Nice little property
A great little place with lovely views, only 15-20mins from town. Perfect for 3 adults or a couple with younger kids. Communication with the owners was great and the fireplace was fantastic on a cold wet day. Only a minor inconvenience, no smart tv meant no Netflix, but we would definitely stay again

Perfect winters getaway
A lovely quiet spot just outside of Goulburn. Very spacious and clean. Plenty of firewood to keep warm of an evening. Wonderful views; looking forward to coming back.

Brilliant
This is our 2nd stay at Kippilaw. The last time at the Stone Cottage and this time at the Shearer's Quarters. Our stay was brilliant, from the fire that was burning upon our arrival, to the well stocked kitchen to the spacious bathroom and living area and the view is something that you can never put a price on. Thank you Lynelle and Andrew.

Excellent homestead
The farm is so special place. It's heritage. Our kids enjoyed all the farm animals. The swimming pool is so good. And playing tennis was just a cherry on the top of the cake. We are happy to recommend this accommodation and I think we'll come back. Thank you

Beautiful!
The homestead was so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing! It was so lovely to sit and relax while listening to all the animals. There was plenty to do on the homestead, from feeding and patting the animals to playing tennis. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back as soon as we can!!

Weekend at Kippilaw
We have had such a special weekend at Kippilaw, this place really is a treasure! The homestead and the scenery is picture perfect, there are countless things to do with active kids and it’s all within easy driving distance from Sydney. We will be back and will stay for longer next time!

The long room.
Fabulous place to stay with wonderful views over the country side and down to the river. Majestic old trees in a beautiful spring garden full of hidden treasures and colourful flowers. Country comfort at it's best.

Beautiful country getaway
Absolute 5 star on everything. Completely faultless, from the gorgeous location of the perfect cottage, to the bacon and eggs for breakfast. We arrived on a cold, rainy afternoon to find the fire on and the cottage already cozy. Can't wait to come again.

Great getaway
This farm stay was perfect! The property is beautiful, accommodation is clean and well equipped with everything you need. Lynelle was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodatin.The property manager Darren was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. He even had the fireplace roaring when we arrived, it was little touches like this that make it so welcoming. My boys loved exploring the farm and feeding the animals. We look forward to visiting again

Stunningly authentic
After a blustery windy drive from Sydney we were met at the gate by the most obliging manager, who had lit a wonderfully warm fire well before our arrival. Heaven. The Shearers Quarters is refurbished in a most thoughtful and tasteful style. The hospitality overall could not be more generous- the kitchen well stocked and we helped ourselves to fresh eggs from the hen house and veggies from the garden. How Australia used to be. It's a privilege to have experienced this beautiful and authentic slice of Australian life

Warm, welcoming and cosy farmland cottage
Great property with fantastic views of the surrounding farm land. The kids loved visiting the nearby animals (especially the miniature donkeys!) and collecting fresh eggs. Tennis court was an added bonus. Cosy fireplace and immaculately clean, renovated rooms made for a fabulous stay.

Quality property
The Shearers' Quarters is roomy for a couple or a small family. There is a lot of natural light, great views from inside and a large deck to enjoy. We were visiting in weather with overnight temperatures close to zero but the interior could be kept nicely warm with an occasional bit of attention to the slow combustion fire. The bath, bed linen, robes and towels were all very nice. The kitchen is pretty well equipped and near new. The breakfast provisions were nice. You might want to take gladwrap/aluminium foil if you need that for cooking or storage. Some newspaper for starting the fire might be handy. While there are other guests staying on the property, you will probably have privacy unless you seek others out. The Shearers' Quarters has one common wall with a neighbouring accommodation but the common wall is only in the bathroom. There was a family with a baby staying next door but they could not be heard from the living room or bedroom of the Shearers' quarters. The country location is beautiful and this historic property, gardens and animals can easily consume half a day exploring. Those running the property were very efficient and pleasant to deal with.
