Embrace 1920’s charm at The Hotel Robertson
The Robertson Hotel, from its red carpet to ornate timber frames, oversized fireplaces and higher-than-high ceilings, will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a bygone era on the outskirts of the Southern Highlands.
This absolutely divine hotel was built in 1924 and while it has the charm of a Gatsby-style manor with its sprawling manicured lawns and warming salon fires, it also the modern comforts you can expect from a hotel running some 100 years after it’s original erection.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other or you and your closest girlfriends wish to indulge in something truly special - The Robertson Hotel is the perfect place to stay when in the Southern Highlands.
The details:
Walking into The Robertson Hotel is like stepping in to an Agatha Christie novel. The hotel, which was formerly Fountaindale Grand Manor and Ranelagh House, has maintained all of it’s turn of the century appeal. Overlooking the valleys, the hotel has over 40 rooms on offer, from cosy suites to a deluxe Family Wing, as well as an on site restaurant, bar and cafe.
