A mere two-hour drive from bustling Sydney, you’ll feel as though you’ve entered a blissful new world as you arrive at Broger’s End.

Accredited by EcoTourism Australia, and beautifully set on a 160-acre working farm with permaculture gardens, you’ll be surrounded by invigorating green views in every direction. Simply head across the field for an energising dip in the Kangaroo River, or indulge in some wondrous mountain bush walking trails, right from your front door.

You’ll find two rustic, solar-powered dwellings here; The Shed, a luxuriously large haven with three double bedrooms, and The Dairy, ideal for a couple (with a sofa bed for extra guests).

The Shed, an aptly-named conversion of the farm shed, has been lovingly transformed into a spacious and creative retreat, using recycled and reclaimed materials wherever possible. The décor and cosy furnishings follow a similar theme, with a gorgeous mix of ornate and rustic throughout.

The large, light-filled living area is the ideal catch-up spot, complete with crackling wood fire and a well-equipped kitchen. Pour your favourite drinks, then head to the attached open-plan bay area, which features a pool table, pizza oven and barbecue.

Later on, head upstairs to claim your favourite from the irresistibly comfy bedrooms on offer.

The 70 year-old Dairy was once a milking shed, and features three sets of French doors that were used to let in three cows to be milked at once! These days, those stunning doors open up the living area beautifully, allowing access to the wisteria vine-covered, al-fresco dining area.

More information

Treat yourselves to some freshly-laid farm eggs for breakfast – an ideal way to fuel up for a long day of adventure and exploring (or lazing with a good book, of course).

You’ll find nearby Kangaroo Valley Town stocked with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to while away some time in, with gourmet delicacies, antique shops and art galleries for the more refined!

Jervis Bay, with its crystal-clear water and paradise coastline, is the perfect setting for a day at the beach, and if you prefer something a little more thrill-seeking then there are plenty of local activities to get involved with. Hire a canoe or kayak, take a horse riding tour, or head for the local Jack Newton-designed golf club.

However you decide to spend your time, nothing will beat that soul-soothing feeling of heading back to your tranquil Broger’s End sanctuary by evening, just in time for a chilled glass of local wine.
