Coffee is close by at The Grind (400m), Village Bakehouse (550m), Bake Table & Tea (600m), and Country Coffee (650m), while Jack Duggans Irish Pub (650m) and the Dudley Hotel (850m) offer a meal or drink nearby.

Machattie Park (850m), a 19th-century Victorian park with picnic spaces and walking paths, and the Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum (850m), home to a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton in a Gothic-style building, are both an easy walk away. The Bathurst Adventure Playground (850m) and Bathurst Tennis Centre (800m, bookings required) suit families, while Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit and the National Motor Racing Museum are around a 5 minute drive.

Other Things to Note:
PARKING: This property has free street parking only — driveway parking isn't available as the gates remain locked.
ROAD NOISE: The home is on one of the main roads in and out of Bathurst, so some road noise may be present.
STEPS: There are 2-3 steps between the alfresco area and the backyard, plus a small step onto the front verandah and another at the front door.
PETS: Pets are welcome throughout the home and in the fully-fenced backyard. Please keep pets off furniture and collect any droppings before checkout.
