Formerly the Colebrook Courthouse and Police Station.
Welcome to The Old Courthouse, where the past comes to life amidst the grandeur of a bygone era. Nestled in a quaint historic district, this meticulously preserved landmark invites you to step back in time and experience the rich tapestry of history woven into its very walls.
As you cross the threshold of The Old Courthouse, you embark on a journey through time, where justice was once meted out, and immerse yourself in the stories of trials and tribulations that echo through the ages.
Enter the restored courtroom and feel the weight of history as you stand in the same space where pivotal decisions were made. Admire the original features and the imposing Magistrate’s bench, and imagine the drama and tension that unfolded during trials of yesteryear.
Delve deeper into the past with a visit to the on-site museum and solitary cells. Discover artefacts and exhibits that offer a glimpse into the lives of those who passed through these halls, and gain insight into the harsh realities of incarceration in days gone by.
For a truly immersive experience, don period costumes and capture a memorable selfie as you step into the shoes of a convict for a day. Share your experience with friends and family as you explore the historic surroundings in authentic attire.
While steeped in history, The Old Courthouse offers all the modern comforts you need for a relaxing stay. Central heating and underfloor heating in the bathroom ensure year-round comfort, while free Wi-Fi keeps you connected to the outside world.
Unwind on the deck overlooking the beautiful gardens and duck pond, where you can soak in the tranquil ambiance and watch the world go by. Fire up the BBQ for a leisurely meal al fresco, or simply lounge in the sunshine and savour the peaceful atmosphere.
Choose from a variety of entertainment options, including an extensive movie and documentary library or classic games such as chess, monopoly, or Pétanque. Whether you're a film buff or a board game enthusiast, there's something for everyone to enjoy during your stay.
The Old Courthouse serves as the perfect base for exploring nearby attractions such as Oatlands, Richmond, Ross, Hobart, and even the stunning East Coast. Stay a little longer and use the accommodation as your launching pad for unforgettable day trips and adventures.
For outdoor enthusiasts, The Old Courthouse offers proximity to the Coal River Valley Wine Region, where you can indulge in wine tasting amidst scenic vineyards. Alternatively, tee off at the nearby Colebrook Golf Club or cast a line at Craigborne Dam for a relaxing day outdoors.
After a day of exploration, unwind and rejuvenate in the original claw foot bath, where you can soak away your cares and indulge in a moment of tranquillity amidst the historic surroundings.
