Beautiful Cottage
Gorgeous Cottage, full of history and beautifully restored. A little disappointed that we couldn’t light the open fire as it’s for looks only, although the heaters kept us nice and warm. Thoroughly enjoyed catching up with friends in this great location.

Idyllic country stay close to Bathurst
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the convict quarters! Beautiful location and the styling in the cottage is fantastic, all the mod cons, everything you could need. I loved the feel of the property, its comfy beds and visits from the farm fur babies, especially Joey the dog :) The location is convenient to Bathurst and cottage has great privacy. The owners Bronwyn and Jamie were lovely and there if you need anything.....I will definitely be back!

Charming heritage accommodation
My wife and I recently enjoyed a relaxed two-night stay at Clifton in Locksley, which is conveniently only a short drive from Bathurst. The apartment itself – a convict quarters dating to the late 1820s – was absolutely beautiful and sympathetically married authentic heritage charm with modern amenities. There was a plaque at the front door acknowledging the recipients of a National Trust heritage award for the care taken in conserving and restoring the historic dwelling. You can see why: the original wood and brickwork were intact and small details, like a glass panel in the living room floor that showcased a collection of convict era relics, imbued the place with real character. The upper level, with its pitched roof, floor boards and exposed beams, was a particularly fantastic space. A special shout out to Joey, the Jack Russel puppy that lived on the property. Both mornings, we woke up to see her waiting on the front doorstep for us. She was super friendly and playful and always had an adorable expression on her face. Will definitely return, perhaps with friends, as our trip was over too soon and Clifton was so homely. Would recommend to anyone needing an escape from Sydney.
