Bring your friends and spread out in the spacious Captain Samuel’s Cottage a large living room, three bedrooms, including two large double rooms. From your living room window enjoy the views towards the river and mountains. Take a short walk through our land to the river front, the setting may inspire you to catch an elusive trout, or feed the local ducks. Because of its size we don’t usually let it out to groups under 4 people unless the other cottages are already full.
Interesting History
Early in the 1800’s a wealthy merchant seaman Captain Samuel Horton decided to hang up his sextant and settle in Ross. He became well known for many achievements, one being having a magnificent Methodist college built on his land and having it named after himself, Horton College. He also purchased a stone cottage in the main street of Ross. The government had finished using it as a low-security convict barracks. This building, located on the banks of the Macquarie River later became famous as “Captain Samuel’s Cottage” where tourists stay instead of convicts. As well as being a convict barracks, the cottage has been a grindstone shop, butchery, antique shop and private home. Built Circa 1830, it represents one of the oldest buildings in Australia.
