Our Story

St Joseph’s Guest House is situated in St Albans, NSW - a gorgeous riverfront part of the world.

A short two hour drive from Sydney or a two and a half drive down the freeway from Newcastle, we know you are going to love staying in our beautiful guesthouse.

St Joseph’s Guest House is the passion of Steve Kavanagh, your host, who saw the potential of the ruined remains of a Catholic Church built in the 1800’s. The building has been painstakingly restored and turned into a stunning guest house. The building comprises four king bedrooms complete with air conditioning and ensuite bathrooms. A fifth bedroom has a separate bathroom. The bedrooms, plus the kitchen, laundry and dining areas offer all you need for a comfortable stay away from home. There is an indoor entertainment area for movies, music and dancing and a large outdoor deck for afternoon drinks and barbecue. A quiet upstairs retreat has a unique featured glass floor section to keep an eye on the festivities below. A swimming pool is also provided to help you cool down on those hot days and a gorgeous fire to keep you warm during the chilly winter months. Breathe in the fresh air, lay back under blue open skies with beautiful river and valley views, There is a rich variety of fauna and flora with peace and tranquility in abundance. You will see eagles, a variety of large and small water birds, lyre birds, wallabies, wombats, possums and goannas.

Just six minutes down the road is the Settlers Arms Inn - the oldest pub in Australia - which makes for the perfect lunch location. Settle in for the afternoon in an expansive shaded beer garden and watch the peacocks (not kidding) wander around. It’s a fantastic spot to spend time with friends or the family.
