Jenkins Street Guesthouse

 

Nundle, an attractive old gold mining town in northwestern NSW, nestled at the foot of the Great Dividing Range, is a great base from which to enjoy the rugged surrounding countryside and explore the region’s history. Hiking, horse riding, mustering, trout fishing, gold fossicking, farm visits, 4-wheel driving, and browsing through galleries, antique and craft shops are just some of the things to keep visitors busy.

 

The former main street bank is now Jenkins Street Guesthouse, a large solid building with restaurant (the kitchen’s the old vault) and guest facilities downstairs and charming comfortable guest rooms upstairs. Rooms stay true to their colonial heritage with lots of dark wood, crisp linen, fresh flowers and natural light, some even have screened-in sunrooms with views out over the hills where gold created so much interest all those years ago. Bathrooms are well renovated though and water pressure’s great.

 

The downstairs restaurant offers a European menu of local produce, but why not follow the old adage of ‘when in Rome…’ and enjoy a cold beer and bar meal under the wide verandah of the nearby Peel Inn Hotel or drive up to the Arc-En-Ciel Trout Farm and buy some freshly smoked trout or smoked trout pate for a picnic.
