Looking to the Past
Olden day photos show early family life in Bundanoon. Women of the day were actively engaged in functional utilitarian art. Any spare time was spent embroidering doilies, beaded jug covers and decorating coat hangers. Hand stitched patchwork quilts were lovingly and carefully made.
Quiet Country Retreat
The cottages are all lovely & quiet. Morvern doesn’t have train, or plane noise. Sometimes there may be noise with farm activities - a working farm is a busy place! There is a lovely sense of privacy at the property. Closeby if you need assistance, we leave you alone during your stay.
