We stayed in the Deluxe King room and had a great stay. The room is very spacious, the shower pressure was great and the bath was an awesome feature. Location was quiet and convenient. The only negative was that none of the windows in the rooms locked. I mentioned this to staff upon check out and was advised they are aware that they don’t lock and was assured there and cameras around the property. I personally don’t feel this is a satisfactory situation.

We had a friendly and welcoming check-in with a fresh and cold bottle of milk to make a much needed cup of tea. The room was spotless had everything we needed for our stay in Dubbo. The huge bath was great for soaking away the strains of a long drive. The pool, whilst not huge, was also a great addition to cool down when the temperature outside reached 40 degrees. The A/C also worked really well in the extreme heat. Overall we had a really great stay at the Shearing Shed. Thanks

We recently stayed for 1 night in the king room. It was amazing! The bed was comfy, room decor was tasteful and the bathroom was amazing. There was a massive shower with a rain shower head, big bath, amazing water pressure, what more could you ask for. Shampoo, soap etc was nice smelling as well. Could not fault!
