beautiful property with exquisite history. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt safe and very comfortable. Lots of dining options within 5 minutes drive. Lots to do on the property for kids. Nice, well stocked kitchen with cereal options for breakfast. Easy check in. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Dubbo

Although a little in need of some updates, the room was spacious and comfortable.
Roadside traffic was noticeable but not too distracting.
Would stay here again.

I loved staying here, such a grand elegant house of a bygone era. Absolutely stay here if you love the Carrington in Katoomba.
I was fortunate to have the place to myself for the two nights. Easy check in, more an Airbnb than a hotel really. Convenient location to Dubbo.
I felt like a queen staying here and will very happily book again.

I stayed one night with my adult children and we have decided this would be an excellent home to host a virtual cludo game. We loved it.

It was quiet place. The rooms were not all that clean especially along the walls. It had beautiful furniture and a lot of potential. We didn’t see anyone. Still haven’t got a receipt for our stay.

This property would be great if you went with family or friends as there are shared/communal facilities. We brought our toddler and dog along. The outside facilities are run down and the grass is long and not safe for the dog to explore. Not to mention to 3 pointed jacks everywhere too.

Love the old world charm. Rooms were big and well furnished, and while things were neat and linen was clean, the actual place could use a good scrub and airing as there was lots of dust and dampness. The free continental breakfast consisted of mostly-empty cereal jars and no milk. However, it was great for our one night stay, fitting all 6 of us in the master suite with (it's only one) adjoining room. We particularly enjoyed a family pool tournament!

The place was really cold. My room was right next to a billiard room which was noisy. I found it difficult to actually find my in - the directions were not great. Common bathroom and toilet was not what I expected. I strongly doubt that I would stay there again.

Beautiful ambience. Parts need a vamp. Green bathroom needs shower screen fixed. Garden needs a tidy up. But generally joyed out stay and meeting new people.

There was no-one there to greet us when we arrived. The place looked derelict - as if no one had lived there for many years. The front verandah was partially torn up. There was a half-empty bottle of milk in the fridge which we were apparently supposed to help ourselves to for breakfast. We didn't even unpack the car before driving off.

This is beautiful old homestead with very large rooms and great furnishings; even a tennis court and an enormous billiard table. The rooms are cool in hot weather and also quiet. It's a short drive into the centre of town but I wouldn't call it walkable. It's family friendly, so there will be other guests with noisy children in common areas, but that goes with properties of this kind. Staff are not on-site, but responded immediately to an inquiry when we arrived. Highly recommended.

It did not looked’cared for’ and was not overall very clean. You helped yourself to ‘breakfast’, we declined as nothing looked fresh. Lots could be done to this property and it would be wonderful.
The shower was missing a panel so water went everywhere in he minuscule bathroom which was not an ensuite as expected.

Property & our room was unclean even though we arrived 1 hour after check in time. Staff did their best to rectify the situation but having staff quarrel in front of guests was quite unprofessional & uncomfortable. Having cleaning products and a vacuum cleaner sitting in the common areas for hours whilst guests were arriving was also quite odd. It was 35oC when we arrived in Dubbo. Property had an AC in one common area that no one knew how to turn on (staff included)? & we had just one cheap $20 Kmart pedestal fan in our room with no flyscreens on the windows. It was over priced for our one night stay. I'm sorry, but we do not recommend this place :(
