Shearers' Quarters Rathmore

Absolut fantastisk sted i dejlige omgivelser! Cally er enormt imødekommende, og den bedste værtinde man kunne forestille sig. Vores børn elskede at løbe omkring og hilse på alle dyrene, og så var det et absolut højdepunkt at ro en tur i søen, og for første gang se næbdyr i fri natur. Vi vil helt sikkert komme tilbage til denne perle.

Beautiful Aussie atmosphere in a very glamorous shearers Shed accommodation that was very well equipped with very modern bathroom and old world charm and self catering was a big plus.

The hostess is very kind and welcoming. She has paid such attention to each detail. It was great to feel at home on such an old sheep farm and to feed the animals. Being able to paddle with the platypuses in the rivulet was most delightful of all. A restful stay at Rathmore.

The room was actually a small cottage which we were lucky to have to ourselves. Originally a shearers cottage but tastefully refurbished.

Rathmore was everything we had hoped for a tranquil weekend escape. We stayed in the Shearer’s Quarters, separate from the main homestead and very private, with delicious meals delivered by Cally - the lamb ragu was a favourite, highly recommended. Both hosts, Richard and Cally, encouraged us to wander the historic property, which felt a little like stepping back in time to a more peaceful era. We even saw one of the dam’s resident platypus! Cally’s local suggestions enhanced our day trip to Mount Field NP and the Gordon Dam. I only wish we could have stayed longer to take better advantage of the many hidden treasures along the route. Our weekend was topped off by an impromptu tour of Rathmore House, a true beauty of a homestead and, despite the age, very much alive. Cally and Richard clearly love their home and sharing that joy with visitors.
