Fodor's Expert Review The Convent

88 Halls Rd., Pokolbin, New South Wales, 2320, Australia

This former convent, built in 1909 and transported 605 km (375 miles) from its original home in western New South Wales, is ideal for those who love traditional guesthouses. Rooms, decorated in a "shabby chic" style with cream and brown tones, have French doors that open onto a wide veranda. All rooms have LCD televisions with movies. The house is surrounded by Pepper Tree Winery's vines and is a short walk to Circa 1876 Restaurant. The guesthouse has a variety of package deals when booked via the website. There's a minimum two-night stay on weekends.
