  A Perfect Outback Getaway at Corynnia Station  - Corynnia Station is the ideal escape from city life, offering a peaceful retreat where you can truly unwind.

Bruce and Julie are incredibly welcoming hosts who make you feel... read more right at home from the moment you arrive.

The accommodation perfectly blends traditional charm with modern comforts—cozy spaces equipped with heating, cooling, and everything you need to settle in. The rooms are spacious, the beds are wonderfully comfortable, and everything is spotlessly clean.

One of the highlights for me was the delicious hampers Julie prepares. The food was exceptionally fresh and full of flavour—a real treat!

There’s plenty of fun to be had too, with a pool and tennis court to keep you entertained.

If you’re looking for a unique and relaxing getaway away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Corynnia Station is a fantastic choice.

  Go and experience Corynnia Station  - What a wonderful rural experience! Great accommodation, comfy beds, welcoming hosts, and lovely food. A stay at Corynnia Station is highly recommended and you will experience a unique location in... read more perfect comfort! Oh and did I mention the extraordinary night sky.

  A very special place  - Driving through the vast, open plains of Western NSW, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Endless, empty roads stretched for kilometers, flanked by acres of crops in every direction,... read more while the flat, expansive landscape seemed to go on forever. As a city dweller, it was the kind of Australia I had always heard about but never actually experienced—a remote, rugged beauty that felt almost surreal.

Then, as we approached Corynnia Station, I could hardly believe what we were seeing—a lush, manicured oasis in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by green lawns, rose bushes in full bloom, fruit-laden trees, and a stylish, grand country homestead, it was a striking contrast to the wild landscape we had just driven through. We had seen photos, of course, but they didn’t quite capture the magic of this place in person.

Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and shown to the Pink Palace, which was originally the station manager’s cottage. It’s been tastefully restored, with period furniture and finishes that honor its history while providing all the comforts of modern living. The cottage has the charm of a traditional farm dwelling, but with all the amenities you’d want for a comfortable stay.

The kitchen was a highlight, featuring an original “Early Kooka” stove alongside a fridge stocked with a beautiful breakfast hamper. Homemade yogurt and fresh fruit from the garden made for a perfect start to our mornings. On our first evening, we ordered a dinner hamper and cooked up the best lamb we’ve ever had on the BBQ, then relaxed by the fire as the sky lit up with stars.

The garden was equally captivating. Majestic chickens and guinea fowl roamed freely. Many of the original farm sheds and buildings remain in use, and we enjoyed seeing the farm in action, with workers popping in and out throughout the day. Despite the property’s active nature, the house and garden felt so peaceful and meticulously cared for that it was clear a masterful hand was at work behind the scenes.

That hand belongs to Julie, who, along with her husband Bruce, runs the station. Covering 17,000 acres of wheat, cotton, and sheep farming, it’s a massive undertaking, but Bruce and lovely new recruit, Dahlia, took the time to share their knowledge of the farm, the local area, and the property’s rich history. Their hospitality made our stay even more special.

We spent two wonderful nights at Corynnia Station, and we’re already planning our return—this time with family and friends to experience the other accommodations on offer.

Corynnia Station is truly a unique and special place. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

  Sheep, roos and stars  - A very interesting and special stay. Wide open countryside with birds and roos (and sheep of course)*. A walk into the heart of the 'swamp' was a highlight as... read more was the night-time camp fire. Very hospitable hosts.

*and a rare sighting of a rakali (Australian 'otter' or water-rat) in an irrigation canal.

  A comfortable oasis in the outback  - Attentive, affable and unpretentious hosts. Beautiful homestead and charming, comfortable accommodation in the vast Hay Plains.

  Family adventure in the Hay Plains  - As you round the bend into the home paddock, Julie's garden draws you in. The dogs begin their welcoming yelps, the chooks and guinea fowl invite you into the... read more oasis that is Corynnia Station. We follow the signs to Maxie's Retreat, our home for the next couple of days, past the tennis court, the swimming pool, and a number of sheds and outbuildings.

Maxie's corrugated (and extremely well insulated) iron structure, rests on a huge slab of polished concrete, boasts a deep verandah, with a fenced yard, a fire pit, BBQ, and uninterrupted views across the paddocks teaming with sheep. It is in stark contrast to the lush lawns and colourful garden of the Homestead but no less appealing or comfortable. Maxie's is stocked with all you need for a short or a long stay. Six bedrooms lead off from the living, dining and kitchen, serviced by two large bathrooms. Julie and Bruce have considered everything, comfortable beds, crisp linens, fluffy towels, aircon, and plenty of wood.

We gratefully accept Julie's offer of providing dinner kits, that we collect from our gracious hostess just as the sun is setting, the paddocks ablaze. Fresh produce from the garden, homemade bread, delicious steaks and chops, plenty of great local wines. We spend the evening playing cricket on the airstrip out the front of Maxie's. The children love watching Bruce takeoff and land multiple times a day, out checking on the ewes as they are lambing. It is also cotton harvest time, so we mount the bikes provided, ride out to inspect the state-of-the-art shearing sheds, and then on to marvel at the hundreds of acres of brilliant white cotton ready for the gin.

We swim, we play tennis, we walk, we talk, we read, we ride, we laugh, we make new friends, and we reconnect.

Thank you Julie and Bruce, we will see you again.

  An oasis on the edge of the outback  - Julie and Bruce have created something really special for visitors to Corynnia Station. We stayed in the VIP suite within the historic homestead which was a slice of heaven after... read more some days on the road camping. The bed was luxurious and the rooms, including a 1930s sitting room, were beautifully decorated and full of tasteful touches reflecting Julie's obvious artistic flair. The gardens are just stunning, full of birds, sculptures, shady trees, a very welcome pool and a flock of very cute free-ranging silky hens. We ordered a dinner hamper which was absolutely delicious and generous (barbecued Murray Cod) which we ate under the stars in the courtyard outside the 'camp kitchen', Nighttime was particularly special with incredible, panoramic starry skies and a silence so deep you could bathe in it! We will definitely return to this Corynnia one day. Thanks Julie and Bruce for your warm hospitality and a memorable stay!

  An authentic experience  - We really enjoyed Corynnia- a very authentic Australian "farm stay". Our accommodations preserved some of the original homestead rooms but upgraded for comfort. The gardens were... read more remarkable and very relaxing. The whole ambience was great. Our grey nomad hosts, Charles & Anne, were most hospitable and informative. The new ultramodern woodshed next to the old is certainly worth a visit. The only downsides were having to take the long way round from Griffith to access the all weather road rather than the shorter, dry access road from Carathool and , this time, no kangaroos or other marsupials came to visit despite the lush green grass around the Homestead. And, surprisingly, the pool was freezing despite it being 34° C on arrival. We will certainly be back
