Avoca-On-Darling Hospitality

Outback NSW

Ian and Barb run a true homestay guesthouse at Avoca, an 1870s heritage homestead 26km from Wentworth on gum-laden riverbanks. Homestead rooms share bathrooms and include all meals; there's also a self-contained cook’s cottage ($160), jackaroo’s quarters ($25 per person) and simple camp sites ($25 per person). Ask Ian about his time as an AFL (Australian Rules) footballer in the 1960s.

Travel 6km north of Wentworth along the Broken Hill road, take the Lower Darling Rd, then turn off at the sign after a further 18.5km.
