Accommodation in Northam

Is that getting close to school holidays? Better be quick if it is, could be hard to find somewhere!

I stayed at the Shamrock a few years ago, and it was real nice.Ask for the spa room. Also egoline Reflections looked good too

My mum lives next door to Brackston House. It is very neat and well run and according to my mum the owners are a nice couple.

It's not too far from the airport and I think a bit more intimate. It is also very popular as the Avon Valley is becoming a popular destination.

Quick way to get to it is to take the Great Eastern Hwy by pass, cross over the Avon River and take the Irshtown turn off (first exit after the Avon River). Turn left onto Irshtown Rd and follow it into town.

You will pass Morby Cottage on the left (good for a cuppa and scones) and on the right handside is a reserve belonging to the Northam Gun club - there are roos and emus etc for the kids to look at - Brackston House is on the right handside just past the reserve. You have gone too far if you hit a 'T' intersection (Taylor St).

Hope this helps.

Also my cousin has built some chalets on his hobby farm, just outside of town near the Army Camp, for tourists but they are all booked up for the next 12 months or so; however, I am trying to convince him to put in an area for campertrailers etc.

Hi Michelle,
Give Mark at the Avon Bridge Hotel a call if you dont have any luck with the others, 96221023.
He has revamped the the place but still retained the old world charm.

PS....try talking him into taking his swish 100 series of road.

Cheers...........Lionel.

Gday Michelle

Unfortunately Brackston House does not allow kids under 12 or 14. Liddelow on Avon has a good name and is in town. Egoline Reflections is on the Toodyay Road and a little out of town, but also with a good name.

Basic rooms are available at Fitzgeralds and Patrick who runs the place will certainly look after you.

Good luck, hope the day is clear for the trip. Looking forward to your report.

Cheers

Thanks everyone, you've been extremely helpful. I'll let you know what we choose, and how it all goes. Gotta be safer than a plane in Nevada!

I grew up in Northam and whilst I haven't lived there for many, many years I did stay at Liddelow on Avon in '05 and found them to be most helpful and accommodating. Quaint little place on the river but might be a bit small for 4 of you so might pay to give them a call.
Egoline could be your option if it's the farm on Toodyay Rd
