An easy three hour drive from the Sydney’s North Shore you will find the beautiful Loloma's at White Rock. White Rock is 10 minutes’ drive from Bathurst, an area that boasts wonderful places to eat, great schools, and of course that’s not mentioning the big race.

Loloma’s is a gorgeous bed and breakfast with a difference. Our lovely host Jennifer met us with a breakfast hamper on arrival.

The newest member of Living Local’s team, Ella and I escaped our normal weekend with young families to enjoy luxury accommodation on one acre of landscaped gardens which is within 10 minutes of the Bathurst town centre.

Ella took residence in the Pool View Room while I lapped up the luxury of the self-contained Garden Studio. Both rooms are beautifully decorated and arranged and would accommodate a variety of needs, from romantic getaways to business and corporate stays.  The rooms are detached from the main house which is connected by a beautiful courtyard and heated pool, which gave us privacy during our stay. We enjoyed the layout of the Garden Studio’s lounge and dining area during the days, with its large table and large linen lounges which were perfect for kicking back with a glass of red at night watching Netflix in front of the gas fire. Certainly a luxury that we rarely have.

We took a trip into the town of Bathurst and following some great recommendations from Jennifer for places to eat and shop we found just what we were sent for, leaving Bathurst with satisfied appetites and new boots!  We brunched at The HUB which was delicious and it seemed everyone in town knows it, it was bustling like the Butchers Block in Wahroonga.  For dinner we were treated to a fantastic night at Webb & Co Beverage Emporium, which felt very much like a Sydney bar.  The heritage listed building providing lots of history and culture while the live music on the mezzanine level and cocktails made by the experienced bar staff made the night very enjoyable.  The food was delicious and atmosphere great. They also have a ‘hole in the wall’ coffee service during the day which Jesse – the manager, told us sells 100kgs of Campos coffee each week!  Certainly a place to check out when you come to Bathurst.

After a fabulous night out we caught a cab back to Loloma’s with Cecil who told us he was 80 years old (obviously Bathurst is good for longevity!) The next day we had a lovely lunch at The Whole food Kitchen

It was great to get back to the pillow topped king size beds and enjoy a lovely, uninterrupted, nights sleep which I would totally recommend!
