Accommodation in Walcha

Enjoy a quiet escape in Walcha

Walcha has a vast array of accommodation available catering for the weary travellers, adventure seekers, wilderness explorers and families wanting to escape the stress of everyday life and spend quality time reconnecting with family members.  

We have well appointed, clean and comfortable Motels, including the Walcha Motel in the heart of Walcha, Nowendoc Country Motel in the township of Nowendoc and New England Hotel / Motel in Walcha. If you are looking for a “home away from home”, and would like a B&B experience, there is our multi-award winning Anglea House, stylishly appointed Walcha Guesthouse and the charming Valley Views Cottage all conveniently located in town. Additionally, the most recent accommodation to be offered in town is the Walcha Royal Café and B & B offering quality accommodation and gourmet Coffee & cooking.

If you would like something for the more adventurous, how about escaping to Arran Eco-farmstay or Cheyenne Wilderness Retreat, overlooking the gorge country.

We also boast rural retreats such as Bloomfield’s Crossing, consisting "Karori" Garden Cottage nestled in the "Karori" garden. The homely cottage has two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and large living area easily accommodating up to four guests, next to the main homestead, and “Hole Creek” homestead offering a true rural retreat with four bedrooms, large country kitchen, two living areas and two bathrooms accommodating up to 10 guests. Why not spend a night in a stone cabin next to a huge lake and grill up a freshly caught trout for dinner at Lochlorian Trout Fishing and Getaway. Closer to town, Brookmount Retreat provides a self contained, three bedroom, private country cottage perfect for families, small groups and motor bike enthusiasts for overnight stays or extended holidays.

Our Caravan Park is second to none, and feedback received at the Visitor Information Centre is that it is the best park in Australia. Rated with four stars, the park has new en suite cabins, drive through van areas, a great BBQ area and the tidiest amenities block around, with heated flooring and piped music to sing along to in the shower. There is a huge area to pitch a tent or to kick a soccer ball with the kids. Bring your pets as they will be welcomed at the Walcha Caravan Park.

Maybe a stay on the MacDonald River at Woolbrook Hall would suit. Ideal for those travelling with caravans or those simply seeking a hot shower and cooking facilities, with very reasonable tariffs. Access to power is also available at the Woolbrook Hall, and a hearty meal is only a short drive to the Walcha Road Pub.

If you are a budding Jackeroo or Jillaroo or are seeking backpackers style accommodation in a rural environment this can be found at the Red Hill Jackaroo / Jillaroo School at Yarrowitch or Ross' Balnagowan Backpacker farm stay.

The pubs in town have been recently renovated, and offer great food, beverages and friendly service with entertainment offered most weekends. They have en-suite rooms as well as the authentic Aussie shared bathroom arrangement. There is the Apsley Arms, the Commercial and the New England Hotel Motel. The pubs in Walcha all have lock up facilities for motorbikes.

A great meal and beverages can be also experienced at the Walcha Road Hotel. This historic Australian Icon was recently rebuilt as the original old pub was burnt in a fire and the owners were pulling beers from a train carriage. The old carriage, although not in use, is still there for photo opportunities.
