Wonderful
Some girlfriends and I stayed for a few nights in May - was wonderful. Large beautiful bedrooms, 3 comfy lounges, large dining room table, open fireplace, plenty of parking. Felt like we were in a House and Garden magazine. Cafe opposite for morning coffee's, Mayfield Gardens just a short drive. We have come home very relaxed and feeling spoit.

O’Connell Stay
The Convent is a gorgeous, charming, spacious home that has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and enjoyment. It has everything you may need. It’s so lovely that we all really looked forward to coming back to the house at the end of each days outing! The fireplace in the living area and the fire pit outside were a special attraction for both the adults and the kids. The location is the icing on the cake. Rural yet 20mins from Bathurst and close to other places we wanted to visit such as Jenolan Caves and Mayfield Garden. The coffee shop across the road and the pub about 250m away we’re also very convenient aspects to this property. A very enjoyable and memorable getaway for all of us.
