The neighbourhoods in Bathurst are characterised by a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational areas. The city centre is the hub of activity, with a variety of shops, restaurants, and businesses catering to both locals and visitors. The architecture in the city centre reflects Bathurst's colonial heritage, with many well-preserved buildings dating back to the 19th century.
The residential areas in Bathurst are diverse, ranging from leafy suburban streets lined with period homes to newer developments with modern houses and townhouses. Many of the neighbourhoods are family-friendly, with parks, playgrounds, and schools nearby, making it an attractive place for families to live.

What a homestead!
We stayed at Old Alloway for a long weekend as part of our first-ever book club retreat—and it was a complete success. The house is absolutely stunning, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The views were nothing short of breathtaking, and the peaceful, secluded setting made it feel like a true escape. Yet, we were only 10 minutes from the heart of Bathurst, which made exploring the local area easy and enjoyable. We thoroughly loved our stay and couldn’t recommend Old Alloway more highly!

Big house for multiple families
Great big house, awesome for sharing with other families. Good location close to CBD and quiet country location.
1 bathroom had no toilet paper and their were no spare garbage bags. Also there were lots of spider webs all over the house. Otherwise great place and will definitely stay again.
