Able to browse around the property/gaol and see/read the history of the gaol. This place has been set up wonderfully by the owners Melissa & James. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheri 13 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay. COMFORTABLE BEDS. Best sleep I've had in ages. Only downside was not being able to find the WiFi codes, and each of the members in the party searched the entire facility for them. Not a huge issue, however, because we stayed for only one night. ##### Cheri Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### John 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Unique property, we had a fun time. Everything clean and tidy. Well equipped kitchen, everything you need. We stayed 2 nights so we had a cell with a toilet, a bit of luxury! Heating was great very toasty. ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Holly 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Mel was wonderfully helpful, and so friendly. The gaol has been treated with respect and there is life back in what could of been a potentially depressing and sad place. My boy loved the basketball ring in the 'exercise area', we actually spent a lot of time out there shooting hoops. Such a cool place to say ive stayed in, and will stay again for sure. ##### Holly Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jenn 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The historical information was amazing and informative. Information re Heaters, Light switches etc needed to be written somewhere. No small milk forctea/coffee. No handwash in room. No washer. Bed was very comfortable. Was really like camping. ##### Jenn Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 18 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was exciting to stay on an old Gaol. The owners have done a great job with renovations whilst also keeping a lot of the old Gaol feel. Owners are very friendly and were extremely helpful in discussing local dining options. They did this after hours by phone and couldn’t have been more helpful. I was also impressed with the descriptive plaques/signs all around the gaol giving a great history lesson. My stay was very enjoyable in an interesting property providing comfortable fun accomodation. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Judith 13 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Don't expect all mod cons in your room; it is a gaol cell after all, but there is a kitchen and dining area, lounge and shower rooms along with plenty of history to get immersed in. Apparently a ghostly figure in white has been seen but not on our stay. Highly recommend it. ##### Judith Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### K J 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great experience to spend a night in the cell in the old gaol. Lots of interesting information and things to look at as you walk around. Lovely communal areas, especially the chapel. Thanks for the unique opportunity, it's great to see an old building with history, preserved and used for something new. We got there at around 4pm and were expecting there to be someone at reception. Luckily some of the other guests helped us to get in through the main gate and told us we would have an email with cell number and entry information. Once we found that we were able to gain access so all good. ##### K J Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### A dive into history Great one night stay - obviously not the comfort of a modern hotel room, but this is compensated by the amount of history that is on offer. Still has all the basic facilities you need such as outdoor area, communal showers and kitchen facilities. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey 9 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities It was an interesting stay. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sez 17 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Awesome place to stay would highly recommend.

Kitchen needs a little update, the fridge didn't work and we had to buy tea and milk. ##### Meredith Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy 6 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved our stay at the gaol, lots of history here, with such a warm feel.

The history and story behind it was so fascinating and the owners have kept the character and aura of the place to its truest form. My kids and I absolutely loved staying here and will make this place one to return to many times. ##### Kara Stayed 1 night in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A fun and interesting stay. Loved the history. Welcoming hosts ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dr Margaret 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities While this was a comfortable place to stay, because of what it was - an old gaol - it wouldn’t be for everyone. We slept in a cell which was well heated and had a comfortable bed, a toilet and hand basin. We enjoyed our stay, but don’t go there if you’re looking for luxury. ##### Dr Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### celeste 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved the resident cats ##### celeste Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a fantastic place.
