In September, the backyards of country NSW are blanketed with gold canola fields. The colour is a rich yellow that brightens in sunshine and deepens as clouds go by. They make for an unusual break from the luscious green that also covers this land. This was about 20 Km before Harden driving from Canberra, but if you keep your eyes open you cannot miss the gold fields!

Top Explorer Country Hotel Reviews

Cattleman's Country Motor Inn & Serviced Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Room size with comfortable bed Check-in was a breeze "

Central Caleula Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"My issue with the room I booked was promptly resolved and I was kindly given a wonderful room in my stay. The room was outstanding and I really appreciate how even though I arrived outside reception hours, I was greeted by a staff member within 5 min and my problem was resolved with no questions asked. Thank you!! "

The Remington Orange

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the the oversize rooms and clean spacious bathrooms. The bed and linens were lovely and the staff attentive. The internet and so Netflix was all over the shop, (it kept dropping out), we will blame that on the weather. LOved that we could open the windows and the room had a ceiling fan; we didn't use the A/C at all."
