The Accommodation

A home full of history & charm

The charming Settlers Rest Farm Cottage, dating back to the turn of the 20th century, is the sole guest accommodation on the 14 acre farm. Lovingly restored, this home offers guests a taste of Australian yesteryear with the added bonus of modern facilities ensuring all the comforts of today.

A separate dining room and fully equipped country kitchen make family self-catering a breeze. The cosy lounge features an open fireplace, while laundry and bathroom facilities are included.

The cottage sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms: queen in the main, double and single in the second, and two singles in the third.

“Even though Swan Valley has many attractions to visit, it is a must to cater time to stay at the farmhouse and enjoy what this lovely place has to offer. Bring along indoor slippers for the cooler months, some firestarters, carrots & apples, and you are set for a wonderful farmstay.”
