Kernow stands on elevated grounds within 200 acres of native land in Charters Towers, Queensland's gold rush country. This historic property is close to the thriving town and reflects a commitment to heritage through careful restoration of the original asylum. Guests experience a blend of peaceful gardens and easy access to nearby bustling town amenities.
Rooms
The hotel offers 15 self-contained one and two-bedroom serviced apartments in the Porkellis Wing, and 10 smaller, quirky Terrace Rooms located in the Annex West Wing. Each apartment features high ceilings, hardwood floors, and full kitchens for self-catering. The diverse room layouts allow guests to choose from multiple options while enjoying private outdoor spaces or direct pool access in select units.
Wellness & Recreation
Kernow provides a saltwater pool where guests can unwind and cool off in a tranquil environment. The onsite tennis court, equipped with rackets and balls, offers opportunities for leisure activities just steps from accommodations. A scenic walking track guides guests through landscaped surroundings while a lagoon, currently under construction, will enhance the outdoor experience.
Business Amenities
The hotel has recently refurbished its Annex Building into a conference center that accommodates various meeting sizes. Guests can access fully-equipped function rooms without leaving the building, providing convenience for business travelers. The blend of accommodation and meeting spaces supports a productive atmosphere suitable for corporate gatherings.
Dining Options
Kernow does not have a full-service restaurant on-site but offers light breakfast options delivered to rooms, including cereal, milk, and juice. Guests can utilize fully furnished kitchens in select apartments for meal preparation or can arrange local take-away delivery with chargebacks to nearby restaurants.
