Kings Plains Castle was constructed in 1910 by Doctor George Vivers, great nephew of William Vivers who first settled the property in 1832.
Present owners, Colleen & Don Hollingworth have endeavoured to preserve this rich piece of Australian pastoral heritage.
The castle has 12 bedrooms, all beautifully appointed and furnished in period furniture.
Private parties, small weddings and functions can be catered for in the licensed restaurant which seats 30 people.
The four and a half acres of garden features many varieties of lavender, old English trees and iceberg roses which dot the beautifully manicured lawns.
Activities during your stay include
* A guided tour
* Trace the history and study the old photographs
* Picnic in the castle's grounds
* Take a ride on a mountain bike
* Explore the National Trust listed family cemetery
* View the 1860's shingle roof woolshed
* Play tennis in a garden setting
* Enjoy a game of snooker in the original billiard room
* Kings Plains National Park is nearby with abundant wildlife, gorges and bushwalking
* Fossick within 20km in the world's once richest sapphire fields
* Visit nearby Glen Innes, the heart of Celtic country; or Inverell to the west, a thriving rural township. We are within half an hour of both towns
*Simply relax and enjoy the tranquility
Locality
Kings Plains Castle nestles in the heart of New England, between Glen Innes, the Celtic capital of Australia, and Inverell, renowned for its sapphire deposits, Copeton Dam recreational park and a thriving rural centre.
We are half an hour off the New England Highway, a comfortable 5 hours from Brisbane and the Gold Coast and 7 hours from Sydney.
The castle is off the beaten track and its drawcard is it's peaceful rural setting.
No mobile phone reception, no noisy traffic - the only thing to wake our patrons in the morning is the bird calls and the bull's roar.
Come and experience it.
