Stockmans Cottage - historic rural property

A peaceful country escape on a historic New England cattle and sheep station.
Wake to wide rural views, fresh country air and the quiet beauty of life at Waterloo Station.

The Stockman's Cottage sits within the tranquil surrounds of Waterloo Station, a historic pastoral property in the New England region of northern New South Wales. Fully self-contained and thoughtfully appointed, the cottage offers a warm and inviting place to unwind, reconnect and enjoy the rhythm of country life.

Overlooking the picturesque Waterloo Range and the quaint Matheson Church, the cottage provides a beautiful setting in every season. Wander the property, play tennis in the homestead grounds, or enjoy swimming and fishing in nearby Wellingrove Creek running throughout the property. The surrounding region also offers charming cafés, galleries, heritage towns and seasonal local events.
Inside, the cottage blends country comfort with old-world charm. Share meals around the farmhouse table, enjoy a BBQ on the veranda, or relax in the cosy lounge beside the slow combustion wood fire. An eclectic collection of country finds creates a welcoming space for gathering with family and friends.

Wi-Fi is available for guests, and the Smart TV offers access to Stan, Netflix and Prime.

During the cooler months, guests may enjoy the wood fire for added warmth and ambience. Firewood is available for an additional heating fee. If you would like firewood supplied for your stay, please ensure the heating fee is selected when booking (this listing uses the heating category to cover the cost of wood supply).

Awesome spot. Great for families and those with a pet. Relaxing with beautiful outlook. The only thing that greatly lets it down is the bathroom is really needing an upgrade. With the cost of the stay we were expecting better bathroom conditions.

Fabulous farm stay

Thank you to Deb for a wonderful stay at Stockmans Cottage. The history of the property was so fascinating and we loved staying on a working farm. Highlights were the fishing, picnicking down by the river, farm animals for the kids, and evening BBQs under the starry skies. We hope to return again one day - thank you for sharing this magical place with us.

Literally perfect

Couldn't have been better. Magical location with amazing views, idyllic sunrises and sunsets, beautiful animals, a beautiful river. We saw amazing things, caught some amazing cod (bucket list Murray Cod!), found sapphires (blue and green) and visited some amazing local places.

Wonderful property to relax and enjoy.

We arrived to a beautiful homestead and property and checked into the Stockmans Cottage which was just amazing. Fantastic outloook, character and charm and wonderful space for the dogs to run and play , without having to worry about them. We took time to explore the station, shearing shed and platypus creek, and just adored it all. Never enough time. There are some wonderful places in Australia to see and enjoy, but we wanted to say thank you for allowing us to enjoy your special piece of paradise.

Excellent farm stay in New England region

Our group (2 couples) stayed at Stockmans Cottage for 3 nights in early November 2021. Don the owner, was a very friendly chap who checked in to make sure we were happy and set up, gave us a tour of the main house and some great tips on where to watch platypus (didn’t see any unfortunately) and local information. We used the house as a base to explore Bald Rock, Boonoo Boonoo and the area, rather than staying in town. Lovely to sit on the verandah watching the sheep, or in front of the fire. Well set up for self-catering re: kitchen. Some nice touches, e.g. fire set up, plenty of wood, basic supplies in fridge (eggs, milk, muffins). Would definitely recommend - and would recommend the shearer’s quarters for bigger groups.

A touch of Luxury and History

This is our second stay at the Waterloo property. With the various accommodation options, (all with those little luxury touches), there is something for anyone who enjoys getting away from the hustle and bustle. The homestead has all the old world charm, and is a sight to behold, with the renovations continuing on a luxurious scale. Both the schoolhouse, the Stockman's Cottage, and the shearer's lodgings are very comfortable and have all the amenities and little touches for a very welcoming stay. We are looking forward to returning soon.

Just what we needed

We stayed at the Stockmans Cottage over Easter 2019. We had a simply lovely four days - enjoying the beautiful countryside & fossicking for sapphires were highlights. The property was really comfortable with some lovely touches from Deborah. It was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge.

Peaceful and relaxing property where you could wander anywhere, and there were plenty of spots to have a picnic or just laze around. Our dog also loved the open fields where she could explore.

Waterloo Station Cottage

Two of us and our dog just spent three nights at the cottage and found it so comfortable and warm with everything needed (and then some) for a winter break. The cattle and sheep seem to be surviving the current drought, and the pretty creek is still running and gurgling. Deborah responded promptly and helpfully to enquiries, and we loved our walks around the historic buildings.

Country Retreat

So very peaceful. We stayed in the stockmans cottage which was a fully equipped home away from home. It has a beautiful outlook through the gums, across the paddock to the hills. You are free to take walks around this gorgeous historic property, or just sit on the cottage verandah and soak up the atmosphere. Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming and directed us to the points of interest on the property. Deb even encouraged us to raid her luscious vegie garden! This offer was too good to resist.
