Where everyone else sleeps.

The Homestead takes your closest twelve. This is the list we give every couple for the other hundred and forty — sorted by how many beds, so you can stop guessing.

Start here

Bundanoon is where most of your guests will stay.

It's a thirty-five minute drive from our gate, and it's the closest village with real choice: a 1925 guest house, a refurbished pub, a five-star boutique hotel and a deep bench of houses, all within a short walk of each other.

That matters more than it sounds. Guests staying in one village means one bus route, one pick-up point, and nobody driving home in the dark on a dirt road.

Room blocks & big groups

One address, a lot of beds. These are the three to call first if you're holding rooms.

  • The Bundanoon Guest House

    BundanoonSleeps 36

    One of the last original guest houses in the village, built in 1925 and still holding on to the open fire and the wide front veranda. Fourteen en-suite rooms in the main house plus a two-bedroom cottage at the rear, with a continental breakfast included. We already partner with them for retreats, so say you're with Caoura when you book.

  • Bundanoon Hotel

    BundanoonSleeps 120

    The village pub, built in 1922 and properly refurbished, sitting on five acres two minutes' walk from the station and right on the edge of Morton National Park. Fifty-six rooms across en-suite and shared, plus a self-contained cottage. The most beds in one place, and where everyone tends to wash up on Sunday.

  • Osborn House

    BundanoonSleeps 54+

    The luxury end of the village. Twenty-two rooms and twelve forest lodges, several with outdoor baths looking into the national park, plus a spa, a lap pool and a live-fire kitchen. Where parents and the wedding party usually end up.

Whole houses

For the family contingent who'd rather one roof, one kitchen and one long breakfast.

  • Duncraig House

    BundanoonSleeps 14

    A four-bedroom house and a two-bedroom cottage on a fenced acre: open fire, outdoor spa, fire pit and a garden the kids can disappear into. Pet friendly, which is rarer than it should be.

  • Ballogie Lodge

    BundanoonSleeps 8

    Four bedrooms and two bathrooms in a quiet pocket two kilometres from the village, with a raised outlook over rooftops to the paddocks behind. A short drive on again to the Glow Worm Glen walk.

  • Injala House

    ExeterSleeps 12

  • Oak & Ember House

    BundanoonSleeps 8

Everything else

For the stragglers, the late bookers and anyone after something specific.

  • A collection of local Airbnbs

    Bundanoon, Exeter & PenroseSleeps many, locally

    Cottages, cabins and houses scattered through the villages around us. Worth a look once the guesthouse and the hotel are holding your main blocks and you're filling in the gaps.

One piece of advice

Book it earlier than feels necessary.

The Highlands is a small market with a long wedding season. October and November are busy every single weekend, and the Brigadoon Festival in early April fills Bundanoon completely.

If your date falls anywhere near those, hold a block of rooms as soon as you've locked the venue. Guests can always be added; beds can't.

We have partnered arrangements at some of these properties and can introduce you directly. Ask us when you book.

Getting everyone home

One village, one bus.

Because the last four kilometres of Caoura Road are dirt and there's no phone-a-taxi out here, coaches are how guests get in and out. Keeping the guest list concentrated in Bundanoon means a single pick-up run and a single drop-off at the end of the night.

Getting here, and getting home →
