This grand, century old, two story home, wanted to be a Hotel when built in 1918. That dream didn't come true, and our lady spent the best part of her life being a home to many living her life as a hostel.
The property is now an almost fully renovated private residence with 4 bedrooms, first floor balcony and bathroom all on the top floor, then front verandah, lounge, games, office, kitchen and dining on the lower level. This lovely home has period features including pressed tin ceilings, timber floors, dado walls, picture rails, period doors/screen doors and sash windows. The home also embraces new technology such as vinyl weatherboard cladding and NBN & VAST satellite dishes.

Although gazetted as a town, Jitarning never really established, with the townsite of Kulin just over 20km away.
Jitarning townsite boasts 4 building, three are residences and the fourth is the Jitarning hall located next door to our grand lady.
This former hostel is worth viewing as she really is the 'Jewel of Jitarning'.
