Located in the heart of the CBD in the charming historic township of Tenterfield, in NSW's Northern New England region, The Old Council Chambers presents a rare opportunity to secure premium accommodation in a highly sought-after destination. With an established repeat clientele, strong nightly returns, and forward bookings already in place, this is a turnkey offering with proven appeal or an extraordinary owner occupier opportunity.
Positioned in a town fast gaining recognition as one of Australia's premier cycling destinations anticipated to attract 17,000 visitors annually, the property is also within easy walking distance of Tenterfield's boutique shopping, cafés, wine bars, and renowned hotels-making it an ideal base for guests seeking both convenience and experience.
Originally built in 1884 and enhanced with a striking Art Deco façade in 1939, this beautifully restored landmark now operates as an exclusive country retreat, offering two self-contained luxury suites where history and modern comfort meet.
Chambers 1
Intimate, Romantic Studio Retreat
Chambers 1 is a beautifully appointed open-plan suite, rich in character and designed for comfort. Original timber sash windows and aged timber flooring create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the former strongroom has been transformed into a truly unique luxury bathroom.
Relax beside the cosy fireplace from your king-size bed or enjoy a barista-style coffee from the gourmet kitchen, complete with espresso machine and grinder.
With soft ambient lighting, climate controlled airconditioning, and carefully curated finishes, Chambers 1 is the perfect setting for a romantic escape or peaceful retreat.
Chambers 2
Spacious Luxury for Couples or Small Groups
Chambers 2 offers a grand and light-filled stay within the building's elegant 1939 extension. Original leadlight windows flood the main living space with natural light, where a lounge, dining area, and fully equipped gourmet kitchen create a welcoming space to relax and entertain.
A log fireplace adds warmth and charm, climate controlled airconditioning, while the private bedroom features a king-size bed and vintage timber windows. The luxurious bathroom, complete with a deep freestanding bath, provides the perfect place to unwind.
Designed for couples but accommodating up to four guests with a fold-out queen sofa, Chambers 2 is ideal for longer stays, special occasions, or a memorable getaway with friends.
The Shed
Rustic Event & Gathering Space
Located in the rear courtyard alongside a firepit, The Shed-once the town's horse and cart fire station-has been transformed into a versatile and character-filled space.
Perfect for intimate events, long-table dinners, workshops, or pre-event drinks, it features a fully restored 1940s wood-fired oven, gas cooking, refrigeration, and a potbelly stove.
Whether hosting a gathering or enhancing the guest experience, The Shed offers a unique flexible space with potential development upside that sets this property apart.
