Beautifully converted shearer’s quarters with so many lovely touches. The communal kitchen provided a breakfast and all cooking options to be able to self cater with a roaring fire for heating. Very pleasant stay.

We are pleased to have shared our Rathmore tranquillity "far from the madding crowd" with you and hope it recharged your batteries! Warmest regards.

The accommodation makes us feel at home with the insulated house, breakfast provisions, and warm hospitality from Kelly. Even though it was a short stay, we were able to fully immerse ourselves into the area with the platypus creek, wool shed and the wildlife in the vicinity. What other guests said was indeed accurate, we wished the stay was longer and we will definitely recommend this place to our friends and family.
