About this property

The Quarters - A real farm experience


The renovation is complete. A warm and charming farm stay awaits - a far cry from the basic abode provided to the many shearers that passed through Bondonga wool shed. Whilst maintaining its atmosphere and ambience, we provide a comfortable, well appointed and romantic experience for you to enjoy.

BONDONGA

Is a 6th generation sheep station encompassing 920 ha of undulating to hilly pastures. The focus is on the production of quality grass fed lamb. We endeavour to treat our land and animals with the greatest respect. Extensive tree planting has been undertaken and 180 acres of remnant bush is being preserved and managed. Kangaroos, wallabies and the precious platypus, along with a multitude of beautiful birds, live within the property's boundary.

Take the opportunity to experience real farm life on the ATV Tours. Hear first hand about Australian farmers, see sheep and lambs, feel the wool, experience the sounds and smell of a working shearing shed.

THE REGION

The Quarters is located 11km from the sophisticated rural city of Orange and only 3km from some of Orange's most successful vineyards - Mayfield, Sassy and Moody's.

Orange, with its vibrant and delectable food culture, is an easy drive showcasing numerous restaurants, cafes, parks and gardens.

Byng, with its convict built church and period homesteads, is a 'Must See' and only 5 minutes from Bondonga.

Enjoy the unspoiled natural beauty of the Ophir Reserve, 30 minutes from Bondonga, where Gold was first discovered in Australia in 1851. Take a picnic lunch, wander the old diggings and pan for gold.

The historic town of Millthorpe, classified by the National Trust, with its untouched cobblestone streetscape and federation buildings, top class restaurants, cafes and galleries is only a 20 minute drive.

Sam's Review
We had a fabulous time at The Quarters. We had a great experience for children to experience the rural lifestyle. The Quarters is fully equipped with all your needs and all essentials. Highly recommend a farm tour with Chris on their farm to get a good feel of what rural life farming and the history of the area and the farm. My children walked away with great knowledge and a lot of respect for the land and an understanding of farming. Chris and Fran are great people and the hospitality of making us all welcomed was world class. Would definitely stay again, Chris, Fran once again a big thank you from me and my children. Regards Sam and kids See you soon.

Absolutely gorgeous
Well, what a property. The cottage is stunning, its old country charm took me back to living on the farm. It was clean, well presented and nothing was spared. More than enough linen, blankets, towels and pillows. The gas fire was gorgeous to sit by and the subtle baa of the sheep created this beautiful relaxing sense of happiness. We stayed here for 4 nights for our wedding recently, our children with us on some nights and they were comfortable, warm and loved spending time in the lounge and garden. The whole cottage is just homely and comfortable and the external gardens, stunning. The hosts Fran and Chris were easy to reach, accomodating and helpful. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for having us. Rae Family xx

Wedding Stay
Fran and Chris have created the most idyllic, quaint and cosy cottage. We stayed the night before our wedding and it was where we all got ready on the big day. The cottage is sun-filled and bright with the most gorgeous garden and surrounds. The warmth and cosiness of the cottage made it a relaxing start to our big day. We recommend a stay at The Quarters for anyone looking for a country getaway

Amazing property fully equipped with everything you need on holiday with the family. Sunset was gorgeous! Get the fire pit going for some marshmallows. Beautiful scenery and surrounding towns too! Inside the house the fireplace in the living room was the best
