Post & Telegraph B&B

Top choice in South Coast NSW


This 19th-century post and telegraph office is now an enchanting four-room B&B with great historical character. High ceilings, marble fireplaces and the occasional claw-foot tub combine with friendly, genuine hospitality and numerous thoughtful details (including a gourmet breakfast). There's a shared verandah, decanters of port and an attractive common lounge. You couldn't ask for a lovelier spot.

The family room has one queen and one single bed.
