ESTABLISHED 1910
A Century of Country Hospitality
Our Legacy
The Heart of Canowindra
Owned and operated by the Beasley family—Alison, Graeme, and Jennifer—The Old Vic Inn is more than just a destination; it's a labor of love spanning decades of award-winning family ownership.
In the heart of historic Canowindra, our inn stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Australian rural life. We invite you to experience the warmth of a home that has welcomed travelers for over a century, where every floorboard has a story and every guest is treated like kin.
"Our mission has always been to preserve the history while providing modern comforts that honor the past."
— Alison Beasley
The Architecture
Cypress, Iron & Time
The building's character is defined by its ornate iron lace work, sprawling verandas, and the distinctive scent of polished cypress floorboards.
As you wander through the grand timber staircase, you are walking through history. Built in 1910, the inn has been meticulously restored to maintain its heritage status while evolving into the boutique experience it is today. Every vintage portrait and antique fixture is a deliberate nod to the gold-rush era that defined this region.
