Pet-friendly
Come and explore Australia's oldest surviving Gold Town in the former Gold Commissioner's office.
Perfect for an escape back to nature - make your own pizzas from scratch using our garden and 160-year-old bakery, dine under the stars and grape vines, get creative in our art studio, pick fresh fruit from our trees or take a walk on the famous Turon River and try your luck at gold panning.
This home has been perfectly crafted to get back to your roots in the fresh country air and enjoy nature.
Located in Australia's oldest surviving gold town, Sofala, you'll be staying in the former Gold Commissioners' office, built in 1851.
In our kitchen, you'll find a 'secret' door that used to connect directly to the bank of NSW - avoiding the bush rangers on the busy and wild streets of Sofala circa 1851.
You'll feel right at home with two spacious bedrooms downstairs, a welcoming dining, kitchen and living area equipped with a fireplace, wifi, and smart TV.
Upstairs you'll find two single beds, with an adjoining kids room that sleeps two children - all with original wallpaper and a unique hardwood roof milled locally in the 1850s. All beds have been fitted with Bambury and Mulberry Threads Manchester on brand-new mattresses and pillows.
The aim of this experience is to get in touch with your creative energy, so we've got plenty of paints and easels to capture the breathtaking local scenery, an established herb garden to make your own pizzas or bread using our bakery that was formally used to feed the majority of the town's miners.
Experience the history of Australia, step back in time and connect with nature.

Hey I'm Loz, I fell in love with Sofala after going to uni in Bathurst. The history and feeling of this town are just incredible, so I made it my mission to renovate one of the oldest buildings and most historic to bring more people to experience the magic here.
