Rowan Brae Historic Guesthouse

It’s an excellent location, an easy 10min walk into town. Beautiful old mountains home but very comfortable and clean. Great having breakfast options too. We’d definitely come back.

Rowan Brae is an historic house with all the period features and furnishing with modern twists (USB power points, modern bathrooms etc.) We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay, and our host was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the personal touches made the stay perfect. The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens where visitors can relax or make use of the croquet provided. Breakfast is provided on a self-serve basis. There was an incredible feast available from cereals, toast and juices to eggs and ham and cheese muffins. Plenty of extras such as cakes, Danishes, fruit and a range of teas and coffees. The rooms on the front face the Great Western Highway so there is some traffic noise during busy times. However, the house is completely screened from the road by beautiful trees and hedgerows. Easy walking to restaurants and cafes and a short drive to amazing views of the Megalong and Grose Valleys. Definitely recommended for a mini break.

Beautifully appointed rooms. At first glance it appeared a longish walk to restaurants and cafes, but in fact walking on highway was well lit and almost flat. Too cold to sit outside for breakfast in August, but lovely garden area, which would be delightful in warmer months. Easy parking.
