Selected suites have balconies, while the cottage has a garden patio and a fireplace. Cleburne has a lounge room with a fireplace and a laundry room with washing machine and dryer. There is also a private parking area, which guests can use for free. A homemade buffet-style breakfast is complimentary. The breakfast meal is served in a quaint dining room, and during summer, al fresco dining is possible on the verandah. Elwick Racecourse is four kilometres from the B&B.
