Wilber homestead was built in the early 1920's.
This 54 square home has an abundance of space making it perfect for
group getaways or basic family holidays. It is air-conditioned
with 4 bedrooms, 2 Queens, 1 Double, 3 singles and a sofa bed. Extra mattresses and
swags available on request. All linen and bedding is included.
Wilber is a typical homestead of this area. It
has open fires, a big kitchen, laundry, TV room, lounge. dining room and
fabulous verandahs. It is the perfect place for the whole family to meet for a catch-up
and some time out. Great place for a get together or just to "retreat". For a bit of a hoot you might like to throw on a drizabone or
some of the funny old ball gowns hanging around the dining room...even just for
a photo shoot!!
The tennis court is a far cry from Wimbledon,
but good for a "hit and giggle" Scarey tennis racquets are supplied.
(BYO balls....) You
will find a couple of yabby nets, pushbikes and a wild set of golf sticks
in the old stables. The barbie will help you with those long winter lunches , or a fun-filled summer evening with friends.
There are two grocery stores, clubs and a bottleshop in
town only 6kms from the house.
two
eight two eight offer monthly movies or cafe style lunches.
I loved this email from Nikki who visited in Jan
2010:
Our visit to Wilber made
a big impact on us. I sat in a mall in Chatswood the day after we got
home, looked around at all the shoppers mindlessly paying homage to the god of
materialism with no real purpose in their step. Seemed so different to farming
life which although can be hard work, holds more purpose. Is real.
Back to Wilber. The
hosts, I'd say would have to top the list. Very welcoming and inclusive. Ready
and willing to allow guests to watch or partake in farming activities... and
to answer countless questions about sheep, chooks, crops, quad bikes and
cooking lamb the country way. Wilber's eastern horizon is a selling point....
the curvaceous silhouette of the Warrumbungles is silencing. As is the
clear night sky with its trillions of twinkling stars. The farm house holds
all the charm one would expect of an Aussie farm house.
Old and slightly rambling. A
bit ramshackled. Decorated with intriguing farm trinkets and adorned with
gorgeous pre-loved frocks waiting to be worn to dinner in the dining room. The
house offers up sunny corners on the verandah, perfect for the morning cuppa.
And cozy fire places, perfect for toasting marshmallows. Wilber's a relaxed,
easy going old gentleman. He's been around a while, seen a lot and knows a few
great yarns. If only he could talk.
