Property info

Situated on one of Australia's oldest colonial working farms, The Barracks provides boutique accommodation on a unique heritage site. Four suites have been beautifully restored to provide elegant comforts in the same space where convicts and farmhands worked and toiled over 150 years ago. Each suite allows guests to enjoy the same views of sweeping hillsides and colonial buildings in air conditioned comfort. For those cool evenings, at the push of a button, a restored fireplace is available to warm the sitting room. The sitting room, kitchenette and bathroom are downstairs while upstairs are the sleeping quarters. Queen sized beds are in three of the suites with one suite providing two king sized single beds. Tea & coffee making facilities are available in each little kitchenette with a Nespresso machine, kettle, toaster and a bar fridge provided. A gourmet breakfast hamper consisting of fresh & wholesome breakfast foods sourced from our local area is complimentary and delivered to your suite each morning of your stay. If the view from the room isn't enough, enjoy a cup of tea outside on the verandah while watching the farm animals graze nearby.
