"Corang" was part of a large mixed farming and grazing property (four generations) on the southwest slopes of New South Wales.

It is here that your hosts, Colleen and Greg Hines, have lived for more than 44 years and raised their five children, now all married.

The property is now a small block where horses are bred for harness racing and houses a farm museum of the family heritage. The 55 square homestead and large gardens offer great comfort, relaxation and privacy.

Be pampered with good old fashioned silver service in the elegant Louis XV dining room, with a five course old fashioned country meal, complimentary pre-dinner drinks and local Hilltops wines, or sip champagne by the pool and enjoy a cold supper on balmy romantic nights.

Watch the magic sunsets from the deck leading off the gallery.

The village of Wallendbeen has four distinct seasons, each with it's own beauty and changing "On Farm" operations. We invite you to come share with us and experience on our farm. It is here that you will participate in a real Aussie Farm Stay!
