Rest at BoxGrove

Rest at BoxGrove is a luxury farm stay on a working property at 119 Duramana Road in Eglinton, about ten minutes from central Bathurst. Private self-contained studios sit with western-facing porches over the paddocks, with king beds, fire pits and outdoor tubs, and the property keeps its own rescue dogs. Guests consistently call out the welcoming staff, attention to detail, spotless studios and the sunset views west over the farm.

Dogs at the Rest at BoxGrove

Dogs are welcome in the studios, with the published policy at $25 per pet per night plus a $30 cleaning fee, and service animals exempt. A weight limit of about 30 kg and a one-pet limit are noted, though larger dogs may be considered by request, so confirm at booking. Pets must be well behaved and attended, and you bring your own bedding, bowls and food. Check-in runs 3pm to 7pm with no after-hours arrival, so plan your drive into Bathurst accordingly.

The farm setting is part of the deal: paddocks, open sky and farm animals that wander up to the fence line. Keep your dog supervised and away from stock, and you both get the country stay without the incidents.

The vibe

Pepsi: The porch and paddock views are made for lazing, but the fence line is where the farm animals are, so a settled lead keeps everyone calm.

This is the polished end of Bathurst accommodation: eco-conscious studios, quality fittings and breakfast provisions featuring local produce, on a 67 hectare property. Privacy holds up well despite a handful of studios on site, and reviews regularly mention the management's attention to detail. If you want a campfire, a outdoor tub and a dog asleep on the porch, this is the setup.

Getting there and parking

From central Bathurst, follow Eglinton Road to Duramana Road, roughly a ten minute drive. Parking is private and beside the studios, so unloading a car full of dog gear is easy. Bathurst sits about three hours west of Sydney over the Blue Mountains.

Close by with the dogs

For an off-lead run before check-in, Eglinton Dog Park is in the village on your way through. For coffee, The Church Block Cafe is nearby at Eglinton. And if you want a second country option for a return trip, A Country Barn Retreat is another Bathurst stay listed on PawScapes.
