Top choice in Midlands & Central Highlands
The rambling old homestead at Ratho Farm golf course has been transformed into fabulous boutique accommodation. The same family has owned this place for generations, and their convict-built outbuildings host 20 rooms, all with different configurations. The original timbers, shingles and stone have been retained wherever possible, and there's a chance of spotting platypuses in the stream. Unique!
Dinner, bed and breakfast packages are available, with meals in the main homestead.
