ABOUT
The Old Bookham Church, formerly St Columba's Catholic Church, has been lovingly renovated by descendants of the Julians, one of the families who helped build the church in the early 1900's. As well as being admired for its greenstone exterior, it is known for the magnificent stained glass window now gracing the kitchen (previously the altar). This exquisite window was a gift from Ellen Julian in memory of her husband. She commissioned and shipped it from Europe.
The Old Bookham Church accommodation offers two comfortable bedrooms sleeping two people each, plus two double sofa beds in the lounge area. With a full kitchen and laundry, it's perfect for either a stopover or as a destination. With a fenced garden this heritage accommodation is also pet-friendly.
The Old Bookham Church is conveniently located close to the Hume Highway.
For those who are sensitive to traffic noise, we provide earplugs.
We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Ngunnawal people. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this region.
