Private. Charming. Elegant. Built in 1897 the Howlong Old Post Office is testament to a gracious era of high ceilings, wide verandas and beautiful gardens. Newly renovated its old bones have a swank modern edge. The 19th Century Old Post Office offers a serene space to rest, relax and enjoy. The south suite has a private entrance, king size bed with crisp luxury linens. Enjoy the classic rich and spacious interior, breathtaking ensuite and rejuvenate in this bright, airy and calming space. Sink into an armchair in your private suite and read a book, enjoy breakfast on your private verandah, in the gardens or a coffee under the Indian bean trees. All stays includes a gourmet breakfast. If you have any dietary restrictions please let us know. WIFI and Netflix facilities are included in the private suite.
After a busy life in the city, working and raising two beautiful boys, I fell in love with this amazing old building and decided to move back to the country, to be closer to family. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase this charming property, surrounded by magnificent gardens, for my home. However it soon became apparent, that it was much too large for one person and seemed a waste not to share it with others. I set about separating the south suite, from the rest of the original house, to provide a private and secluded space to be enjoyed by others.
Eat. Drink. Stay. Play. Nestled in the famous Rutherglen wine and golfing region, bordering the Murray River the historic Old Howlong Post Office offers the perfect couples getaway. Morris and Gehrig wineries established in 1859 are less than 6kms and are two of the oldest wineries in the area and are the gateway to another 17 wineries in nearby Rutherglen. You will be spoilt for choice, when it comes to good local food and wine. Linger at cellar door restaurants like
“The Pavilion” at Bullers, Jones Winery & Restaurant, “Tuileries” at De Bortoli, and “The Terrace” & "Bonnie" at nearby All Saints Estate in Wahgunyah, "Footsteps" at Cofields Winery, just to mention a few.
If you a looking for a more casual dining experience, there are some great cafes and country pubs in the area. Howlong is noted for its excellent golf course and club house. Two local hotels operate five nights and offer a more relaxed environment, if you are just travelling through. Albury airport is only 30 minutes away.
