Self check-in

Check yourself in with the key safe.
Meander down a quiet country lane near the hamlet of Edith & immerse yourself in the charm of ‘Beechwood Cottage’.
Only 12-minutes from Oberon & not on a noisy main road, our Cottage had its humble beginnings back in 1890s as a pisé or rammed-earth farm worker’s dwelling.
It has been lovingly transformed into a warm, comfortable & modern country residence.
Come, stay awhile… marvel at our wide-open skies, enjoy the song of the birds & be touched by the dusting of starlight.

The space
The Cottage offers three bedrooms. The Olive and Highland rooms both have queen beds. The snug third bedroom, the Meadows, has two single beds. All are provided with quality linen, seasonal doonas and electric blankets. The Highland room has an extensive selection of books and a small TV.

There is a large, fully equipped country-style kitchen, including a fridge, microwave, oven with cooktop and a dishwasher. The modern bathroom is beautifully appointed. A spacious and comfortable family room awaits, complete with a blue-tooth sound bar, a small music system and a selection of classic CDs. There’s also children’s books, Lego & toys.

There is Mobile phone reception - dependent upon your service provider.
There is also Internet (with unlimited data).
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to the Cottage being located in a ‘rural’ area, there could be fluctuations in the strength of the Internet signal.

An efficient slow combustion wood heater in the family room effectively warms the Cottage throughout. Heaters are also provided in most rooms for added comfort. There are also ceiling fans throughout.

For our valued guests’ enjoyment, a special ‘Beechwood Cottage’ Continental Breakfast Basket is provided with our compliments.

The Cottage is set privately within our picturesque, 20-acre property of ‘Strath|Anann’. Beechwood Cottage is surrounded by its own fully fenced house yard and is screened from the host’s farmhouse, which is a little over 120 metres away, by a stand of magnificent Cypress Pine trees.

The Cottage house yard provides ample space for our guests to enjoy outdoor activities, or perhaps to simply sit and relax under the beautiful Portuguese Laurel tree.
A good supply of pre-cut firewood is provided. There is a large covered rear deck from which to enjoy the panoramic views, a gas bbq and a fire-pit to sit around and perhaps toast a marshmallow or two (seasonal fire conditions permitting).

Guest access
The Cottage is set privately within the picturesque, 20 acre property of ‘Strath|Anann’. Beechwood Cottage is surrounded by its own fully fenced house-yard and is screened from your hosts’ farmhouse, which is a little over 120 metres away, by a stand of magnificent Cypress Pine trees.

Please Note: For your safety and as there are horses agisting in the paddocks that surround the Cottage, guests are requested to remain at all times within the Beechwood Cottage house-yard. (These horses are trotting race horses and can at times be skittish and unpredictable, and can kick. If you choose to wander into the paddocks, we, as your hosts, will not be responsible for your safety).

Guests also need to be aware that there is an unfenced dam on the Eastern boundary of the ‘Strath|Anann’ property. Once again, we strongly suggest that you stay within the Beechwood Cottage house yard at all times.

Other things to note
A brand new Ensuite, complete with a washing machine.

Neighbourhood highlights

‘Beechwood Cottage’ is ideally located to experience and enjoy the many and varied attractions that the spectacular Oberon district has to offer. The Jenolan Caves, (with the famous Chisolm’s Restaurant in the Grand Dining Room at Caves House), Kanangra-Boyd National Park, and the Waldara Farm Wedding Venue are all within a short drive.

At the Edith Common, guests can enjoy a free game of tennis or cricket or utilise the picnic tables there. Visit the magnificent Mayfield Garden and our 18-hole Golf Course on shores of Lake Oberon. The Evans Crown lookout, (near Tarana), is a worthwhile walk and you’ll be rewarded with a stunning vista. Try your hand at trout fishing on Lake Oberon or one of the area’s mountain streams. The lake is also ideal for kayaking, however you’ll need to bring your own craft & gear. Please also note that Lake Oberon is classified as ‘alpine waters’ so ensure you are very well prepared for the conditions… even in Summer.
Perhaps fossicking, mushroom or truffle gathering might interest you. And there’s also horseback riding available in the Oberon area.

We encourage you to call into the Oberon Visitor Information Centre for further details. See also: visitoberon.com

The township of Oberon, 15 minutes away, offers restaurants, cafes, a wood-fired Pizza Bar, Pub food and supermarkets, for your dining and provision requirements. Our local ‘Casey’s Vineyard’ and the award-winning wineries of Orange and Mudgee would also make for a wonderful day’s outing. Perhaps you’ll be tempted to visit the ‘Sparadise Japanese Bath House’, about an hour away at South Bowenfels, this side of Lithgow.

My work: Ex Creative Director
Most useless skill: I can do all of The Three Stooges moves.
After careers in Sydney in advertising, marketing and education, we took a giant ‘leap of faith’ & headed out to Oberon in 2015. We were led in time to a stunning parcel of land in Edith, where found an original 1890s rammed-earth dwelling much in need of love & restoration. So we set about creating a unique & homely country escape like no other, and thus our ‘Beechwood Cottage’ was born. Why not come & stay awhile?
