Luxury farm stay just 12 minutes from Braidwood

Situated 12 minutes from Braidwood, Brightside Homestead is situated on 870 acres of stunning farmland.

We are only 1 hour drive from the Canberra, 1 hour from the South Coast and 3 hours from Sydney.

With its beautiful façade, French farmhouse style interior, it’s a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern confort, providing a cozy escape for your family, friends and pets.

The space:

This is a truly stunning, luxury country escape to enjoy with family and friends.

It is a fully equipped home complete with a beautiful country kitchen with butler’s pantry, open plan lounge and dining area, 3 cosy bedrooms and a 4th room which is TV room that has two comfy double sofa beds. Great heating and cooling to make it very comfortable all year round.

Seasonal produce can be harvested by guests from the fruit orchard or veggie gardens, and fresh eggs can be collected daily from the chicken coop.

In winter, relax around the fire pit. Inside, there are 2 cosy wood-fired heaters, which add a lovely ambience and allow you to enjoy time out in the country. Plenty of naturally sourced timber from the farm is provided complementary for the fires.

Brightside Homestead adjoins our working angus cattle farm, Oorong, and guests are welcome to explore both farms' 870 acres of farmland with a farm tour. We have over 100 breeding cows, their calves, and three quiet bulls named Gordy, Erol, and Cyrill.

Our property is the original Durran Durra land holding, dating back to the 1820’s. The original homestead stone ruins circa late 1820s are still situated on the property, this was the original homestead in the area and the home of James Ryrie and family. Guests are welcome to walk down the paddocks, explore the ruins and other parts of the property.

If you fancy a trip out, the beautiful Braidwood village is only a short 12 minute drive away with its wonderful cafes, local shops and boutiques or explore the local markets on weekends.

Guest access:

Guest access is private and self-contained, however a farm manager lives on an adjoining property and is available should guest need any assistance.

Other things to note:
Brighgtside is set up and priced for accommodation only.

We are able to assist with other requirements such as location photography, bridal bookings and photos, elopements but these are to be discussed ahead of time with the host.

Well behaved pets are welcome; however, it is a working farm, so guests are asked to keep them on a lead when outside the large homestead yard.

We are on filtered tank water and ask our guests to please be mindful of this.

We look forward to welcoming you at our property.

Incredible farm stay!! The home is immaculate with top end appliances and everything you could possibly wish for. The host too is outstanding, communication is top notch, willingness to help with anything and a pleasure to deal with. The farm is pristine with so much to see, from native wildlife (wombats, kangaroos, deer, birdlife including wedge tailed eagles) and all the farm animals including cattle, sheep and a very friendly farm dog named Jackson who was on hand to greet us arriving! We too our two dogs and they had a ball!! I can highly recommend this farm stay - we will be going back. Finally the farm manager was great he took us on a wonderful tour which was a lot of fun and great to help us get to know the farm. 10/10…Thank you Kieran, Kathy and dogs
