Winter is the perfect time to visit the farm

What makes a winter stay at Mulberry Cottage quietly unforgettable?

An easy 2.5 hour drive from Canberra and 4.5 hours from the Sydney CBD, Mulbery Cottage at Glen Donald Estate is the perfect escape to the country this winter. 

Mornings at Glen Donald Estate often begin in a hush, the fields silvered with frost as you wander through the quiet paddocks and watch the first light spill over the hills. As the day warms, you might roam through the neighbouring towns of Grenfell and Cowra, trace the rugged curves of the Weddin Mountains, or join our farm tour to meet alpacas, goats, cows, and sheep—each one as curious as the next.

By afternoon, the fire calls you home. You sink into its warmth, letting the crackle and glow unwind the last threads of the day. Later, after a hearty meal at a local pub, the night sky becomes your final destination. Beneath the Milky Way, you gather around the fire pit with a warm cuppa in hand, sharing stories, laughter, and the kind of quiet that only wide country skies can hold.

This is winter at Mulberry Cottage on Glen Donald Estate—unhurried, soulful, and stitched together with simple moments that linger long after you leave.
