Old Stone House

Australian Capital Territory


Set behind a large oak tree on Bungendore's main road, this charismatic 1867 granite-block house offers four antique-furnished rooms, all with private bathroom, although one is just across the corridor. Start your day with a three-course breakfast and a wander through the garden.
