Welcome to Wingana Homestead. There are properties you stay at, and then there are properties that stay with you. Wingana Homestead is firmly the latter.

Set on 20 private acres with views stretching out across Morton National Park, this beautifully designed two-storey homestead has been built for the kind of stay where you arrive and leave wondering why you don't do this more often. The scale of the property is something you feel the moment you pull up - green rolling paddocks, established gardens, the quiet hum of the Southern Highlands, and not a neighbour in sight, with the exception of our local wildlife and birdsong.

Inside, the home offers two distinct living spaces, each with its own personality and its own fireplace. The formal lounge is elegant and warm, with a classic open fireplace framed by a beautiful stone surround - the kind of room made for a glass of red wine and a long conversation. The sun room is something else entirely. Windows wrapping around the room, on a clear day the light that pours through those windows is extraordinary. Herringbone timber floors underfoot, a large modular sofa you'll sink into and not want to leave, and uninterrupted views of the paddocks in every direction.

The dining room connects the two living spaces beautifully and has a generous timber table for the whole group, while the fully equipped kitchen handles everything from a big family breakfast to a proper dinner party spread with ease.

Step outside and the north-facing courtyard is perfect for long lunches - a large paved entertaining area with outdoor dining and the garden rolling out beyond it into open paddocks. On still evenings, this is where you'll want to be.

Upstairs, the fourth bedroom is its own private world - ideal for older kids or anyone who wants their own space away from the main floor.

Our bedding configuration is as follows:

Master Bedroom: 1x King Bed
Second Bedroom: 1x Queen Bed
Third Bedroom: 1x Queen Bed
Fourth Bedroom (upstairs): 2x Single Beds

The home also features ducted air conditioning, a washing machine and dryer, a dedicated workspace with WiFi and a Smart TV - everything you need to switch off, or keep working if you have to.

And then there's the wildlife. Wake up to kangaroos and wombats grazing across the paddocks, and head out to meet and feed our resident Highland Cows, who are every bit as charming as they look. It never gets old.
