505a CONROD STRAIGHT MOUNT PANORAMA
Set just 3 metres from the edge of the iconic Mount Panorama racing circuit, Waldo’s on Conrod offers an unmatched accommodation experience for motorsport fans and travellers alike. This beautifully renovated six-bedroom, two-bathroom, plus extra toilet holiday home combines luxury, comfort, and front-row access to one of Australia’s most famous tracks. Guests can enjoy a private swimming pool with views, expansive outdoor entertaining areas, and 180° panoramas over the Macquarie Valley. The property features a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, fireplace, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and on-site parking. The 5-acre property includes a lush garden and a private tunnel under Conrod Straight provides access during events, while outside of race weeks, the circuit becomes a public road for a peaceful countryside stay. Located just a short walk from the Mount Panorama Lookout and close to Bathurst’s top attractions, Waldo’s on Conrod offers the ultimate blend of excitement and serenity.
We’re passionate travellers who love sharing unforgettable experiences - and Waldo’s on Conrod is one of a kind. As the only house right on Conrod Straight, it’s a special place where motorsport history, comfort, and wide-open countryside come together. There’s always a caretaker or owner on-site to welcome you, help with anything you need, and make sure your stay runs smoothly. Whether it’s recommending local spots or assisting with the property’s features, we’re here to help - without being in your way. We love seeing guests soak up everything this unique property has to offer, and we’re always happy to answer questions or assist during your stay.
Waldo’s on Conrod is set on 5 private acres at the foot of the iconic Mount Panorama circuit, right on Conrod Straight - the most famous stretch of motorsport tarmac in the country. When the track isn’t roaring with race cars, it functions as a public road, offering scenic drives and peaceful countryside vibes. The property is surrounded by rolling hills, sweeping Macquarie Valley views, and native wildlife - don’t be surprised to spot kangaroos grazing nearby, especially at dusk and dawn. It’s a true Australian escape, just minutes from the heart of Bathurst, with cafes, restaurants, local shops, and historic attractions like the Bathurst Motor Museum close by. Mount Panorama Lookout is just a 16-minute walk away, giving guests a stunning vantage point across the entire region.
