Wilber Cottage is a former workmans residence and has been added to by various families over the years. This 3 bedroom cottage is great for a basic family holiday in the bush. It is air-conditioned with 2 double bedrooms and 1 room with 2 singles (sleeping 6). All linen and bedding is included and extra mattresses available on request. The slow combustion wood-fire will keep you cosy in winter and all firewood is supplied. If you need extra beds, mattresses/tents or the party shed are options. (but keep in mind, there is only 1 bathroom).

The Family Cottage is a place where families can hang out and relax...nothing is precious and we encourage you to let your kids enjoy the space. While we can't promise that we will be hand feeding, there is ample opportunity to go out in the paddock and chase sheep at your leisure...(certainly makes the kids sleep well !) The kids can also collect the fresh eggs, explore the dry creek, try their luck at catching yabbies, and ride bikes until their little legs turn to jelly.

You will find a couple of yabby nets, pushbikes and a wild set of golf sticks in the old stables. The small barbie will help you enjoy the afternoon shade while you kick back on the verandah and watch the kids playing in the trees. Larger groups might like to spread out and use the Managers House which is also self contained and about 150 paces from the cottage.

While here, take the opportunity to enjoy the Wilber walking track. It is 5.5 kms and takes you across the plain where you may be lucky enough to spot the Brolgas before you enjoy the stroll back along the creek. Guided Farm Tours are also available.

There are two grocery stores, clubs and a bottle-shop in town only 6kms from the house. The Warrumbungle National Park is only half hours drive and they offer fabulous holiday activities for the whole family. Western Plains Zoo is a great day trip, only an hour tens drive from the cottage and most guests take the opportunity to visit the zoo while they are in the area. Lightning Ridge is the Opal Capital of Australia and is also a great day trip.

two eight two eight offer monthly movies or cafe style lunches. Be sure to visit the centre while you are in town for the whole Gulargambone experience as well as fantastic coffee and scrumptious homemade fare.

The Bowling Club has a Chinese Restaurant every Friday and Saturday night and the Golfie offers meals on Friday nights. The Pub serves meals 7 days.
