You will find this beautiful inn right in the heart of the picturesque town of Taralga. The Argyle Inn stands as a testament to the grace and charm of Victorian heritage combined with contemporary sophistication. Dating back to 1875, the inn has been thoughtfully restored by the dynamic duo of chef Hugh Wennerbom and architect Mary Ellen Hudson, whose shared vision brings an unrivaled country hospitality experience to guests seeking the tranquility of rural life with a touch of luxury.

With its eight elegant guest rooms that evoke a sense of nostalgia yet are equipped with modern comforts for the discerning weekender, the restoration has been a labour of love, focusing on preserving the high ornate ceilings and the beautiful double fireplace in The Well Room, the original kitchen.

Each step you take will walk you through history, as the building retains its splendid architecture while offering a contemporary edge in its décor. Settle into the communal Chesterfield lounge and indulge in a complimentary afternoon tea, complete with freshly baked homemade cookies—a timeless ritual that adds to the essence of your stay.

Experience culinary excellence as Chef Hugh Wennerbom, former chef of Sean’s Panorama, brings his expertise to The Argyle Inn’s table. Specialising in food sourced from local, sustainable farms, every meal here contributes to the cherished memories you will undoubtedly take away. Relishing meals in this fire-cracking country's public house is not just about sustenance; it’s about savouring the flavours of the region with an appreciation for its past and present.

Adjacent to the hotel, Mary Ellen Hudson curates ‘The Inn Store,’ a retail haven where luxury homewares and internationally recognised brands such as Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brendon come together. Explore the exquisite artisanal Japanese products and marvel at the curated selection that is as much a feast for the eyes as it is a lure for the discerning shopper.

While you are encouraged to wrap yourself in the comfort of The Argyle Inn, do venture out to explore Taralga and its surroundings. A must-visit is the renowned Grand Ettie bakehouse, where lunches defy expectations. 

Whether from Sydney, which is 240 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, Canberra, Bathurst, Oberon, or Goulburn, the journey to this countryside inn is a prelude to an unforgettable stay filled with Victorian elegance, gastronomic pleasure, and genuine rural warmth.

Visit The Argyle Inn and indulge in the splendour of country living where every detail is part of the narrative—a story of heritage, cuisine, and community interwoven with the comfort of modern luxury.
