History meets modern day...

Visit one of many local museums and soak in the history that this lovely city has to offer…
The Reservoir itself is steeped in history, originally built in the 1880's. The water tank was Bathurst's only water supply. By the 1950s the town had grown so much that The Reservoir could no longer service the towns needs. In 1989 a local couple purchased the land and reservoir and so began the building of this unique home which was completed in the 90's.

Now known by the city of Bathurst as ~~ The Reservoir ~~

Photos inside will lead you down memory lane and include images of buildings that still stand today… if you look carefully you can spot them from the dining and lounge room windows!!

Guest testimonials...

Shane Blatchly reviewed The Reservoir - Bathurst Accomodation — 5 star
September 11 ·
It is evident the owners of this magnificent establishment have lovingly refurbished this property, subsequently you feel at home from the time you walk through its majestic entry. From its warm interior to its unique design and beautiful timber architecture its a must stay option. Spacious, but yet private so if you are planning on hosting a reunion with friends and family, look no further than The Reservoir.
We spent time visiting the local attractions and stood in awe of the beautiful historical architecture on show in Bathurst. Friendly people and the added attraction of Mt Panorama being in close proximity. A drive around 'the Mountain' was a feature of our stay. My only advice is book early. This is truly a unique accommodation option for your stay in Bathurst and surrounds.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. The bathroom has a jetted bathtub and a hair dryer.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and an arcade/game room.
Guests will find features like wireless internet access and onsite parking.

Truly unique house
Truly unique house that had heaps of space and a great view of the city and Mt Panorama . There were plenty of bedrooms with en suites to fit us all and we enjoyed the games room. Kitchen and lounge room also spacious and the atrium was a nice centre piece.

Location was perfect, was advertised with lock up double garage but wasn't available for us to use. Communication wasn't the greatest as they confused us with someone else. But over all, house was clean with so much room for everyone, teenagers loved the pool table, play station, air hockey. Perfect for lage groups.

The email for the check in was the wrong code, but a call to the property manager corrected that. No tea towels to be found & oven mits would have been handy, overall we all found the place to be a great location, great view around the Bathurst area.

An absolute standout
Reservoir is a beautiful and unique property. We stayed with my two children, parents and in-laws for our daughters wedding and it couldn’t have been more ideal. The house is Grand and so unique, with amazing views of beautiful Bathurst. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. We could not be happier with the accommodation or the communication with the owner Riannon. Thank you for having us and everything you did to help!! We will recommend this place to others. X

A wonderful break!
We travelled as a group of friends and The Reservoir was a wonderful place for us to unwind. Walking distance to everything we needed, and a very short drive to be in the country or doing laps on Mount Panorama. Many thanks to Rianna who made our arrival and stay effortless on our part.

Great house - really different.
We loved the concept, the architecture, the space and the views. This is a great house for a group stay. A couple of minor maintenance matters can be easily fixed. Communication about access to the house and wi-fi could be easier but Riannon was very responsive to my messages. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in the house and the area.
