The Neighborhood:
Bathurst is located on the banks of the Macquarie River, it is a vibrant country city with a rich cultural heritage.
Bathurst is the heartland of motor racing in Australia, but the famed Mount Panorama circuit isn't the only drawcard of this thriving regional centre. A rich goldfields history, spectacular limestone caves and a year-long program of events and festivals make this Central Tablelands town a must-see.
Bathurst is a city of contrasts; constantly evolving. Heritage-listed buildings and rich history fuse with incredible museums and galleries.

Getting Around:
Car, Taxi or Public Transport

Other Things to Note:
- The house is on rainwater, so please use it thoughtfully. The bathrooms drain to a septic system, so it is only appropriate for organic waste and toilet paper.

- Fireplace & Firepit: this property has a fireplace and firepit that you are more than welcome to use in the cooler months if you wish. We do not provide wood so please be aware of this when booking. We will remind you in the check in details to purchase wood along with firestarters and matches prior to your arrival and can give you locations on where to pick up wood on the way.

Interaction with Guests:
I plan on giving my guests space but am available when needed. It is a working farm and you may see the owner from time to time.

Friends weekend
This was a great place to spend some time with friends for the weekend! We enjoyed staying at a place that was out of town, but still close enough to easily go into Bathurst when we wanted. The property was a great size, and very relaxing! My dog thought it was a great place for exploring and endless running around! Its somewhere I would highly recommend

Bathurst Getaway
We had four days at Laffing Waters Estate and didn’t want to leave. The accommodation here was just perfect. Beautiful ,spacious, clean and had everything you could want. The outdoor area was stunning and we just loved sitting outside. Ideal location which was so quiet but only a 10 minute drive to centre of town. Highly recommend this accomodation.

A Great Week
A group of eight people all over 67 years of age. Stayed for five nights to attend a conference in Bathurst and this home / house was just perfect. Everything we could have ever wished for from the home itself with wonderful gardens and grounds to meander around to everyday utensils you would ever need. So spacious with the best ambience ever. Thank you.

Country Charm
Really enjoyed our stay, the location was great far enough out of Bathurst to feel secluded but with only a 10 minute drive to the CBD made the location ideal. The accommodation was clean, equipped with everything you need, including a well equipped kitchen. I also loved the well maintained gardens and the open living spaces. Only downside was the beds I’m use to a firm mattress the mattress was way to soft for me. I highly recommend this property if you looking for a country escape.

Beautiful well presented property.
Far enough away from Bathurst cbd to get that isolated country feel at only 5 minute drive to everything you need. Thanks for the opportunity to share your property with us.
