Yabba Yabba, NEW SOUTH WALES
Airing Date: Feb 12th, 2002
There's one cost for the whole house, so grab a bunch of mates - it sleeps 28 - and the prices are very reasonable. There are 14 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms spread out over two floors. The rooms represent different eras from the 1880s in the Victorian Wing, to the bohemian makings of the 1920s in the Arts and Crafts Wing. If you want to try something a little more up to date then there is the 1930s Rainbow Wing.
With its gorgeous gardens and relaxing atmosphere it's no wonder there's been a list of big names who've spent their time here, but whose names we can't reveal!
There's also plenty to do around Yabba Yabba, such as seeing the sights in style with True Blue Tours in a 1954 Fleetwood Cadillac. This car has had some pretty important people in its heyday, including President Eisenhower. You get to decide what you want to do and the guide will take you there. You could go walking around Wentworth Falls or maybe do a spot of antique shopping at Bygone Beauties - home to 1,400 teapots, the second largest private teapot collection in the world!
And at the end of a long day head back to Yabba Yabba, where for a bit extra you can have an exquisite meal cooked to your perfection.
