Wonga - A secluded oasis in the heart of Parkes

Wonga has been our beautiful home for the past 7 years and while we are off on an adventure we are offering it for others to enjoy.

Built in 1860, it was one of the original homes in the area. Established gardens surround the house. Covering nearly 6000m2, there is plenty of space to walk around the garden with a glass of champagne in hand. The pool area is a delight and will provide many hours of entertainment.

Hidden gem
Awesome visit - just what we needed. A charming house with great gardens to unwind and relax. Totally secluded but within walking distance to town centre and close to Showgrounds which was a great place to walk the dog! Thanks James for offering any assistance needed!

Nice old house in large garden setting
Wonga was a great base for our cycling holiday. 6 bedrooms suited us well, although several of the bedrooms require access from another bedroom.

A beautiful home and gardens
Our family had a great stay at this home for the week leading up to my wedding. A warm house with plenty of rooms and space for my family to spend the week together and beautiful gardens that I was able to get a few wedding photos in.

Great character property, full of charm. Just what we needed for a small break away away. James couldn’t have been helpful or accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Eclectic property
A gracious old family home resonating with personal touches, art, antiques and family treasures. The modern appliances including sound systems in every room made our stay entertaining and intriguing. If a quite read is your choice there is a full library for all ages and subjects Importantly beds and linen were of high quality and cleanliness of the home was without fault. The gardens were mature and filled with fresh fruit and glorious flowering plants with bees and dragonflies Our host was most accomodating for a change of stay due to floods in nearby areas. A five star experience
