Bowling Club Cabins ready for first guests

30th Sep 2025

The Guyra Bowling Club’s newest venture is set to welcome its first guests this weekend, with the opening of ten cabins on site.
Club President David Wilcox said that the $1.9 million project was funded from the club’s reserves.
“We recognised there was shortage of local accommodation, and saw an opportunity to fill the gap while also supporting local events and visitors,” David said.
“The cabins also provide us with an additional income stream which will reduce reliance on poker machines.
“Construction work was carried out by local tradespeople wherever possible, ensuring the investment flowed back into the Guyra community and supported local businesses.”
Nine of the cabins feature three to four beds. Each cabin includes a king bed, reconfigurable into two singles, along with single or bunk options. There is one wheelchair-accessible cabin with the option of a king or two single beds.
Guests will enjoy reverse-cycle air conditioning, ensuite bathroom facilities, tea and coffee making amenities, and access to an onsite laundry.
Designed for short stays of one to four nights, the cabins will provide much-needed accommodation for local events, celebrations, and sporting carnivals. They will also serve as an overflow option during busy regional periods, when nearby centres such as Armidale reach capacity.
Bookings have already been strong, with several weekends in December and the Christmas period already reserved.
“People are starting to realise we’re here, and word is getting out,” David said. “Last year during our bowls carnival, visitors struggled to find somewhere to stay but this year we’re confident we can fill our greens.”
The cabins are also attracting interest ahead of upcoming golf events, with bookings already secured. Prices start from $130 per night for two people, or $145 for three. Reservations can be made online via the club’s website or directly through the club.
