We stayed at Lucerne Up farmhouse cottage on our way down to Sydney, travelling with 3 young kids. The farmhouse is in a gorgeous location, set back on a farm, just off the highway. We were concerned the noise from the traffic would be an issue but the bedrooms are on the other side of the house and we couldn't hear any traffic noise at night at all.
The kids loved roaming around the yard and we enjoyed an afternoon sitting on the deck and taking in the scenery.
The house was spotlessly clean and nicely finished throughout. It had modern touches, without losing its country charm.
This will now be our go-to place to stay when travelling to and from Sydney with the kids.
