HISTORY

The Doncaster Inn was built in the late 1830’s to accommodate the many migrants and graziers establishing themselves in the district. A large hotel of over 37 rooms, it became the centre of social life and gambling in the village until it was purchased by the Catholic Church and converted to a Convent in 1880. The Good Samaritan Order, 20 years later, demolished the old pub and built a Convent of grand proportions using the original convict made bricks and solid granite foundations of the original inn. Since 1974 the Convent has been running as a B & B and today is a fine boutique hotel.
