Hotels near Harden

Harden-Murrumburrah are twin towns in the central west of NSW. The road through town is wide and parking is easy. The towns have some impressive early 20C civic architecture, a couple of splendid churches, and several comfortable, substantial homes. There is an annual art prize, which is exhibited in the former Court House. We did not visit it but there is a rail museum in the vicinity. The pub is great for a meal; also offers accommodation. A couple of cafes serve quite delicious light meals. There is a special honey shop. Sadly, the towns suffer from the economic downturn that afflicts many regional centres, with a lot of vacant shopfronts when we visited.

Great country charm in Murrumburrah and Harden. Murrumburrah has a great little museum which reflects the past history of the region and its connection to the light horse during WWI and Boer War. Great monument to 'Bill the Bastard' which is a 'must do' piece of Australian history to check out. Food at the Lighthorse hotel was fantastic as was the service.

I enjoyed our stay at Harden, we found everyone very friendly and helpful. I would have loved to see the museum but it was closed. We loved the kabab shop and enjoyed our breakfast the next morning in the coffee shop across from the hotel. We had a lovely Devonshire tea at the Which Craft shop on the first day. We also went for a drive to Cuttamundra and Junee and visited the car factory and the chocolate factory.
