our story
There was a turtle on the driveway the very first time we visited the property on Australia Day in January 2016.
When we stopped the car to move him delicately back to the creek, we saw our first glimpse of the sandstone farmhouse that would become our home. We are instantly in love.
The dream was to create a bolt-hole for friends and family, and a place full of imagination and adventure for our children to grow up.
First, there was a lot of work to be done. We had frogs living in the loo, the grass was knee high and a garden hose connected the house to the water tank. We wanted to retain the character and beauty of the house but update the interiors to a new level of luxury.
It wasn’t just the house in need of some love. We added a garden, orchard and veggie patch. We rested the overworked farmland for twelve months before introducing a fold of handsome and curious Highland Cows. We have also planted over 5000 trees. Just saplings to begin with, they now tower over us.
A lot has changed since our first day at Warramba but much remains the same. Emu Swamp Creek still winds through the landscape with its dancing river reeds and wombat holes, a mob of kangaroos still hangs out on the hill and turtles still amble across to the dam for a dip.
Warramba is a very special place. We look forward to welcoming you to our home.
