Uncle Tom's Cabin - Wanamara Farm

Rustic 90 year old shearing shed oozing memories of yesteryear with cosy living quarters and picturesque country views. Enjoy the peace and serenity sitting on the veranda watching cattle in the paddock or taking in the sunset. Two bedrooms offer accommodation for up to 7 people (couples or a family) and a pet (MAX.2) may be approved on request. We also have Nim's Cottage as accommodation for up to 3 people which can also be booked through AirBNB. The space Uncle Tom's Cabin is a converted shearing shed so retains some of original features. It has a large open living/eating area to easily accommodate a number of people at the one time. A verandah across the front overlooks paddocks of cows with the Dookie hills in the distance. The bedrooms are spacious & cosy and a large bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity services the cabin. The kitchenette has a dishwasher and microwave. A large BBQ with a separate gas burner can be used for cooking on the verandah. The open living/dining area has a wood fire and split system for heating and air conditioning during extreme weather conditions which is normal in northern Victoria. As we are situated in rural Victoria NBN internet and mobile phone reception are not always reliable. The cabin does not have internet but some guests have been able to 'hot spot' from the verandah. See our private silo art featuring Kelly the Wonder Dog and our Australian Lowline cattle painted by renowned Australian artist, Jimmy Dvate. Guest access Guests can drive and park beside the cabin. If you have a pet, you will have to keep the gate closed into the accommodation area. As we have farm animals, all pets must be on a leash when outside the accommodation area. Guests are welcome to enjoy our farm but are asked to keep pets on a leash while outside the accommodation. Due to Farm Biosecurity guests are not permitted in the paddocks. Other things to note We have been breeding our stud Australian Lowline cattle for over 27 years. The occasional mooing of cows or barking of dogs when foxes are around will be the only noises you will hear. We have a variety of birdlife around the farm and native animals will visit at night and are often heard on the roof. You need to be on the lookout for snakes in the Spring/Summer which is normal for country areas.
