"Kunnawarra" is derived from the aboriginal meaning for two black swans. Since purchasing the property in 1974, Black Swans have been nesting and congregating on the lagoons of the property.
An old cottage more than 100 years old was removed to make way for what is now the new homestead, which was completed in July 2000.
The homestead is furnished with many heritage pieces from ancestors. The rooms have been named to reflect our heritage. The Keenan room is named after Pat's maiden name. The Jarrott room is named after Keith's mothers maiden name, whilst the Aberdeen room is named to reflect Pat & Keith's daughters newly acquired heritage following her marriage. The guest lounge is named the McDonnell Room after Pat's grandmother, from which a lot of the furnishings originated.
Keith & Pat raise vealer calves on irrigated pasture. A small flock of sheep graze around, along with the many friendly horses. Cheeky Isa Brown hens provide free range farms eggs.
We look forward to seeing you soon, to enjoy all that Kunnawarra has to offer.
