An imposing brick 1930’s function hall boasts high ceilings and magnificent polished floors. Originally used as the main school house its large verandas and open space lends itself to any large formal or casual function in any climate.

The area blends a trendy mix of Artists, like Michael Reid the well known Sydney Gallery owner who has established a wonderful Art Gallery in Murrurundi, ex-Sydney business people and of course the landed gentry and the wonderful locals who are literally open to anything.
