The Old Schoolhouse
Properties in Coonabarabran, Central West 'Explorer Country', New South Wales
Property Details
Located on the working farm "Barkala", and a stone's throw from the fabulous Pilliga Pottery, The Old Schoolhouse is a farmstay with a difference! All the fun of farm activities such as feeding animals, pony rides, helping milk Emma the Jersey cow, and petting our young goats, combined with the wonderful creativity of one of NSW's largest potteries, where everything is handmade, you're welcome to watch the potters and artists at work, and the kids can even have a "play with clay". Plus a beautiful gallery shop and an on-site cafe, serving Devonshire teas and fresh coffee all day, and delicious wood-fired pizza by arrangement.
You can also go bushwalking or do some birdwatching - we have heaps of birds in our extensive native gardens, including 8 threatened species at or near the homestead. Book in for a guided bird tour, or a horse trail ride.
Or - you can do nothing! Put your feet up on the balcony or go for a short stroll in one of our ridge-lined paddocks and you won't know the rat race exists. The perfect place to relax and unwind.
The Old Schoolhouse sleeps 6-8 and is self-contained, with a kitchenette, a shower and toilet, and a BBQ downstairs for guests to use.
Small pets are welcome.
Breakfast and dinner are available by arrangement, for an extra cost.
