About this house rental
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.

Wonga was a lovely winter weekender. Beautifully decorated and well appointed. A great launch pad for our visit to the “Dish”!

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.

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!

Wonga was a great base for our cycling holiday. 6 bedrooms suited us well, although several of the bedrooms require access from another bedroom.

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!

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.

Gorgeous home
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.

Lovely old house and great yard
The kids and the dogs had a blast in the huge yard and house. Parkes is lovely and the surrounding area has plenty to occupy a few days.

Excellent property
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.

Hidden historic gem, great for large family
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!!
