Kubba Roonga Guesthouse

Built as a private home in 1915, Kubba Roonga became a home caring for returned soldiers at the end of World War I and started operating as a Guesthouse prior to World War II. It has been operating as a Guesthouse ever since. Kubba Roonga Guesthouse inherited its name from the larger property on which it was originally built, and other than a brief period in the 1980s when the Guesthouse was renamed ‘Blue Hills’ it has operated under that name throughout its long history.

Kubba Roonga was run by a retired English military officer after World War II, and he was responsible for planting many of the English trees that make the gardens so gorgeous today. (See the photo gallery for pictures of the gardens in every season.)

A number of well known guests have stayed at Kubba Roonga, including Sir Don Bradman and his wife Jesse, who honeymooned at the guesthouse in the 1920s, as well as John Denver and Dame Pattie Menzies.

The original Guesthouse has been altered over the years to provide modern levels of comfort to guests, but it has retained its old world ambience and original charm.

Kubba Roonga provides two guest lounge areas where you can relax by the fire, read the newspapers, enjoy the guest library, or indulge in lazy board games while enjoying afternoon tea. The lounge areas are in keeping with the period and are full of character furniture including big comfy chairs in which to relax.

There is a separate dining room with a slow combustion fire which hosts a full cooked breakfast each morning, while for dinner a sumptuous three course candlelit dinner is available on request (advance booking esential). Why not peruse some of our recent menus?

All guest bedrooms have queen beds and ensuite bathrooms. Five rooms have an ensuite spa, perfect for unwinding at the of the day! Two rooms have an additional single bed.

Room furnishings are in keeping with the Heritage status of the guesthouse, enhanced with modern touches of luxury such as bathrobes and LCD TVs (in six rooms).
