GROVEWOOD is tucked away on tranquil acreage, yet just minutes from beautiful Old Bar beach, stunning Saltwater National Park and the unique double delta Manning River.

A spacious, stylish escape with interiors crafted with care and vistas of private manicured gardens, fruit trees, happy chickens and native birdlife.

GROVEWOOD Coast and Country Escape is the perfect place to completely unwind, take a travel stop, or explore our amazing Barrington Coast!

The space
You will love the peaceful yet convenient location of Grovewood, a spacious 3 bedroom house with a veranda and large deck to enjoy all year round. Views of the garden and surrounding farmland provide a feeling of space and serenity.

Enjoy complimentary breakfast provisions on the first morning of your stay including free range eggs (seasonal) from our happy chooks, toast, local honey, and fresh coffee on the sunny verandah.

In the evening - a BBQ and drinks watching the sun set on the spacious deck, overlooking your private veggie garden and listening to the beautiful native birds.

Grovewood is equipped with everything you'll need: NBN Wi-Fi, premium kitchen appliances, huge fridge, 900mm induction cooktop, electric oven and adjoining dining with French doors opening to the large L-shaped deck with gas BBQ and outdoor dining.

The open plan living room is a haven for relaxation boasting a large Sony smart TV, DVD, books, games, and reverse cycle A/C that warms or cools the whole cottage.

The spacious Master Bedroom has French doors opening to the verandah and views, a full ensuite with large walk in shower and walk through robe.

Two further bedrooms have views of the surrounding garden, and share a large bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a full sized bath to fully unwind.

The cottage is beautifully furnished and homely, with comfy beds, quality linen, pantry and fridge necessities and bathroom products.

There is plenty of secure off-street parking for the boat or cars.

Your hosts (Linda & Richard) have backgrounds in cheffing, renovation, restoration, colour consulting and wildlife illustration. They personally take care of every aspect of the property from greeting to housekeeping.

Since opening Grovewood in 2019 they have been awarded Premier Host status for their excellence in hosting and are in the top 5% of homes as rated by guests.

Beautiful home and location

We had such a beautiful 4 night stay in this lovely home. Family of 4 adults and 2 young teens with plenty of room to move around, seat us all and full amenities. I would absolutely recommend a stay here to others. Linda was lovely and accommodating (was away herself while we stayed) and her mother Karen was friendly, helpful and lovely to my children. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for our stay!

Retreat from the everyday.

Looking for a couple of days of serenity and found it at Grovewood. Sunny, light filled , spacious and all the little bits of comfort. Fabric lounge, cosy rugs, big mugs, comfy beds and butter soft sheets. Touches that make it feel like a home away from home. Completed with a soundtrack provided by nature. Linda is a ray of sunshine who compliments the welcoming vibe.

Cosy retreat

This is an ideal place to land if you're stopping in Taree. The house is cosy and clean, and is equipped with all we needed for a comfortable stay. It's in a lovely bush setting, with birds and frogs providing a tranquil soundtrack. It's an easy drive to Old Bar and Taree. The hosts, Linda and Richard, are delightful. Five stars all round.
