About this country house rental
Welcome to Sugarloaf Dairy, circa 1906 - an eclectic mix of vintage style with contemporary comforts.
Sugarloaf Dairy is the perfect escape, a character-filled quintessential timber weatherboard farmhouse steeped in history and situated in a peaceful Valley only 5kms from historic Dungog. Whilst staying at the dairy you have access to the surrounding gardens, orchards and paddocks. Enjoy the stunning views from the wrap-around veranda or take a stroll through the beautiful gardens down to the freshwater creek. Perfect for entertaining with Ilve stove and large farmhouse table, or bbq in the shady pergola.
The interior is simple but stylish, whitewashed walls, vintage furniture, stainless steel appliances, organic cotton bedlinen and towels. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, the 3rd with two single beds that can be joined to make a queen.
We now have 2 bathrooms.
There is a woodburning combustion heater plus a gas fire for colder evenings, or reverse cycle airconditioning for summer.
A stockyard and paddocks are available for guests who wish to bring their own horses, well behaved dogs are also welcome but please contact us for conditions. Dogs are charged at $20 per dog, per visit.
The century old dairy was decommissioned many years ago however still takes pride of position alongside the restored farmhouse.

Our aim is to be as environmentally friendly as possible, without compromising on comfort. We try to avoid using any chemicals or pesticides on the property.

The location of the property was close to the main town centre of Dungog , and easy access to other local natural attractions.Great location to the Common as well for Mountain Biking. The home itself was beautifully presented. Very homely, with space for everyone. A great home to spend quality family time together and escape the business of life !Ash was a great host . She was very easy to communicate with and friendly. She even happily accommodated our 18month old Dog!We loved talking with the horses each day and hearing the sounds of nature each morning.
