The accomodation was very quaint and just what we wanted for a getaway. It was private and quiet, yet super close (short walk) to everything you would need. Great restaurants and cafes nearby. Lovely authentic bathtub!

Theresa Australia

Such a lovely little cottage. Private, quiet, clean and well appointed. Very comfy bed. Gorgeous little garden. We will definitely be coming back.

Matthew Australia

Excellent location. Right in the centre of town on the mainstreet. Being at the back of a shop though, you don't get any street noise at all. The apartment is very quaint. Loved the bath and the comfy bed. Also loved the dog friendly courtyard.

Sharn Australia

The apartment was cosy, cleverly decorated to create a strong feeling of the past, but with modern comforts like two smart tv’s. Loved Rebecca Conduit’s artwork on the walls!! Had a very London terrace vibe with the little back garden.

Susan Australia

So convenient to the main street Very quiet and comfortable Arrived to my host putting the heater on for me

Andrea Australia

Very comfortable bed, lots of heating options and a quirky place to stay

Sarah Australia

Very convenient in centre of town, close to creek walks, great space with outdoor area to have our dog. Also loved the historical quirkiness and blend of old and new fittings and historical items and evidence of earlier use as store-keeper quarters.

The Shopkeepers Quarters is located behind Australia's oldest country outfitter that is still trading today. The space is quaint and cosy with a lovely fenced garden and backyard. There is one main bedroom with a queen size bed with a trundle bed available for a small child is needed. Wood burning fire place with a small dining area and arm chairs lead to a deck with a further lounge chair that opens to the garden. There is an old clawfoot bathtub and a separate toilet that is newly renovated, located in its own building just outside the rear door. This space is for those looking for a historic and quaint experience in Tenterfield.
Our shop staff will welcome you and show you through to your accommodation. We are always on hand to assist with any issues that you may have.
Tenterfield is a historic rural town in the Northern New England area. We experience the 4 seasons with cold winters spent by the fire, and beautiful scenic leaves in autumn and spring. Boutique shopping abounds and there are plenty of outdoor activities in our national parks, great food and wine and friendly locals.
