Property

This Pet Friendly motel is a 6 room homestead style building with bullnosed verandahs. Situated on 1 acre, 300 metres off the Boorowa Road, along Chardonnay Road, nestled in the vineyards, but high enough to have views to the surrounding hills. Pebbled driveway, grassy areas and trees. Well signposted. Relax on either the front or back verandahs, with a glass of wine or a cuppa and maybe a friend or 2 (or more). The pool is popular in summer (and the in-slab heating is cosy in winter!) There are 2 guest BBQs. All rooms have electric blankets, extra small heaters, ceiling fans, air conditioners or evaporative coolers, front and back doors and openable windows; Microwave ovens, toaster, Kettle and fridge. Just bring yourselves, we have just about everything else.
