Old Colony Inn, New Norfolk



New Norfolk's Best Kept Secret.....

This historic home began life in 1815 as a hop shed, which was later extended with a mud and stone lower floor and a convict brick upper floor to become a private dwelling. Over the years, the building has served as a school, gymnasium and barracks, until 1940 when William Rees, an antique dealer and artist, bought the property and developed it into The Old Colony Inn of today. Rees travelled widely and furnished the house with antiques from all over Europe, most of which remain today.



Our magnificent 7' x 9' Victorian Doll's House is something that
must be seen to be believed! The detailing is just superb.



Relax in our old English cottage garden or browse through the craft and souvenir shop. Delicious home-made food is served all day with evening meals served on the weekends.



Recently the accommodation has been refurbished and one room has been put aside for the Convict Connection Museum.
