Loved the country location, quiet and restful. Close to town and zoo. Our host made us feel welcome and the accomodation was clean and comfortable and the styling took us back to another era. Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and best wishes for a successful show.

Lovely to be welcomed by a lit fireplace in a cosy seperate lounge with soft music playing. Bedroom was very comfortable with an array of wine and snacks available for purchase in addition to the complimentary breakfast! Wonderful place to stay!

There are no kitchen facilities, and only a small fridge. Our host was able to freeze our ice packs overnight, which helped. The farm is located outside of Dubbo, so you do need to drive into town for supplies.

Lovely room, with access to a lounge room and outdoor verandah. We bought takeaway dinner in Dubbo, and sat on the balcony to eat it, amused by the friendly geese, chickens and cat. The breakfast was supplied in your room, with fresh ingredients. It’s a little tight for room, but again, we ate out on the balcony. A very pleasant peaceful stay.

Beautiful stay Great location, cute farm animals to greet us in morning

There is nowhere to prepare any food (very cramped space). There were croissants, etc provided - but nothing to cook them in (too big for the toaster). It was extremely hot & quite stuffy (the owners did put the air conditioner on for a while, but not at night).

It was clean & a lovely historic property.

Stayed in February 2024

Lack of somewhere to hang clothes and no separate dishwasher area.

The ambience and library, breakfast was very good.

The directions given were spot on, though at 110 km/h the driveway is non-descript (especially if arriving after dark).

A peaceful location to relax and read and/or use as a base to discover the region. As a rural location you'll be surrounded by the fauna (that calls the yard home) waking past the porch, with cattle and kangaroos hanging about in neighbouring paddocks. Bring a book or pick one from the extensive bookcase that lines the wall of your living space. The fridge is well stocked with a variety of items for your continental breakfast, extra treats are available for a fair price should you realise you deserved that snack that you forgot to bring. Though not practical in late November, the open fireplace looked like an opportunity missed. Photos on site are true to experience.

Only little niggles, and I have chatted to Susan on a couple, maybe a microwave and /or Milk warmer for coffees Also they have a table outside for putting laptop and paperwork on (and coffees/breakfast of course) it’s just that late in the day and into the night maybe, something indoors bit nearer a power point and little further from the curious insects would be good... internet seemed to drop out a bit and theres not good or any mobile data so just doing a few emails to finsh the day did take a couple goes... but if you not business orientated. you would be crazy not to take advntage of the place and get off your devices even if just for a while..hahah And last and least… couple smaller breakfast bowls that can fit in fridge, to make my Bircher... I used the mugs ... but I did say little niggles ha-ha these are just the 1%ers to perfection.... for me

Very Beautifully appointed, cozy, and different to the run of the mill hotels, motels and the like I often end up with during my business travels. Probably a little wasted on the “average” business traveller as it’s really appointed and geared towards as a "couples get away” who can make better use of the facilities, like read from the awesome floore to ceiling library wall, relax in the huge comfy sofa, go for walks and just generally soak in the environment. That said this is the exactly the sort of place I like to stay at on my country travels, it’s a circuit breaker to a long day, i love a space that takes me away from my day traveling and talking, it gives me a sense of escaping the rat race. This did it perfectly As for the breakfast .... perfect, there was a good range of choices, for me i was able to do my usual Bircher Muslie with the supplied ingrediants so i was happy, good quality yogurt, pleanty of milk (uncommon these days) it was awesome. but also there was fresh fruits, bread, crumpets, jams, honey was all there for quick healthy starts to the day and way to much for me (if i stayed a couple days there was morning teas and afternoon teas there!!!) Recommended?? Absolutely!!! on my favourites list now!! should be on yours too

Mobile reception was a bit sketchy at times (but then this is Australia where telecommunication reliability is like spinning a wheel and throwing a dart).

My stay at Yarrabar Downs was excellent. The accommodation in this beautiful historic homestead was gorgeous and well appointed. The property was lovely to stroll around and is located close enough to Dubbo (and the zoo which I was visiting) to be an easy drive but far enough out to have that rural seclusion. After trying the tasty homemade jams with the complimentary breakfast provisions I bought a jar (and a jar of homemade honey) as gifts for my friends when I left. The hosts, Susan and Geoff were helpful and very friendly but unless I made contact I was afforded total privacy.

We had accommodation in the homestead. Ensuite bathroom (with lovely high quality soap etc), bedroom and lounge filled with shelves of interesting books. There was lovely fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, home made jams etc for breakfast too. As we arrived a flock of geese waddled across the lawn, birds singing, and if you get up early enough, quite a few wallabies in the fields beyond. This was a stop over between Broken Hill and Sydney for us and we didn't want to spend a night in a motel for our last night of a seven week excursion through Sa and parts of WA. Definitely the right choice.

It was difficult carrying our luggage across the lawn from the driveway as we have 2 big bags .And maybe a little dining table would of been good as couldn't eat outside because of blow flies.

The b&b was delightful ,bed was a dream to sleep in.Susan ans Geoff a very charming hosts Breakfast was great.Enjoyed a drink on the verandah it was so relaxing.

Not a neg as such, but to note that the yard does contain free range turkey and geese...

I stayed in the home. On top of beautiful styling and good quality furniture and linen, it was all the small touches including pod machine, homemade jam, fully stocked, interesting minibar and being greeted with a lovely jazz mix playing.... The cottage on the dam looks amazing too.

No dinner plates supplied only small bowls and bread and butter plates. Not much prep surface room even for small snacks

Bush setting was excellent. Room was lovely bed was very comfortable. Overall property was well worth a visit

The only negative if you can call it that is we are used to underfloor heating in the bathroom so it was a bit fresh in the morning! LoL

Lovely log fire on arrival. Nice & cosy. Comfy bed. Nicely furnished. A whole wall of books to read. Continental Breakfast was fresh and filling Nice table & chairs on veranda for a morning coffee and sunrise We would definitely come back for a longer stay next time. Owner restores older cars as a hobby so we had a look around.

The serenity and privacy

Susan was the perfect host - easy to communicate with; there when needed but otherwise respected our privacy. The accommodation was very comfortable, and beautifully and thoughtfully put together. The property was stunning, serene and the perfect place to relax and unwind. Breakfast and toiletries provided were generous and lovely, and made us feel spoiled.

It was very cold when we stayed and it was lovely to have the fire going when we arrived.

The breakfast was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. The living area was very well presented.

A bit hard to find the entrance off main road at night.

charming, warm and cosy.

Stayed in June 2023

There was nothing not to like!

We like the fact that it was out of town and a distance from the main road. Quiet and peaceful. Staying in a portion of the 1865 Homestead gave out accommodation a character that my wife and I love! The open fire place in the library/lounge gave a warmth and coziness and a place to retreat to! Having breakfast added in was just the icing on the cake!
