History
A single storey heritage building, Gloucester’s ‘Narraweema’ was originally developed in the early 1900s as a residence and was later redeveloped to serve the community as a hospital during the 1930s to 1950s. The hospital ceased operating when the Gloucester Soldiers Memorial Hospital opened in 1957. When Naraweema's service as a hospital came to an end, the building was converted into four residential flats.
From 1980 until 2021 this worthy old dame began her transition back to a private residence. Since 2021 the house has been undergoing its most recent period of repair & restoration which has included the creation of the guest accommodation and redevelopment of the grounds and creation of an orchard and kitchen garden in the area that was once a tennis court.

"This Airbnb stay is better than a 5 star hotel!
Absolutely loved everything about it. From the bed linen and comfortable bed, to the Leif products in the bathroom, soaking deep bath tub, underfloor heating and cheese and fruit platter on arrival. Benita is a welcoming and responsive host who has great attention to detail. Place was spotless. Highly recommend if you enjoy luxury stays."
