Historic Georgian Stone Built Cottage

Stay in a beautifully restored, historic first settlers cottage built of convict-cut stone on a property first granted 200 years ago. Enjoy the solitude, the bird life and wonderful country views across the lake. Relax with a wine on the front verandah looking across the lake or lounge on the deck and catch some rays. Unique, comfortable and decorated with great taste, this entire cottage is yours with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sitting room with stone fireplace, galley kitchen and dining area with great views. Ideal for two friendly couples heading out of the hustle and bustle of the city to breathe fresh air and recharge the batteries. Loads of exercise opportunities ... swim in the river at the village, climb the ranges behind the cottage, paddle out on the lake ... ride your mountain bike in some of the toughest trails in Oz. Or .. walk the historic Old North Road. It's all here. Please note that the drive includes 2.2km of unsealed, graded road to our driveway entrance.

Lovely getaway
We booked this from the US as we needed lodging close to our daughter’s wedding venue (St Joseph’s Guesthouse). The property exceeded our expectations. Drew and Kerrie were excellent hosts and able to accommodate our request for an extra night.

A beautiful experience
Our stay at the First Farm was a truly wonderful experience. A tastefully renovated heritage property at an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location, steeped in history. Welcoming and generous hosts that were easy to communicate with. The perfect spot for a romantic weekend or family catch up (especially during the St Albans festival)!

Great for a wedding in St Albans
We stayed at the cottage to attend a friend's wedding in St Albans. Overall, the property was lovely - clean, interesting and peaceful. Beware if you are over 6ft tall, the doorframes are quite low and that was an issue for my partner. Loved the small touches, including a stocked fridge (there are no shops in St Albans) including eggs, bread and milk. Our daughter loved seeing the kangaroos hanging outside the cottage on arrival. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Weekend at St Albans
Great place to get away from it all. Lovely views, very peaceful. Amazing old sandstone building, well appointed. Unfortunately, there was a mix up in the booking and the place had been double booked (through two different online booking organisations) for the weekend which was a bit uncomfortable (people were already in there when we arrived) but it was resolved.

Stay did not go ahead
We advised the owner via the Stayz website that we were advised against proceeding with the booking due to flood warnings for the locality and to avoid putting a strain on local resources in the circumstances. Our message was: Dear Drew and Kerrie We have arrived in Sydney but have been advised that the St Albans Fire Brigade has issued major flood warnings and that all providers of tourist accommodation are required to ask current tenants to leave the area and advise future tenants not to come. Would you please confirm this to be the case for your cottage? We are very disappointed of course. Kind regards Elizabeth Game Drew, the owner, subsequently rang me and I advised that we planned to rebook. I will look for a date in February 2023.
