Historic Georgian Stone Built Cottage

Stay in a beautifully restored, historic first settlers cottage built of convict-cut stone on a property first granted 200 years ago. Enjoy the solitude, the bird life and wonderful country views across the lake. Relax with a wine on the front verandah looking across the lake or lounge on the deck and catch some rays. Unique, comfortable and decorated with great taste, this entire cottage is yours with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room with stone fireplace, galley kitchen and dining area with great views. Ideal for two friendly couples heading out of the hustle and bustle of the city to breathe fresh air and recharge the batteries. Loads of exercise opportunities ... swim in the river at the village, climb the ranges behind the cottage, paddle out on the lake ... ride your mountain bike in some of the toughest trails in Oz. Or .. walk the historic Old North Road. It's all here. Please note that the drive includes 2.2km of unsealed, graded road to our driveway entrance.

Sandstone cottage

Nice location and a good experience to stay in a heritage cottage. Well appointed however some areas of the cottage require more attention to detail.

Lovely getaway

We booked this from the US as we needed lodging close to our daughter’s wedding venue (St Joseph’s Guesthouse). The property exceeded our expectations. Drew and Kerrie were excellent hosts and able to accommodate our request for an extra night.

A beautiful experience

Our stay at the First Farm was a truly wonderful experience. A tastefully renovated heritage property at an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location, steeped in history. Welcoming and generous hosts that were easy to communicate with. The perfect spot for a romantic weekend or family catch up (especially during the St Albans festival)!

Great for a wedding in St Albans

We stayed at the cottage to attend a friend's wedding in St Albans. Overall, the property was lovely - clean, interesting and peaceful. Beware if you are over 6ft tall, the doorframes are quite low and that was an issue for my partner. Loved the small touches, including a stocked fridge (there are no shops in St Albans) including eggs, bread and milk. Our daughter loved seeing the kangaroos hanging outside the cottage on arrival. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Almost, But Not Quite

We picked this property for the quiet and the history of the house. The quiet it delivered in spades, and it was perfect for that. The history was not all there. The layout of the house was as expected – a house split in the middle by a hallway with two rooms either side. Proportions were correct, but the lack of the Australian Hardwood trims, doors and frames (the cleats in the stonework were there) was a bit disappointing.The cleanliness of both the house and yard were not great. The yard could do with a serious clean up, including the backyard.Maintenance was also an issue – of 10 doors that led outside, only three were functioning correctly, with one more leading to the backyard, which we didn’t need. Given that when we arrived the air conditioning, as promised on this page, was non-existent, it would have been nice to be able to open the house up to the breeze blowing in from the lake. There is no phone service, and the wifi is okay. Your best bet is to go to the local pub 2kms down the road and take your laptop! The staff at the pub are lovely, the meals are really good! In short, if you want somewhere quiet where no-one can find you and you can’t use tech then this is your place! Otherwise, I hope that the owners will stay for a few weeks and get the place back up to standard (a list of maintenance items has been sent).

Weekend at St Albans

Great place to get away from it all. Lovely views, very peaceful. Amazing old sandstone building, well appointed. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the booking and the place had been double booked (through two different online booking organisations) for the weekend which was a bit uncomfortable (people were already in there when we arrived) but it was resolved.

Stay did not go ahead

We advised the owner via the Stayz website that we were advised against proceeding with the booking due to flood warnings for the locality and to avoid putting a strain on local resources in the circumstances. Our message was: Dear Drew and Kerrie We have arrived in Sydney but have been advised that the St Albans Fire Brigade has issued major flood warnings and that all providers of tourist accommodation are required to ask current tenants to leave the area and advise future tenants not to come. Would you please confirm this to be the case for your cottage? We are very disappointed of course. Kind regards Elizabeth Game Drew, the owner, subsequently rang me and I advised that we planned to rebook. I will look for a date in February 2023.
