Sydney Morning Herald Travel 1996 Rated 20/20 Comments taken from the Parma Creek Cottage Guest book: I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Beautiful place, tranquillity at last. What a great place to spend our summer holidays mornings spent down at the beaches at Jervis Bay and afternoons relaxing away from the crowds in the cool of the light nor-easterly breeze, Fantastic! The atmosphere was truly inspirational! Fresh air, log fires, good food and the most beautiful mud brick cottage. Combine this with great company and life does not get much better! Thanks and we will return. Lovely, tranquil home with beautiful surroundings, a great holiday place for everyone. Thank you for making our holiday one to remember. Wonderful, warm and relaxing. It's like having your own house in the country. We loved it! Good place for friends to write a book together, chat, drink coffee, visit the swimming hole, eat lots of yummy food, gaze off into beautiful distant views and dream about living here! Thank you and dream on! Didn't want to leave! Will be back. Beautifully appointed - we were not wanting for anything which is so rare. Thank you. |
