Roscrea Homestead - Premier Homestead Accommodation
Few of us are lucky enough to call this beautiful region home – most of us are probably urban, likely rushed, stressed, harried and tired. Sometimes we just need a place like this to recharge our batteries for a time.We will tell you upfront - when you’re at the property you just don’t want to leave.
Sure there’s lots of things you can do during your stay; you can enjoy fishing or picnicking on the river; visiting surrounding historic towns such as Dungog, Paterson or Morpeth; walking in the nearby World Heritage listed Barrington Tops National Park; taking a BBQ lunch to Chichester Dam or exploring Australia’s famous Hunter Valley wine district.
However – we want to be honest and tell you that there’s something so magical about being there that you won’t even want to go to the shops for food! Originally built as a getaway for RM Williams Chief Executive Group – it is now available to anyone needing to dip their toe into a place that soothes the soul.
Perfect for families and friends to stay for holidays or just the weekend, 5 rooms have a private bathroom, which is essential for communal stays. Importantly – there is plenty to keep the kids entertained (and you in peace!).
There is a swimming pool, a cubby house, a media/playroom – and not least wide-open spaces, fresh country air and nature.
If peace and solitude is what you are seeking – well we have that in spades. The energy of the place is such that you will immediately and arrestingly feel healed, and nurtured.
Accommodation and Features:
Our beautiful homestead is everything your mind runs to when you think about a country escape. Fully renovated, the property can sleep up to 12 guests with all bedrooms opening onto the generous wrap-around verandah.
The main homestead sleeps 8, featuring 4 large bedrooms (3 queen and 1 twin) each with their own bathroom. Along the verandah there are 2 lovely extra queen bedrooms with en suites to accommodate a further 4 guests, available at an additional cost per room per night. Daily room servicing is also available at an additional cost. NB: The 5th and 6th bedroom are only available for groups of over 8 guests.
The home is luxuriously yet comfortably furnished and features;
a separate rumpus/TV room, laundry and large return verandahs with expansive rural views. Superbly equipped, the large country-style gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with all the mod cons you expect – new appliances, including huge fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee machine, dishwasher and Smeg cooktop and oven. The lounge / dining area is complete with comfortable lounge and armchairs, a large dining table and combustion fire.

Every reservation at Roscrea will be afforded a 5pm late check out free of charge (subject to availability in terms of same-day incoming bookings). That's right! As long as we are not booked for an arrival on your departure day, your group can enjoy this beautiful space up until 5pm on the day of your departure (availability can only be confirmed 1 day prior to departure). Miss the traffic heading home and really make the most of your stay.

Such a well built, well equipped, beautiful home in a picturesque area. This was our second time staying here and will definitely be back here again. Lots of room for everyone to feel comfortable. I love coming to Roscrea Estate.
- Joanne A
The kitchen was well equipped.
We six sewing ladies, thoroughly enjoyed our week at Roscrea homestead. What a magnificent place. The house was impeccable in its cleanliness. The size of the dining room was perfect for us to sew and sit on the lounge to enjoy the fire at night. Having six bedrooms with a bathroom each was great, and the beds and linen were of high quality. The kitchen was well equipped. (maybe some more wine glasses) We will be definitely booking again for our week away next year. Thank you, Audrey
- Audrey M
We had such a wonderful time there. We will be booking again. Nine family members perfect for a group get together. Everything so well presented. Very clean
- Sandra N
We loved that everyone had their own space (bedroom & bathroom), it gave a sense of privacy to each couple/family. The children have so much to do and explore and barely touched technology the whole time. We will definitely be booking again.
- Kate Z
Roscrea Homestead was a wonderful place for our family to stay for a 3 nights. There was plenty of room for everyone including fantastic outdoor areas and an amazing rumpus room where our 4 year old grandson could enjoy DVD’s. The huge country kitchen provided everything we needed for a weekend of cooking and enjoying food. The outdoor fire allowed us to enjoy evenings outside playing board games and cards. The ensuite in every bedroom ensured that everyone was comfortable and had privacy.
- Debbie
What can I say, we wanted to have a team building night away and link it to our quarterly meeting. The house catered for all, with amazing large seating areas and the beds were to die for. Definitely looking at hiring for next time we do a couple of nights away.
- Rebecca C
Beautiful property that's clearly been a home for several years and not set up as a holiday rental. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is fully equipped, the outdoor entertaining area is genius and the scenery is breathtaking. This is a wonderful place for families or groups of friends to stay together and enjoy each others company in an amazing setting.
- Craig
Roscrea is a very special place to stay....we didn't want to leave. It is a wonderful space for a family gathering and the kids room was a hit! We would definitely return.
- Tamara
Roscrea is just beautiful. A very well maintained homestead. Close attention to detail has been taken with each area resulting in a stunning property inside and out. Allowed us true quality down time from our busy work lives. It is such a gorgeous location. We absolutely loved it.
- Renee
Most rooms had an ensuite. Beds were very comfortable, facilities were great.
- Joanne
Excellent place for a family or friends get-together. House very well appointed and with generous dining and socialising areas, important as self catering is the best option. The lack of city noise, a clear sky, the unique fresh smell of country, together made it a weekend that all guests thoroughly enjoyed. Lunched at a winery just 40 mts away on the way back to Sydney.
- Ralph W
Everything about the homestead is of the highest quality and comfort. It was truly lovely to stay in a property which has retained all of the traditional aspects and yet modern conveniences to ensure a relaxing, very comfortable stay.
- Mary S
It's a great property. I will recommend it to friends for a total relaxing week-end. Beautiful House. Thank you
- Frances C
Roscrea was incredible. A beautiful place, peaceful location, spacious home. We had a fantastic time!
- Simone S
Weekenda were the managing agents for our stay, the cleanliness of the property was outstanding.
- Bill M
It was so easy to book and Weekenda were available and friendly every time we needed them. Highly recommend this booking service!
- Jan G
The heating (both ducted and fireplaces) was amazing and we enjoyed the provided games eg. croquet.

The house is the perfect size for our sewing girls week away. All having our own bedroom and bathroom is a real treat. The dining room and lounge room is large enough to sit wherever we want but still be part of the group. The kitchen is well appointed and having a separate outdoor eating area and television room is great. Thank you again for a wonderful venue for our week of friendship.
