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.

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!
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!
Great apportunity to immerse yourself in the hustory of Parkes. Extensive garden and spacious house. Care should be taken with uneven flooring for elderly or young. Great for large family gathering with outdoor eating and pool if weather appealing. House was clean and more then comfortable for our stay. Good communication with owner who was more than happy to provide details on how to make our stay more comfortable.
This property is huge. The grounds are stunning. The house has all you could need, including a pool.
The host - James goes above and beyond if needed.
I highly recommend this property.
There is alot of room and amazing facilities. The air conditioning is awesome too.

Had a wonderful stay.
Enjoyed the strolls in the garden and the hidden treasures with each twist and turn of the paths.
When rain threatened and fell on our first night we could still enjoy drinks and BBQ under the back deck and wide verandas.
Owner and cleaner communications and help pre-visit were fabulous.
Great to have basics like salt and pepper, garbage bags and olive oil in stock. (Missing were dishwasher tablets).
If we return for the festival in a couple of years, we will very happily book Wonga again!
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
such a gorgeous house and garden. we loved our stay, it was very comfortable and the garden was just divine. More information about the property and its history as well a how to use guide would have been helpful. Also while the house sleeps 12 it is more suitable to families than a group of friends due to the layout of the rooms and bathrooms. That said it was perfect for the five of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it. James was very happy to answer questions and was very helpful, generous and lovely to deal with.
We had a fantastic time staying at this property. Our children are 11, 7 and 7 and spent all of the time that we were there in the garden exploring with our dogs while we relaxed by the inside heater.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Wonga. Everything was clean and tidy. Our little Tibetan spaniel enjoyed roaming around the garden. There was only the 2 of us, but would be great for larger groups or 2 families.
The kids enjoyed exploring in the large garden. A charming old property only minutes fro the town center.
Could do with an electric kettle, the stovetop one was a bit slow, however we loved having a real coffee machine available to make our own lattes!!
