Banjos accommodation Mansfield is simple, dignified and likeable – much like its namesake AB ‘Banjo’ Paterson, Australia’s most famous and much-loved bush poet who wrote our unofficial national anthem Waltzing Matilda as well as the poem The Man From Snowy River, which later became box office hit, filmed on location in the surrounding High Country.

Set on five acres and surrounded by beautiful gum trees and farmland, Banjos features 6 spacious, self-contained Studio Apartments and 4 comfortable Two-Bedroom holiday Units, a solar heated pool, tennis court, basketball hoop, BBQ facilities and peaceful garden settings – all within 2.5km of the town centre.

The accommodation is embedded with a long history dating back to the 1870’s where Rabbit Hunters, Shearers, Cooks and workers would live and stay at this working farm that was originally thousands of acres.

The cottages have been restored, there is a common kitchen, male and female bathroom amenities and a fantastic camp fire area.

The rooms are clean, simple and rustic and at $45 per night including breakfast it is the most affordable accommodation along the trail.

The Quarters sleep 13 in total but there is always heaps of room for tents or camper vans as well.

The Shearer’s Quarters are located right opposite the trail on the right hand side, exactly 10kms north of Merton.

If you are looking for an Authentic Australian experience with an historical Aussie feel or traveling with a group, we highly recommend this unique and charming place.

The Accommodation is pet friendly and is ideal for horse riders and bike riders

Located in Yarck the ‘The Giddy Goat Café’  has had MANY BAD REVIEWS from Bike riders, the owner is often rude to bike riders and it is recommended that you have your lunch at the Yarck General Store. We have also had many complaints about the hygiene of their accommodation. And the owner refuses to take Rail Trail Bike Tour bookings.
