AN HISTORIC PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT IN QUEENSLAND’S GOLD RUSH COUNTRY
Kernow is an exciting new development in the heart of North Queensland’s mining and cattle county. Steeped in history but close to the thriving town of Charters Towers, Kernow offers both overnight and short-stay accommodation to discerning business and leisure travelers.
Currently we have 15 fully-furnished and self-contained one & two-bedroom serviced apartments in our Porkellis Wing near to the pool area, and over at the Annex West Wing there are 10 smaller apartments and rooms which range from quirky hotel-style studio Terrace Rooms to our West Wing Apartments which are fully self-contained but smaller than the apartments at the Porkellis Wing.
Please note that currently only people aged 18 or over are able to stay at or visit Kernow. Family-friendly accommodation will be available at future phases of the development.
CAREFUL RESTORATION, CUSTOM BUILDS
Formerly a 1950s government asylum, and set on elevated ground surrounded by 200 acres of untamed land, heritage lies at the heart of everything happening at Kernow. Original buildings have been carefully restored and new-builds will be bold but sympathetic to the setting. There will be a lively mixed-use community of 400+ dwellings in this lifestyle development. The environment combines both the services of being in a dynamic country town along with the peace and tranquility of landscaped gardens and outback cattle country.

Norrelle2024-03-28Exceptional property and facilities, an hour from Townsville ☺ What a beautiful place! Lovely furnishings and facilities, everything thought of, and apartment much bigger than it looks in the photos. I had a separate office and there was an in-apartment laundry which was really handy. Welcome drinks by the pool were a nice touch! ☹ Nothing we didn't like. It was great, the only shame was we were only staying one night! Well perhaps the only dislike is the town of Charters Towers itself; this property deserves to be a better located and better quality town!Verified

We had a fully stocked house with everything you could need for an over night stay - a cosy and clean space, as well as breakfast for the next day. Looking forward to seeing the development of the beautiful property!VerifiedRichard2024-02-21Amazing and relaxing ☺ The location is so tranquil and amazing. After work it was perfect to rest and relax. Pool was so nice with the country sounds is all you can hear. Rooms are amazing. The owner is a great guy. So accomodating. Makes check in so comfortable and gives you all the privacy you need. I travel far and wide and stay at many places around Australia. And this is one of the best experiences I have had. If you are looking for a time out with relaxing comfortable vibe. This is it. The wildlife and stargazing at night is also a bonus Great little pubs in town for a feed. Or or the facilities you could as for in your rooms. Free beer wine or soft drinks on arrival by the pool. Cannot complain about any of it. And it’s only going to get better as they continue the plans they have. If I’m ever passing or at charters towers I would not look past this place to stay. ☹ Nothing. People may but I think it was top notch.VerifiedPatricia2024-01-17ExceptionalVerifiedBelinda2023-12-27A little rushed would love to spend some more time there well worth the stop ☺ Beautifully restored old building such a treat and well worth it ☹ N/AVerifiedGlen2023-12-13ExceptionalVerifiedAroha2023-12-01Exceptional
