Property Information
Long Alley Barn is a rural retreat in a valley of beautiful Australian Bushland only 2 hours from Sydney on our Lawson Park property nestled on the edge of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The Barn has been restored with all the facilities to accommodate a modern getaway while preserving the integrity of this old farm structure. Guests are invited to enjoy the beauty and serenity of this place. Spot kangaroos, crimson rosellas and just maybe a Wombat while strolling along the creek within our bushland valley. Perfect for couples.
The Barn features spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas heated by a large stone fireplace and a potbelly stove. Enjoy alfresco dining on the verandah or just find a sunny spot to capture the view with a good book! The bathhouse features a stylish bathroom with a rainfall shower and claw foot bath with views of the surrounding bushland and a separate washroom/WC. Snuggle into the ground floor bedroom where a queen bed overlooks one of the property's dams. Gaze out through the French-door balcony windows to the treetops from the comfort of the elevated king bedroom.
