The Doncaster Braidwood

The Doncaster has been many things. A grand hotel, a convent, a refuge, a private home. Now open again as a boutique hotel, with a boldly curated art collection and seven beautifully considered rooms worth staying in. It's tradition and tomorrow, stitched together. Add your story to this next chapter.

Set among established gardens in the heart of historic Braidwood, The Doncaster offers a slower, more considered way to experience the Southern Tablelands. Original details sit alongside contemporary comforts, with each space thoughtfully designed to feel relaxed, refined and distinctly of its place.

Bathed in light, our rooms enjoy views across the established gardens, Ryrie Park or the rolling Braidwood hills beyond. A queen bed and private ensuite create a welcoming retreat. Deluxe Rooms feature direct balcony access, inviting slow mornings with a coffee in hand, while select Standard Rooms feature a deep bath, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Sheridan, Bemboka and Sutram linens, LEIF amenities and thoughtful contemporary comforts ensure every stay feels considered.

Beyond The Doncaster, explore Braidwood's galleries, antique stores, local producers and surrounding countryside, or make your way to nearby Mona Farm for gardens, lake, sauna, cold plunges and seasonal experiences.

A place to pause, explore and reconnect — where heritage, art, hospitality and nature come together.
