A little piece of history
A beautiful restoration of the old Porters’ Rooms at the historic Burra Railway Station made for a comfortable stay and a great base to explore the region. The weather in the mid-north was cold and wet, but the accomodation was cosy and had everything we needed.

Beautifully restored and very comfortable
My husband and I had a great 2 nights stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of staying in an old railway station in accommodation that was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We liked being on the edge of Burra and walking in to the town centre past the mines and back along Burra Creek. It was such fun sitting outside on the patio looking out at the platform and hills beyond.

Great place to stay
I enjoyed my weekend stay at this lovingly restored railway station B'n'B to explore historic Burra. The combustion heater was especially welcome as it can get quite cold in winter. Looking forward to staying there again in the future.
