Beautiful old house furnished with lovely old things. Despite the heat we were able to relax and enjoy the comfortable accommodation. It was very pleasant sitting out on the veranda early in the morning with a coffee.

Necia,I am delighted you enjoyed your stay at Marlow House & thank you for your review .
Kind regards Sue
This is a stunning family home which after an extended lockdown period and time without seeing family, was perfect for our reunion. So many delightful living spaces and gardens to enjoy depending on the weather and time of day.
Generous hospitality in sharing this home and the beautiful furnishings. We were sad our time was cut short by COVID and would love to return. A wonderful treat to spend time in a lovely country town in rural NSW.
Really nice for friends and family to stay in a fully furnished indoor and outdoor house. Kids will love it.

The house was built in the early 1900s ,it has a great ambiance with high ceilings ,bay windows & we especially love the verandas to sit & read or enjoy an evening drink with friends & family. The change of seasons in the garden is always a delight. We are a short stroll to the historic Main Street.
