Stay at Ashmar Farm Cottage
Your private country cottage
Our warm, welcoming retreat has been designed with families and friends groups in mind, the cottage offers everything you need to relax, reconnect and enjoy life at your own pace.
Bedrooms
Inside, the cottage sleeps up to 12 guests comfortably across a mix of charming and thoughtfully styled rooms.
The bunk room, located off the kitchen, is a favourite with both kids and adults. It features solid timber bunk beds, a trundle and two single beds, all arranged with a country view and a ceiling fan to keep things cool on warmer nights.
Two other bedrooms include a double room with soft country linens and natural light and great air flow, and a spacious family room with a Queen size bed and 2 singles, that sleeps up to four. Linens and towels are provided for guests.
An additional self-contained flat with its own bathroom offers extra privacy and space - ideal for multi-generational families or visiting friends. Available with a booking of 6 adults.
Farmhouse kitchen
At the heart of the cottage is our beloved farmhouse kitchen, a space that brings everyone together. True to its heritage, this kitchen features benchtops, cupboard doors and a wall-mounted plate rack crafted from recycled Oregon timber, once part of the old farm shed walls.
With a beeswax finish and original fittings, including repurposed garden taps at the sink, it’s as charming as it is functional. Fully equipped with a gas oven, fridge, microwave and all the cookware you’ll need, it’s perfect for preparing hearty meals to share at the big table. With kitchen essentials provided for guests, all that’s left is boiling the kettle so you can enjoy your cuppa.
Living room
The adjoining lounge room invites you to slow down and enjoy time together, whether it’s board games by the crackling wood fire in cooler months or simply gazing out across the paddocks from the large windows. For our repeat guests, spot yourself on our photo wall!
There’s one main bathroom inside the cottage, with an additional bathroom in the separate flat if included in your booking, plus laundry facilities (with a second toilet) to make longer stays easy.
Outdoor areas
Outside, there’s room to roam. The cottage is set in a lovely country garden and has a BBQ in a covered courtyard. The garden is a wonderful place for you to enjoy the peace and quiet and to watch the many native birds and nearby grazing cattle. Kids can explore, adults can unwind, and everyone can gather under the stars by the firepit.
Whether you’re milking cows in the morning, feeding chickens in the afternoon, or simply taking in the quiet, Ashmar is a place where you can truly switch off.
What sets us truly apart and why we have been operating for close to 40 years is simple: authentic and real experiences, real people and a space that’s genuinely yours.
With exclusive access to the entire farmstay, you can be fully yourselves, connect with nature and unwind without compromise. Whether it’s a quiet couple’s retreat or a weekend with family or friends, this is your space to breath, laugh and reconnect.
This is a farmstay where you’re not just visiting - you’re part of something truly special.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ashmar Farmstay!
