Beautiful place to stay, very scenic and comfortable, owners house is 10 metres from where your staying, which wasnt in the description, but it didnt bother us. Everything you need is there. Phone reception is very poor as is wifi, which made it difficult to look up things to do for the day, but that aside, its was a very comfortable and beautiful place to stay.

Lovely place for short break

We had a lovely stay here - very clean, beds were super comfy (best two nights sleep we’ve had in ages), kids had fun roasting marshmallows in the fire pit and watching the sunset from the bath! Beautiful views and handy to Bathurst (15 mins) for provisions, or the O Connell Hotel for dinner (5 mins). Thanks, we had a great weekend!
