Country town stay near Canberra
Overview
Please note that I have moved, and so the first few reviews are for my previous location. Now located in the beautiful town of Gunning, in the Southern Tablelands, since September 2024. Different location, same friendly homestay! Hello, and welcome! Why Gunning? Gunning is a wonderful little town, with a great location situated on the Goulburn/Yass/Canberra triangle. It is perfect stopping point if travelling to or from Sydney, the Snowy Mountains, Canberra or Melbourne. Or, equally a central base if you would like to explore the beautiful Southern Tablelands region. It is very accessible by car or train, and the house itself is located a 4 minute drive from the freeway, and a 2 minute walk from Gunning Station. The house full of character, located in a quiet and attractive street, in Gunning NSW. It was the original shop keeper's house, with his shop being next door (now the location of the Scout Hall). It is within walking distance of the main street with cafes, small convenience store, chemist and butcher, post office and the library. A local pool is also within walking distance. Goulburn, Yass and Crookwell are all an approximate 25 minutes drive away, where you can find larger supermarkets and other amenities. Canberra is about 45 minute drive away. The house is 2 minutes from the Gunning train station which provides a daily service between Sydney and Melbourne. The bedroom on offer is for single occupancy only, and is located to the front of the house. It includes a double bed (with linen and towels provided) and generous built in robe. It also includes a wonderful library of books. The main bathroom is shared and is at the back of the house. There is a sitting room with TV, separate dining room, kitchen, laundry and WC. The house has a lovely front porch, and a verandah to the rear, which leads to a beautiful garden. The kitchen is small, but full of character! Due to it's size, it is unfortunately only available for making drinks. I am an avid cook and prepare all meals for you during your stay, and can cater for vegetarian diets, or others on request. I am in my early 50s and work-full-time from home in architecture and design. I enjoy cooking, gardening, art, swimming and keeping fit. I also have a two cats called Ambrose and Dominique, who love people coming to stay and will enjoy getting to know you!
