We had a friendly and welcoming check-in with a fresh and cold bottle of milk to make a much needed cup of tea. The room was spotless had everything we needed for our stay in Dubbo. The huge bath was great for soaking away the strains of a long drive. The pool, whilst not huge, was also a great addition to cool down when the temperature outside reached 40 degrees. The A/C also worked really well in the extreme heat. Overall we had a really great stay at the Shearing Shed. Thanks

We recently stayed for 1 night in the king room. It was amazing! The bed was comfy, room decor was tasteful and the bathroom was amazing. There was a massive shower with a rain shower head, big bath, amazing water pressure, what more could you ask for. Shampoo, soap etc was nice smelling as well. Could not fault!
