The Moorings Lakehouse is a 9 acre permaculture farm with a 200m lake frontage. The property's architecture merges the aesthetics of a classic Australian sheep station with a vintage sailing club. A cathedral like, open gabled roof and over sized swathes of glass reveal the awe inspiring 270 degree peninsula views. The colour pallet for the architecture was inspired by the colours of the jetty with greying timber, white weather boards and flashes of oyster encrusted sandstone. Rolling permaculture vegetable gardens and orchards lead down to the lakefront jetty. Guests are welcome to pick their evening salad from the vegetable garden and fruit from our orchards, you might even find an egg or two in the chicken house. The expanse of Wallis Lake provides a limitless horizon view out to the Pacific Ocean. Bring your own canoe, dangle a line to catch your own dinner or shuck a few oysters off the rocks. Guests with their own boats are welcome to moor up to the jetty and access the wonders of Wallis Lake. The Moorings Lakehouse is located only a 3.5 hr drive north of Sydney and 15 mins drive to several pristine National Park Beaches including: Blueys, Boomerang, Elizabeth, Cellito, Seal Rocks & Treachery. The property is surrounded by the Wallingat, Myall and Booti Booti National Parks which create a wildlife corridor throughout the Great Lakes. Guests may see eagles, pelicans, dolphins, turtles and the famous Wallis lake mullet jumping near the jetty. If you're feeling active there are several wonderful bush walks close by or an expanse of lake front to explore. Permaculture principles have been used in the design of the extensive gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens. The guiding principle being that all elements of the design work in synergy and energy inputs of water and nutrients are retained within the whole system. Of course no toxic pesticides are used on the property and we generate all of our own compost. All water is captured and retained onsite and solar panels used to generate our power.
