The Grounds

Land For Wildlife

Whilst a dog friendly and wildlife friendly property may seem at odds, we’re striking a balance by building and enhancing habitats that provide food and shelter and protect wildlife from feral and domestic predators.

Learn more about our Land For Wildlife projects.

Explore Our Habitat Garden

Our habitat gardens and open woodland covers about 10 acres of the total 25 acre property so there is lots of space to explore. Its an endless work in progress but we aim to showcase plants that are indigenous to the local area and enhance the biodiversity of the area.

The vibrant habitat gardens give guests the chance to observe and appreciate native feathered, scaled and furred friends in their natural setting.

Firepit

Guests can enjoy a fire around our beautiful welcome to use the fire pit in the cooler months when fire bans are not in force. Firewood is provided but collecting it from around the grounds is also part of the fun!

Wilderness

Our bushland beyond the dam can be enjoyed from near and far. For those wanting to explore, we have marked out a path (look for the pink markings on trees) that winds through our wetland and onto our dry eucalypt forest.

Harvest Garden

Herbs and vegetables are grown for guests in the Harvest Garden. Depending on the season we grow cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, zucchini, strawberries aloe vera and most common herbs.

Nature Play

We love getting kids outdoors enjoying some nature play. For a bit of encouragement we have a large swing set, a fairy garden (in the Harvest Garden) and an undercover mud kitchen (cafe) in one of our outdoor undercover areas.

Orchard

Not your typical orchard, we have established fruit trees scattered throughout the gardens. Depending on the season, you might find pears, apricots, plums, apples, nectarines and macadamias.

Citrus Grove

Over near the chook pen, you’ll find a grove of citrus trees. We encourage guests to enjoy the seasonal offerings including limes, lemons, mandarins, lemonade, ruby grapefruit and oranges.

We had the best time. Beautiful house and location is perfect if you want the bush feel and still be close to spectacular beaches. Gabrielle madethe baby cot and high chair available for our little man which was a great help.Amazing surprise to wake up with kangaroos in the back yard welcoming you to Bungwahl.

Warialda is a characterful spacious and well presented cottage in a very private and serene bush setting. Wake up to the sound of birds and end the day with a wine by the fire pit. Dog friendly , safe and fun for our corgi. Also great grassy surrounds for children to explore , with swings and ball kicking spaces . Close to beautiful beaches and great coffee spots. Perfect accommodation for a family and couples . Good Wi-Fi connection . We would like to return to Warialda for another restful getaway.

My wife and I were joined by our friends for a beautiful and tranquil weekend away from the hustle and bustle of normal life.The property was stunning and provided everything you could ever need to enjoy a laid back stay. Beds were very comfy and living area and balcony provided get social spots to hang out. Fire pit and garden was enjoyed by all but please be away due to the location of the property, the garden may get boggy at times so gum boots are a must if you’d like to fully enjoy a walk around the property. We would highly recommend staying here. Short drives to beaches and lakes make the days even more enjoyable.Thanks for having us. 10/10

We had a wonderfully relaxing week at Gabrielle’s beautiful property! The place is very well set up and we enjoyed the space, indoor (&outdoor) fire place, and the very well set up kitchen (fantastic coffee machine and great amount of kitchen utensils). The property is amazing and it was lovely to be able to wander around each day, collect firewood, pick fruits off the trees and enjoy the surroundings. Most importantly, our dog (Pumba) had the best time!
