About this property
Nilgiri Cottage is self contained, quiet and comfortable, 10 mins from Bathurst.
The cottage is self contained. It is located within 15 kilometres of Bathurst’s Mount Panorama (Warluu) as well as all of Bathurst major sporting fields. The cottage is situated on picturesque farmland. There are two cottages available for accommodation on the property and there is also a main homestead where the host family live. Every part of the property is historic in nature dating back to the 1860’s. A reverse cycle A/C is installed in the main living room. There is also a glass fronted wood fire but unfortunately we are unable to provide wood. We recommend Bunnings or IGA in Bathurst for this however we do provide kindling and matches and the fireplace is maintained and clean. Check in between 3pm and 11pm. Check out 11am. Covered BBQ on the patio. Sheets, towels, doonas, blankets included. Share laundry, private clothesline. Wifi.
The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer. Conveniences include a washing machine and an iron/ironing board.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great for a break...
Needed a short break and Nilgiri Cottage was just the ticket.Adequate sleeping areas for winter (heated with electric blankets) or summer as verandahs are enclosed bedrooms when weather is hot. Kitchen was functional and well equipped.Place was cosy and fitted like a glove to our routine. We visited in winter so room and lounge heating covered those bases. Next time we'll bring some fire wood for heating.For astronomy, the skies were clear and views were 360 degrees. Also very quiet.We used Nilgiri as a home base for exploring and day trips.We'll be back.
