Relax and enjoy the spacious sun filled gardens that surround the beautifully restored cottages.

The Colonial officers who originally lived in the Barracks certainly did not enjoy the superb comforts you’ll find here today. Built in 1830, using local convict bricks, this charming National Trust Registered property is a restful haven for the deserving traveller.

Choose between any of the three elegantly restored units:

1. Lady Esther Cottage: two storey, self contained family accommodation, sleeps four comfortably.
2. The Retreat: bedroom, lounge, kitchenette, bathroom, sleeps two/three comfortably.
3. The Cellar: studio with kitchenette and bathroom sleeps two only.

You’ll be comfortable and warm with electric blanket, reverse cycle heat/aircon in Lady Esther and the Retreat, wall heater and fans in the Cellar.

A hearty continental breakfast basket is provided and delivered to your unit.

You are steps away from the lovely old sandstone bridge (1823) over the peaceful Coal River, the historic Richmond Gaol (1825) and the main Village Street of Richmond with superb craft shops, galleries, antique shops, restaurants, cafes and the many outstanding wineries
