The Property:

The Former kingsdale hotel. Historic, breathtakingly beautiful both inside and out, and certainly one of a kind. Circa 1882, this grand old lady has seen it all. In her early days she was a popular watering hole “The Kingsdale Hotel”, but for many years now, a private residence. The homestead is set on 25 acres, with 4 bedrooms sleeping 8. What a fantastic home to hold a family gathering, or have a few couples get together, and chill out in such an iconic piece of Australian history. Australia’s first inland city, Goulburn, is an easy 5 minute drive away, and many quaint towns and villages within half hour.

Back in the early 1990’s my now husband and I drove past on the way out west and instantly fell in love. Fast forward some thirty years later and we have been lucky enough to to turn our dream into a reality.
