No reception or check in so know your room number before you arrive because phone service very much depends on who your provider is. This place is probably great for groups as 'the' TV and 'the' fridge are both in the common area, off which comes the bar, the restaurant and some of the rooms. These rooms may not be ideal for light sleepers, early to bedders or 'hoping for a sleep in', as a result. The bar went off until the wee hours on the Friday night yet closed early on the Saturday night. Recommend restaurant if you want a good tasty country size meal. If it's not open, Tarago is 6 klms away where you'll find the Loaded Dog pub. The petrol station serves as a mini mart but closes 6 or 7 pm depending on day. Best to have some emergency food with you just in case, especially if arriving late. Free wifi. …
Finding information on this accommodation was not easy with no website, very few reviews and no booking agents. Information that would have been useful was not volunteered even when speaking to the hosts to make a booking. So here are some details. Location Lake Bathurst is a small village 32km south of Goulburn. 6km further south is the bigger village of Tarago. There is virtually nothing else at Lake Bathurst other than the Gilmour Inn. Tarago, on the other hand, at least has a pub (The Loaded Dog) and a petrol station. The Gilmour Inn is on Glenovel Road, 1.5km east of the main road (Braidwood Road). There are signs at the Braidwood/Glenovel intersection and at the entrance to the driveway to the inn. The inn itself is set back from the road and well hidden by trees. Booking and checkin Only phone bookings are taken. If you arrive at night, don't expect staff to be around. Even at 9pm, the place can be deserted! When we arrived, the place was in complete darkness even though we were expected and we had to stumble around trying to find the entrance to the inn, let alone the rooms! The trick is that there are two sets of rooms. What must be the newer rooms (9 to 13) are located on the outside of the building and to the right of the restaurant/bar. The remainder of the rooms are actually inside the building. To access the building, try any door leading to the restaurant - at least one will be unlocked. Once inside, try other doors until you find yourself in the lounge. The rooms face onto the lounge, with some single rooms tucked away in a corner at the back of the lounge. Keys are usually in the doors. Accommodation The rooms are basic but comfortable. Most seem to have ensuites from what we could see. The family room has four beds crammed in. The lounge area is a great idea. There is a TV, a pool table and other games, a fire place and plenty of soft seating. However, as the bedrooms face right onto the lounge, it can be noisy when there are people using the lounge late into the night (like 1.30am!). Continental breakfast is provided - help yourself to the stuff in the fridge. Cleaning up involves you taking plates to the restaurant's kitchen sink! Overall Don't expect much. It is a comfortable bed to sleep but not somewhere you would stay a long time. …
We enjoyed our night at Gilmour Inn, at Lake Bathhurst.... not too from the intersection on the Braidwood Road which those passing through might know (well signposted, and not too far in off the road either). I had the feeling of a large sheep station when I arrived, and plenty of infra-structure in the vicinity. Somewhere out there in the World-Wide Wait it suggests the Inn is on a 9000 acre working sheep station, which is definitely believably, but the area has been doing subdividing too! We didn't pickup on any activities specific to the place. We arrived in the dark after the Restaurant had closed, and really didn't have too much difficulty finding Room 1, but not before we found room 13 (I didn't see a room with number larger than that), and left early so perhaps didn't get the full experience. The restaurant and cafe are perhaps better known so maybe some folk come and eat, dine, drink and stay over. For us it was very tidy and very warm, and we came in the season (and region) which starts to become known for the chilly times (in early April). We were very comfortable with air-con, king-size bed and en-suite. Most of the rooms have en-suites I believe. Some feel for the restaurant, cafe and wedding receptions can be sought on fb pages. The owners didn't make much of the place when I rang, but perhaps more correctly it is a case of what you see is what you get... one "refreshing" surprise was the shower I had, which was an experience I probably can't guarantee you... the shower rose in our room had the craziest "directionality" I've ever seen... it was impossible not to be showered with cold water while waiting for it to warm up, but warm up it certainly did. We were awoken by a family getting self-serving their breakfast just outside our door...they were hushed, actually, and I while in theory now-a-days I'm always looking for a sleep in I actually found that quite soothing.... our needs were very simple, but the proprietors were very obliging ...…
Jeg hadde bestilt 2 rom 6 uker før vår gruppe er beregnet opphold. 10 Dager før eieren ringte og sa at min booking hadde blitt avlyst på grunn av trykket som legges på ham fra en stor gruppe som ønsket alle rommene. Jeg fant dette helt uakseptabelt men ikke kunne endre eierens tankene. Min kone og jeg hadde bodd der i februar i år, var ganske fornøyd med alt og var vi ser frem til vårt neste opphold. Jeg vil ikke gi GILMOUR Inn min bedrift igjen og vi foreslår at alle som ønsker å overnatte, betale et depositum eller på noen måte bekrefte bookingen, hvis det er mulig. Vi hadde bare en muntlig fra eieren (Jeg tilbød et depositum) som jeg så som fast en bekreftelse etter behov gitt den tidligere erfaring. Vær forsiktig.
Det vennlige personalet gjorde at vi følte oss svært velkommen og hjemme. Rom med eget bad og fasiliteter er flott - komfortabel, tunet atmosfære. Fantastisk mat på restauranten, svært generøse selvbetjent frokost tilgjengelig. Kommer garantert tilbake!!
