A boutique farm cottage, where you can relax, unwind and live slow. It is the perfect place for a private getaway, families, or a road trip destination with friends. 

Originally built in 1884 for the Sinclair family, It was purchased by our family after WW2. In the 1950’s it was renovated for Great Grandparents George and Margaret who retired here after leaving the Armidale homestead to make room for the next generation. It has been affectionately known in our family as Gran’s Cottage ever since.

Gran’s Cottage is on our working farm ‘Armidale’. We run Sheep & Cattle on 2000ha here at Gimmerburn and also a well known award winning Merino Sheep Stud.

Catering for up to four guests, the cottage has been personally restored with care. We used a mix of natural-textured fabrics and furnishings. The perfect space for a private get away, families, or a road trip with friends.
