The cottage is well appointed with a large kitchen including dishwasher and microwave and the living area has a slow combustion wood fire to keep you warm and cozy in the winter while enjoying a glass of red or cup of hot chocolate. The cottage also has ducted air conditioning to keep you cool in the summer. The large outdoor area includes a gas barbeque and outdoor dining as well as a long bench with bar stools where you can just sit, watch the cows grazing and enjoy the scenery. We are located just 2.5 kms from Thirlmere township and the NSW Train Museum which offers steam train rides every weekend and regular visits from Thomas the Tank Engine and is also home to the Steam Train Festival which is held annually in March.

Such a lovely little getaway with my young family.
The kids loved the cows and sheep that always came up to say hi.
House was clean, tidy and comfortable and the inside fire was so lovely. Close to picton (10 min drive) for a meal.
Great stay at the farm and perfect location for a couple of nights while visiting Thomas at the Rail Museum. Our 3 year old loved saying good morning to the animals.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Host is great with communication. Home is amazing, clean and very inviting. Highly recommend and will be staying here again!
We loved the property and communication and directions from the owner were great. The accommodation has everything you need and was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Such a beautiful little house. Perfect for my family of 4 to switch of and relax away from busy city life. Had everything we needed. The weather wasn’t the best but made the stay more special curled up in front of the fire 🙏 thank you!!! We definitely will be back.
This was a wonderful stay in a great location. We visited from Central Coast,NSW and it was the perfect little weekend away. Very clean with lots of nice touches. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to anyone travelling with another couple looking for a quiet and wholesome getaway.
Had a wonderul weekend in Thirlmere with nights kept warm with a cozy fireplace (their is an air con, but the fireplace keepa the whole house warm and adds a cozy atmosphere), a fully fitted out kitchen and a clean and comfortable house that we'll definitely be returning to.
What an amazing little property and fantastic location. It was a real treat to stay with my family in Little Kingsley. My 1 year old absolutely loved feeding the cows and sheep every morning with bread rolls provided by the owner. Lovely extras such as kids toys/books and board games. The only things that I would suggest is a washing machine, especially for people staying for longer periods, lock on internal door to garage for toddlers, and a fire guard. Thank you for having us and we will definitely be back to visit again.
Loved our stay. Place was modern, yet cozy with a beautiful farm outdoors. It was clean and had good appliances. Fireplace was awesome. Really enjoyed the property and everything was clearly intricate and thoughtful.

Beautiful property, quiet. Lovely to see animals etc especially new born Lamb's.
This place was even better than advertised. It’s has everything you need, a place for a fire inside and out, and a full kitchen for cooking.
Plus you get some visitors every now and then(cows and sheep). One of the best weekends away! Can’t wait to visit again.
We had a fantastic stay! We loved the house - really clean and modern. Kitchen was very well appointed with many things needed for home cooking and for the BBQ. The fireplace kept us cozy and we all enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. It was great to see all the cows and sheep grazing on the property and the kids loved feeding them hay over the fence just a few meters from our back door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The location and cottage was great. Very clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. It’s quiet and peaceful. We especially liked the fresh bread and eggs when we arrived. Lots of games for families and a cosy fireplace that was all ready for us to just light. The host was extremely friendly and very helpful. Would definitely stay again!
So good to escape the day to day to a beautiful modern and very clean cottage, so close to Sydney. Loved the cows, sheep and spoilt to see the lambs. Fresh eggs was a lovely treat. Host was very accommodating and it was really just perfect
Alaine's cottage combine comfort and convenience with getting back to nature. We were able to experience the fun of an outdoor fire-pit and BBQ amongst the trees and cows, while our infant son slept soundly indoors in air-conditioned comfort.
