MURRING BARRACKS – ART GALLERY AND B’N’B
Murringo Barracks is a heritage-listed police barracks built of local bluestone in 1880. It is set on 20 acres at the edge of the quaint historic village of Murringo, 40 minutes drive from Cowra. Murringo Barracks now operates as a fine art gallery and charming bed and breakfast accommodation.
The elegant little art gallery is located in the original police charge room and court room. It exhibits original fine art by local and regional artists as well as owner Therese Crowe, who you can meet working in her adjacent studio. Exhibitions change regularly and details of current and upcoming exhibitions are available on their website. The Gallery is open Saturday and Sunday 10am – 4pm. Entry is free of charge.
The B&B accommodation is a separate building at the rear of the property. Recently renovated this country style cottage with modern facilities is fully self-contained with three bedrooms and sleeps up to six people. On arrival guests are greeted with home baked goodies and complimentary local wine. Breakfast foods are also provided.
Murringo Barracks is part of a 300 acre working farm which raises fat lambs and merino sheep for fine wool. Farmyard animals are in the paddock adjacent to the B&B for guests to see. It is perfect for families to enjoy a country experience or for couples and small groups to get away.

REVIEWS
“Therese and Mark were both very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The house was clean and tidy and beautifully presented and the freshly baked bread and goodies and the general hospitality just elevated our experience. The kids loved going out to feed the sheep and alpacas and collecting fresh eggs to have for breakfast. Thank you Therese and Mark. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful location and a home away from home.” – Janise
“Beautiful holiday away with the family. The accommodation was perfect with everything you could need. Therese and Mark were wonderful hosts and really great with the kids. We loved walking around the property with the animals (sheep, chickens and alpacas). Highly recommend this place.” – Warren
“A beautiful retreat with friends. Therese and Mark were incredibly welcoming and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was stocked nicely with staples, fresh baked scones, biscuits and bread along with breakfast ingredients! It was the perfect weekend to decompress. The beds were very comfortable and the electric blankets a welcome touch on cold nights! I would definitely recommend this stay for anyone wanting a relaxing break in a small town. Thanks so much!” – Sibohan
