Room type

North Suite

Room capacity: 2

Apart from the luxurious super king-size bed, it is the three-metre high pressed metal ceiling that dominates this 54-square-metre suite. With 180 degree views of historic Corowa through white shuttered windows, this light-filled space beckons guests to relax and read on the Le Corbusier day bed; relax and soak in the bathtub while contemplating the beauty of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed stained glass window, before relaxing some more over evening canapés in The Lounge. If all that relaxing could not possibly be enough, top it off with a relaxation massage in the spa on the ground floor.

Loveridge Suite

Room capacity: 2

Their most recently added suite captures the personal history of the owner of CIRCA 1936. Sydney Robert Edwin Loveridge was the mayor of Corowa in 1954 and a great-grandfather of your host Jen. The 54 square metre, light-filled north-west facing Loveridge Suite has its own private terrace, just perfect for afternoon drinks and taking in the quiet country town. The uniqueness of the Loveridge suite becomes obvious when you enter. The rattan fans take you to an exotic place far away. For the hard-working executive, you will find your desk space accommodates your needs while the oversized bathroom, with its trademark CIRCA copper bathtub and iron-wood daybed, will most certainly ensure a host of memorable moments and bring a whole new meaning to your “bath-time experience”.

South Suite

Room capacity: 2

The three-room, 50 square metre South Suite promotes the concept of 'spaces' - private space, shared space and pamper space. Entertain in the lounge, slumber in the bedroom or pamper yourself in the 18 square metre bathroom that features art deco lighting and Circa 1936's signature photographic artworks. Whether it is in the walk-through rain shower that allows panoramic views of majestic Murray River gums or relaxing in the high back, white and black bathtub set with your 'Bath Bar' amenities selection, you will be immersed in an environment of luxury as you take in the stunning simplicity of the one metre, circular stained glass window.

West Suite

Room capacity: 2

Overlooking the passing parade of the tree-lined main street, Circa 1936's largest suite also features a huge 20-square-metre bathroom with an oversized bathtub and French doors leading onto the spacious private balcony. With the full features of the art deco architecture on display, this suite allows guests to truly enjoy the seasons with the option of opening the French doors to allow a cooling breeze in the summer, or in the cooler months, staying cosy in front of the flickering flames of the fire as the sunshine filters softly through the shuttered windows. After a memorable day and you are preparing to turn in, enjoy your selection from the sleep-inducing nightcap menu.
