Set out to explore outdoor adventures, culture and more with Coonabarabran accommodation
Nicknamed Coona by locals, the town of Coonabarabran is on the divide between the North West Slopes and Central West regions of New South Wales. It’s known for its heritage-listed sites, museums, nature reserves and observatories. Astronomy buffs in particular are drawn here as it is the home of the 3.9-metre Anglo-Australian Telescope at the Siding Spring Observatory, and the town is known as the astronomy capital of Australia. Coonabarabran holiday accommodation puts you in proximity to all these and more for the holiday adventure of a lifetime.

Most of the Coonabarabran accommodation you’ll find is going to be in the form of houses and cottages. These offer plenty of space and can handle anywhere from 2 to 10 people, so no matter what the size of your group might be or the reason for your travel, you’ll find the ideal house to match your needs. From these houses, you can visit the Siding Spring Observatory, the Warrumbungle Observatory or the Milroy Observatory. You can also check out Warrumbungle National Park or the Crystal Kingdom Museum. It’s all waiting just minutes away.
