Travellers Rest Old Pub Farm, Crowlands is situated about 24kms north east of Ararat, Victoria, Australia. It is located in the valley of the upper Wimmera River on an elevated plain.
The native vegetation is red and yellow gum, with grey and yellow box. The major land use is grazing and cropping. Currently Travellers Rest Farm has a crop of barley growing.
The township of Crowlands was surveyed in 1849 and officially named by Governor La Trobe in 1850.
The first allotments were also sold in 1850 and Daniel Noonan was one of the buyers. In 1858, he built the Travellers Rest Hotel.
This historic building is the oldest, in what remains of the once thriving township of Crowlands.
The Building has been historically renovated to maintain the charm of bygone days of rural farm living.
This charming accommodation is set amongst rolling fields of grazing sheep with the spectacular backdrop of the craggy escarpment of Ben Nevis.
So, don’t expect a modern, minimalist interior with chrome and glass!……………think more of open fires, nodding off in comfortable armchairs and a tucking in to a hearty breakfast!
Travellers Rest offers a perfect accommodation location for visitors wanting to explore the Pyrenees Region, including the plentiful wineries.
