Kangaroo Valley Solitude
Last week I traveled to the magnificent Kangaroo Valley to visit a B&B called Barrangary Accommodation and B&B. It’s the brainstorm of Bary, Gay and son Andrew Faulks. Kangaroo Valley is 2 hours south of Sydney on the Princes HWY, or 2 hours from Campbelltown down the Hume and into the Southern Highlands.
Barry and his business partner Glen Roulstone are award winning builders in Nowra and just happen to be my builders for my child care centre in Nowra and has a very good reputation throughout the Shoalhaven Shire for award winning constructions. They make a great team and do an excellent job. Roulstone and Faulks Builders - if you’re looking for top builders give them a call!
Barry was born in this delightful heritage home in Kangaroo Valley nestled in the lush pastures of the valley and saw the opportunity to give tourists to the Beautiful Kangaroo Valley a feel for how it really was to live in the old days. There are two reconstructed timber cottages on the 6 acre property and the main homestead, all reconstructed in 1980’s style living. Oh my God you must see them to apreciate it, its just wonderful.
The cabins have all the artifacts of the old days, the old style kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms, the old plough out the front door and buggy which used to take the family to town. All immaculately designed to make you think you are living a piece of history.
And the views from the timber verandahs take your breath away, looking over the lush paddocks into the magnificent Kangaroo Valley ranges, the belted gallaway cattle grazing, the wildlife and bird life and just a feeling of total relaxation and serenity.
Just smell the fesh mountain air and marvel over the beauty here, there is nothing like it. How clever these people are to keep this property so appealing and manacured. It’s so popular you will need to book in advance, I believe the real estate agent who looks after the property is called Lindy Ross Real Estate Kangaroo Valley. Give her a call. She’s a lovely lady who will galdly help you out with all the info you need.
And the other advantage of the location of the cottages is its close to the herritage town and pubs, clubs and the very popular Hampton Bridge, shoalhaven river and a host of restaurants and gift stores. This is where you go to relax and regroup. It’s intimate and suits couples or singles looking for that unique holiday or weekend away. Not for the kids, it’s just too relaxed and caters for you to have a break.
Oh yes and if you are into canoeing you can raft down the beautiful Kangaroo valley river and the Sholhaven River. You won’t believe the experience, it’s devine!
See you on my next adventure.
