The room was huge, as it is a former dormitory. It has a full kitchen and bathroom. It is furnished with older furniture to suit the building, but is well maintained and comfortable. A great, somewhat quirky, experience.

Very unique property. Was like staying at grandma’s. Very old school, but had everything you need. Plenty of heating, very clean, a cosy bed, Foxtel and they leave you a breakfast to cook for yourself in the fridge.

Comfortable stay in Parkes

We had 1 night here. Although old-style accommodation, it was excellent, with a lot of character and charm. We were in the "Music Room", which was enormous (really a whole apartment). The bed was very comfortable. Everything we needed was there. The outdoor seating areas were good, although it was a bit too hot for us to use them much. The breakfast supplies were very generous. Located within few minutes' walk of the main street. Would definitely recommend as an alternative to a standard motel room.

Greeted by Colin, Miss Til (little terrier) and immediately felt the old world charm. Colin showed us to our very spacious, butt cosy self contained apartment and explained the history - the 'room' had been the homework/study area for female students.... " A place of learning and discipline'. Very light and airy with a quaint little verandah, comfortable kitchen - everything we needed, even bathrobes. A plentiful breakfast, we wanted for nothing....and the bed gave us a great night's sleep. Would recommend this charming piece of local history. Thank you Colin...and Miss Til!
