The Charles at Broke

The Charles at Broke is a pair of houses on Wollombi Street with the Brokenback range filling the windows. The House sleeps eleven across seven beds and The Barn sleeps nine across seven, or you can take both as The Estate for twenty. Each property has its own kitchen, laundry and wifi, so it works as a base for a group doing cellar doors rather than as a hotel.

Meals happen on a covered verandah looking over paddocks and a dam, there is an outdoor spa under a timber pergola, and a fire pit with deck chairs for the end of the day. Dogs are welcome, which suits a family or a group travelling with one. The booking page shows nightly rates in the currency you pick, so check the total in Australian dollars before you pay, and confirm check-in when you book.
