“The Bird’s Nest”
For those seeking an additional space, The Bird’s Nest is the perfect solution. This recently renovated two-bedroom, one-bathroom home is separate from the main house but just a stone’s throw away.
The master bedroom boasts a king bed and access to the bathroom through a beautiful barn door, while the second bedroom, located on the other side of the living area, features two single beds. Wooden floors add to the rustic charm.

History of the property:
The original chapel building was built in 1995 by the owner of Middleton House (the guest house across the road) with intention of hosting small wedding ceremonies. You will notice that the original vestibule is still in place even though the doorway was built in to enclose what is now the living room. Subsequent owners took the original chapel and completed the transformation into what is now the main house on the property (The Chapel). Along the way a purpose built horse stable was added and the property was used to agist several racehorses until late 2021.

Some of our favourite places to enjoy at The Witta Chapel!
The Laundry:
Originally the working (and very large) laundry was converted into a second dining or entertaining space by the current owners. Bi-fold doors from the original main house were added, as well as an arbour to create a peaceful space that opens out to a shady alfresco area.

The Stables:
One of the two working horse stables, brimming with old-world charm, has been ingeniously renovated to create a unique entertaining space for guests to relax and enjoy. It’s a delightful den for adults to unwind with a glass of fine whisky or gin. The view up to the main house in the afternoon sun is quite spectacular and has to be seen to be appreciated.

Fire Pit:
As night falls, the property comes to life with a fire pit that’s perfect for sharing stories, sipping hot chocolate, and toasting marshmallows under the starry night sky. It’s a magical experience that takes you back to simpler times.

The Creek:
Located about 30 metres past the bottom of the property is a tranquil creek.
