This is very much a 'destination' property; the house itself is your reason for going. Built at the turn of last century, the house has been restored to very good, original, condition and yet has modern amenities. The huge rooms are comfortable, clean and well-equipped, and the arrangements for breakfast are more than adequate. It feels a little strange staying in a property that is part museum, and open to the public for five hours during the day, but the rooms remain private at those times. The staff were quiet, polite and efficient. Be aware that there is a mine operating 24/7 that begins literally at the front fence of the property; it does not, however, intrude unduly on the peace and quiet. As an additional bonus, there is a mining museum onsite and an entire ghost town to explore a short walk from the house. We enjoyed it very much, and it was a sensible waypoint en route to the must -see Gormley exhibit at Lake Ballard.
