What our guests had to say
***** 5-star rating on TripAdvisor
“Cally and Richard are generous and welcoming hosts.”
Beautiful Colonial sandstone homestead set on [almost] 100 acres, shearers’ quarters and cottage situated in the pretty Derwent Valley offers a range of accommodation to meet different needs. Cally and Richard are generous and welcoming hosts and very accommodating. I loved the vase of autumn berries and glass of fresh mint awaiting in the cottage.
“Enjoy the country life and indulge…”
Wonderful stay at Rathmore House. A true escape from a hectic city life to the superb scenic Derwent Valley countryside. Elegant furnishings within the home, luxury oozing everywhere from the choice of linen to added features designed to provide an outstanding experience. The Shearers Quarters are a wonderful reviving of the original buildings providing a memorable stay for anyone wanting a really great getaway.
