Arlamont. Perfect For Large Family Gatherings

On the edge of the Blue Mountains, near Waldara, Jenolan Caves, Kanangra NP, Mt Panorama & Mayfield Gardens. The farm house provides comfort, warmth and privacy and is surrounded by 260 acres of stunning views. Suited to large families or groups. A fire pit under a billion stars in pure mountain air awaits you. Gold/gem fossickers can dabble in the creek and surrounding rivers in the area. A “treasure hunt” for the kids will get them out and exploring. The space Firstly, space, there's lots of it! On the ground and in the sky. Surrounding the house, you'll find 260 acres of pristine, rolling valleys, which truly show off the ever-changing region. You will look upon the picturesque landscape and bare witness to the four seasons, sunrises and sunsets as you’ve never seen them before. The heart of the property supports an old homestead. The original section of the house was crafted using the 'rammed earth' technique, and built in the early 1900's. In some areas, the walls are 2 feet thick which makes the house quiet and warm. A double brick extension was added to the original house in the 1970's. Step inside and you'll find a warm and cosy space, split into bedrooms and living spaces to allow for many guests. Yes, this is a country house, but you'll find bedding and amenities suited to an inner city hotel - plush, spacious and comfortable beds are available for up to 20 guests. You and your family and friends could be seeking an escape, a bit of time to switch off from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day suburban life. For that, we have novels and magazines, patches of grass for yoga at sunrise. Day trips to Bathurst, Sofala, Kanangra, Katoomba, the gardens of Mayfield, any of the destinations between Arlamont and Sydney as it is only a couple of hours away. Visit Govetts Leap at Blackheath, Hydro Majestic at Medlow Bath, the lolly shop at Leura and The Jellybean Pool at Glenbrook. Maybe the family needs a bit of grounding, a moment to pause, and spend some time with the world away from the net. If you are game enough to disconnect from social media and technology and reconnect with each other then come to Arlamont. The withdrawal symptoms from technology will be softned by the allure of nature, where you can rediscover books, board games and outside activities. There is Wifi for those who succumb. The games cupboard calls for players to start at GO and you’ll find the marshmallows ready for roasting, once the fire pit gets crackling. Make popcorn, pick blackberries (if in season) to bake in the pie maker, master the local cookbook and it’s mighty scone recipe, and, when the sun goes down, search the night sky for satellites, constellations and falling stars. You will wish you had bigger lungs to breathe in the air. The Duckmaloi and Fish River and Oberon Dam are near by which have rainbow and brown trout and also a growing number of redfin. A tagged trophy trout has been released into the streams surrounding Oberon. There are numerous dirt bike tracks around the area and in the surrounding forestry on Bindo (the mountain in most of the outdoor photos). There are beautiful lookouts around Lithgow and Mt Vic and the Small Arms Factory and Glow Worm Cave at Lithgow are definitely worth a look. Guest access When you drive through the gates, Arlamont becomes your space, and we want you enjoy every part of it, not just the house. The boundary walk is beautiful and challenging and you will be invigorated. As it is a working cattle farm, you will encounter farm animals, we only ask that you don't try to chase or scare the animals on the property. Requests may be made when booking to allow your pet to stay at Arlamont. Permission will be granted if possible. If you have animals that may/will chase the stock then they will not be permitted on the property. Most pets will be allowed to on the property. Other things to note - You won't be isolated - a quick duck to the shops will take about 10 mins to drive to Oberon, and you'll be able to find all the essentials. If you are coming from Sydney and arriving late in the day then Katoomba is a more preferable and convenient place to stock up. Central heating is installed for your comfort in Winter and aircon in Summer. Please bring your camp fire wood with you if you intend to have a camp fires. Additional charges will apply if the furniture or bedding is moved, taken outside or re-arranged in the house without prior approval from host. Please note there is ONE SHOWER/BATH and 3 toilets in the house. The bnb site classes toilets as bathrooms and I am unable to change it on the site unless I remove the other 2 toilets from the listing. Registration Details Exempt
