Aurelia's Farm, 130 Gostwyck Road, Uralla (2026)

Our mission is to provide a cosy and spacious place to stay, somewhere that families can catch up or travellers passing through can just relax - while enjoying some great local food of course. We source almost all of our produce from local markets and farmers, so guests are always treated to a generous breakfast basket and some in house baking, including our own banana bread and rich toasted muesli.

I realised today, as the smell of fresh banana bread wafted through the kitchen, that I’ve been baking this for almost 20yrs. I developed the recipe many years ago while baking every fortnight for our nearest Farmer’s Market (in Armidale), and for a local grocery store that has long since closed.

I started working on the recipe when the B&B was an idea, but far from a reality. We hadn’t started building yet, but I wanted to be sure I could welcome guests with something of our own, alongside local products from many other producers too. Jam, fresh eggs and bread, juice, etc.

During the challenges of 2020, I even bought a ludicrous quantity of Coffs Coast bananas, then baked and delivered banana bread and local juice locally to keep things going as much as I could.

So this is a very genuine nod of thanks to a staple product in our business from day one. I love that something so simple has become so important, and so loved by our wonderful guests.

And for all that, it’s also made with 100% Australian ingredients too. Bananas (almost always from the Coffs coast), different flours from wonderful NSW flour mills, QLD sugar, Uralla’s own free range eggs, Australian butter and spices.

We’ve been working on our road side stall for a while now and we are just about there! Hopefully just a few more weeks and we’ll be ready to roll.

It’s been a long held dream to pull this together and we’ve got lots of things coming together that we plan to sell through this space.

Can. Not. Wait.

There is always plenty going on in and around Uralla so we've made another round of updates to our Good Guide to keep you in the loop. There are new shops to discover, we've updated some general information and fixed a typo (my apologies - I guess it happens!)

The same link and QR will still work, and I've copied it here again too : https://link.flowpaper.com/1782631590505/

We've been putting this guide together to showcase Uralla and the surrounding area for many years now. It has been our way of welcoming visitors to our community as well as to our B&B, and we have always made it freely available online at www.aureliasfarm.com.au.

We hope it draws you back to discover the region and, where ever you stay, this Guide is designed to be a useful tool to support many happy visits to our part of the world.

The usual cautionary note applies - as with any guide that lists opening hours and general information, please be aware that this can change and while we have compiled this in good faith it may be wise to double check the relevant details prior to visiting any of the places listed.

As we become aware of changes we update the guide online, so what you see is the most up to date as far as we know. Always feel free to send new information through any time to [email protected], with our thanks.

Hard to believe we welcomed our first guests in 2012.

A huge day for our family, mostly because our gorgeous girl demonstrated a flair for the dramatic and - after giving her mother one hell of a fright the week before - she decided she would arrive 4 weeks early on the same day we welcomed our first guests.

Andrew left the hospital in time to get the fresh bread and make sure they settled in, before heading back to us. I've never met those wonderful first guests, but I have always been grateful they found us and booked a stay at a pretty much unknown B&B in a small country town.

With the exception of COVID of course, and a slower restart after we were finally able to get up and running again, we have been welcoming guests ever since. 14 years and counting.

The Cottage has become a welcome space for families, with our room to roam proving handy for little legs to burn off some energy, and the reliable internet has been great for business travellers looking for a quiet, self contained space too. Above all, we love welcoming people in to a space that has been such an important part of our lives, as our first home and Jacob's first home too. Built very much with guests in mind, we hope it will always be a place people feel welcome, rested and restored.

Looking for your next break away?

Our first coffee table was a keeper. We’ve still got it, we just use it for ironing these days. Well, occasionally …

We’ve had lots of great conversations about the Cottage lately, so I thought we’d share a little of how it all came together. Built by my beautiful Dad, with Andrews’s very capable help, and to plans drawn by me. I can’t recall the program I used now but it was all on a little USB key, on a long since lost laptop.

We house sat during most of the build, at various homes while we both still worked in Armidale. As wonderful as that was though, there’s no place like home so we were pretty keen to move in as soon as we could, hence the ironing board and slightly dodgy couch / doona set up. This was all pre curtains, blinds and heating so it was pretty cold!

We’d worked every weekend and night, managed a burst pipe and a whole lot more - and it was so worth it.

Andrew cut all of the pressed tin you see in the kitchen and bathroom, including cutting out all the power points, before it was powder coated and returned to us ready to install. A labour of love that has stood the test of time, adding so much character to the Cottage for our guests too.

My clearest memory of ‘dining at the ironing board’ though, is seeing the face of a wild cat / bear / lion (it was huge, we’ve never seen anything like it before or since) at the French doors on to the verandah, right opposite where we were sitting. We all paused for a moment, before it disappeared in to the night, most likely through the neighbour’s farm and on to the travelling stock route adjacent to our place.

So, on that note 😳, if you’re ready to book your next visit, we’d love to welcome you to our now very cosy Cottage 🔥. Lions not included 😉.

Head online to find out more about our B&B - www.aureliasfarm.com.au, email Tara on [email protected] or call 0434 408 163.

We are also on Airbnb and we always welcome bookings through this platform … but booking direct will always be cheaper … and leaves you with something left for dinner at the pub .

We love welcoming you to the Cottage, so we try to make this as easy as possible.

The most common way people book is by emailing [email protected] or calling 0434 408 163 (Tara). We confirm the booking with you (always by email) and then provide you with 3 payment options - funds transfer, EFTPOS or cash.

The other way to book is via Airbnb. This is the only online booking platform you’ll find us on and we don’t offer instant booking because we take more of our bookings directly (as above) and we need to double check our calendar. We understand people choose to book via Airbnb for lots of reasons and we are very happy to offer that option.

I do want to explain how a typical Airbnb booking fee structure works though, because I’ve become aware that this is really not well understood.

A recent booking for the Cottage for a 3 night stay for 2 people worked out like this -

The fee we charged - $495
The booking fee Airbnb charged us - $16.33
The booking fee Airbnb charged our guests - $76.87
Our guest ultimately paid $571.87
We received $478.67

For comparison, someone making the same booking with us directly would have paid $480. If they’d paid by EFTPOS we would hard absorbed the transaction fee.

Again I want to stress that we are very supportive of bookings either direct or through Airbnb - we love welcoming you to the Cottage. I just want everyone to understand that it will cost you more, and that this money goes to Airbnb, not to the accommodation provider.

Let’s just imagine for a moment though, what you would do with the extra $$ if it was in your pocket when you arrived. Lunch at a cafe, a take away dinner in the Cottage, a night out at our friendly pubs, or maybe some quality retail therapy. Food for thought.

While booking direct is always going to give you the best price, it also provides the best value for communities too.
