Roscrea Homestead - Premier Homestead Accommodation | House in Glen William

Roscrea Homestead is set in a private and tranquil setting, on a working beef cattle property at Glen William on the banks of the picturesque Williams River.
few of us are lucky enough to call this beautiful region home – most of us are probably urban, likely rushed, stressed, harried and tired Sometimes we just need a place like this to recharge our batteries for a time. We will tell you upfront - when you’re at the property you just don’t want to leave.
sure, there are lots of things you can do during your stay; you can enjoy fishing or picnicking on the river; visiting surrounding historic towns such as dungog, paterson or morpeth; walking in the nearby world heritage listed barrington tops national park; taking a bbq lunch to chichester dam or exploring australia’s famous hunter valley wine district
however – we want to be honest and tell you that there’s something so magical about being there that you won’t even want to go to the shops for food! originally built as a getaway for rm williams chief executive group – it is now available to anyone needing to dip their toe into a place that soothes the soul
perfect for families and friends to stay for holidays or just the weekend, 5 rooms have a private bathroom, which is essential for communal stays Importantly – there is plenty to keep the kids entertained (and you in peace!).
there is a swimming pool, a cubby house, a media/playroom – and not least wide-open spaces, fresh country air and nature
if peace and solitude is what you are seeking – well, we have that in spades The energy of the place is such that you will immediately and arrestingly feel healed and nurtured.

If you are unsure, please enquire before booking.

If an earlier check-in is available, we will send you an SMS by 4pm the day before to confirm.
linen: 1 set of full bed linens and 1 bath towel per person are supplied Guests may wish to bring extra towels depending on the length of their stay. pool/lake/beach towels are byo
guest amenities: we are eco-friendly - to help reduce wastage, we supply a single bottle of 3in1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in all showers In addition, guests are advised to bring their own personal preferred bathroom products/amenities and free Wifi.
wifi is provided complimentary on behalf of the owner It is intended to be used in an appropriate manner by all guests. As the service is provided by an external 3rd party, Weekenda cannot and do not guarantee the speed or efficacy of this property's wifi connection nor do we pay any compensation for interruption of service for any reason.
pools: if the property has a swimming pool then it will be opened for swimming for the start of the nsw september school holidays and closed and winterised immediately after the nsw easter school holidays have been completed
fires and firewood: internal wood fireplaces and outdoor fire pits only operate after the nsw easter school holidays up to before the nsw september school holidays in line with nsw state fire restrictions Please note: we will normally supply enough firewood, kindling & fire-starters for between 1-2 nights of your stay. For guests wishing to have additional fires, we suggest BYO Firewood, Kindling, and Starters which can be easily purchased from the local service stations.
no party policy: all reservations operate under a strict no-party & non-excessive noise policy as prescribed in the nsw short-term letting legislation and local council laws This property is in a Residential Area. Failure to comply can put the security bond into jeopardy and may lead to police-assisted eviction and/or extra charges being levied. We hate to have to note this but the reality is that so far this year we have had to evict 3 groups for overstacking/bad/anti-social behavior.
extra guests / visitors: the number of people nominated on your booking is the maximum number of people that are allowed to be on the property at any one time, including visitors Visitors may be requested and if approved must be approved in writing with Weekenda staff. Simply put, if Mum and Dad want to come over for a BBQ then we are likely to approve. If 10 extra people want to stop by we are unlikely to approve, which could put your booking at risk. We will always try to be reasonable with reasonable people within property constraints and House Rules.
cameras and noise monitoring: there are no external security cameras at this location presently but the owner reserves the right at any time to install external cameras at their discretion Any camera install will be in line with local regulations. A noise monitoring device is installed - fines apply to guests found to have disconnected, removed or damaged the noise device. These devices are used to monitor and maintain ours and guests responsibilities under the NSW STR Code of Conduct.
guest registration / id check : weekenda requires every guest to complete and sign an electronic guest registration prior to arrival which will ask for photo id ie. a copy of your Drivers Licence or Passport. The primary booker will also be required to complete a list with the guests names and actual mobile numbers. In the event we are unable to reach the primary booker, it is very important we can get a hold of other guests. These documents will be deleted after your departure. Access Codes are only released to Registered and Verified Guests.
critical update: due to an unprecedented influx of fraudulent bookings, we are forced to impose a policy that protects our clients, industry and community against those attempting to commit fraud and theft Any booking made within 5 days of arrival is required to provide a photo of a valid credit card in the same full name of the primary guest to match the supplied identification document. Failure of these documents matching will result in the booking being cancelled and all funds processed returned to the original card assumed as stolen and thus a fraudulent transaction. We trust we have our honest and genuine customers understanding this policy is in place to protect all parties.
insurance: as always, but ever so more due to recent times, we strongly encourage any holidaymakers to obtain a very inexpensive 3rd party domestic travel insurance policy to cover you for all manners of matters which may restrict travel This is particularly helpful for things like Hunter Valley Concert cancellations, Covid or Medical and Other Emergencies for which we don't provide refunds, and anything which falls under our standard Terms & Conditions irrespective of the reason. we suggest reviewing policies with 'cover-more' or 'travel insurance direct' or 'insureandgo'
this property is managed by weekenda, a licensed real estate Weekenda staff are available 7 days a week to assist from your initial enquiry through to your departure and everything in between.
we look forward to having you stay with us.
