"Mansfield"

Although Mansfield is just 100m above sea level, the contrasts of the seasons are tremendous, from a summer high average of 24.5c (maximums of +30c) down to a cool winter low average of minus 2c (minimums of below -4c can occur).
As you can imagine, with these changes the seasons of Autumn & Spring are fantastic.

The comfortable, traditional, 3 bedroom farmhouse cottage is located in the picturesque Barrington River Valley and just 150m from the Barrington River. This river is well know for it's canoeing, swimming, fishing and tubing activities, as well as a great location for bird & fauna watching - seeking the shy and elusive platypus is very popular.

Modern conveniences (sorry no dishwasher or clothes dryer), together with reverse cycle air-conditioning and slow combustion fire ensure your all season comfort.

We comfortably sleep 7 (2 x 2 Doubles - 3 x Singles).

Just bring your own food and drinks, remember all linen, towels and even soap are provided - with our fully equipped kitchen and laundry, what could be easier.
