Easter O Event

Rachel is an amazing host, lots of information about the area and the history of the property. Accommodation was great for our group. Lack of a full kitchen was not an issue as the local pub has excellent food and service at reasonable prices.

Comfortable and welcoming

A charming historical place with all the olde world fixtures and comforts. Our host was wonderful and always available to help us with anything. Beautiful rooms and the ballroom/lounge room was so gorgeous with a lovely fireplace. Close to many historical sites in the goldfields, including the Melville Caves.

What a lovely gem among the Goldfields

We had a such a lovely relaxing time here. Situated just out of Dunolly, the grounds were great to explore. The house was grand and the beds very comfortable. It has such a pleasant vibe and the owner was truly a gem who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the best things to see in the area. We only had a weekend to explore and there's so much more to do in this place. We will be back!

Buckleys of Dunnoly

The accomodation was pretty well as advertised. Additionally, it was just a stone throwout of town. Old world charm with lots of space to move and enjoy the piece and quiet. Plenty of fascinated books and literature to read if you are so inclined. .

Overnight stop at Rachel’s

Rachel has created a lovely Victorian experience for her guests with the whole space full of antique furniture, photos and books. My bed was warm and comfy with beautiful linen.Rachel also provided cereal and fruit for breakfast, and helped me carry my bags to my room. A really unique and comfortable stopover on my bike ride. Thanks Rachel:)

Beautiful Old Style Charm

A wonderful restored historic building full of old time objects. My wife and I spent hours looking at old old books, magazines and the many historic objects that are part of the building's atmosphere. A truly beautiful place to stay.

Delightful

Delightful Georgian property and owner goes to a lot of effort to ensure you are comfortable: electric blankets , heaters for winter and good wi-fi. We had the whole top floor to ourselves with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and large loungeroom. Was great for attending the Goldfields Gothic Festival as a short drive to Maldon. Dunolly itself has a fabulous bakery and vintage shops. Recommended.

What an interesting property, if you are looking for something completely different then this is for you. How often can you say you have stayed somewhere with a ballroom? Rachel the owner is delightful, welcoming and a pleasure to deal with

A Unique Experience Not to be Missed

Our overnight stay at this historical former hotel was such a highlight. Rachel was an excellent and personable host and she went out of her way to add special touches that heightened the pleasure of our visit- for example a bowl of fresh peaches from her garden was in the fridge waiting for us. All of the facilities were very comfortable and we were able to really relax. From the décor, to the bookshelves, to the furniture, we were continually reminded of the magic of bygone eras. We will always remember fondly our stay at Buckleys of Dunolly.

Country gem with rich history

Lovely reception and tour of our accomodation by the host, Rachel on our arrival. We were offered off street secure lock up parking which was appreciated. Rooms were spacious and well appointed. Lovely linen on the beds, and air conditioning in the main bedroom. The original ballroom was our sitting area which is delightful. Would absolutely recommend and look forward to returning at a future date.
