The Ghosts of Lochinvar House Sleepover

Join us at Lochinvar House, as we explore the legends and search for the ghosts!

Lochinvar House is tucked away at the foot of the Hunter Valley Wine

Country. It was built on the estate of one of the first land owners in

the area. It has seen a number of owners since it was built in the late

1820's , as well as attacks by hostile bushrangers and the legacy of

convict labourers that were shackled to the walls of the property.

There are reports  of a female that wanders the hallway, footsteps at night, noises such as the ticking of a clock that does not exist, the piano playing when no one is there, the arguments of people who cannot be seen.

These are a few of the paranormal disturbances that have been witnessed and reported during the time that this house has been a Bed and Breakfast.

Now it's your turn to feel the ghosts of this place - are you ready?

Covid

Safe practices mean that we need to make sure that you are safe not

only from the ghosts but also from the pandemic so we will be making a

few important changes to all of our tours and events and this being a

sleepover - needs extra special attention.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK

Only 2 beds are singles

All  other beds are double only - sharing is for couples or very close

family or friends. You can purchase a double for yourself but know that

you will be paying more for it, as our numbers are limited to those sleeping the night.

Food - you can bring snacks and a limited amount of alcohol. We advise you to

be wise with drinks as we are doing a long investigation session so please keep

alcohol to small amounts. We will organise a pizza supper for you and there

will be a grazing snack box for each person provided. Any food allergies

or intolerances MUST be advised to us before the event or they will not

be catered for

Breakfast is supplied as part of your package and is a standard hot buffet breakfast.

Tea and Coffee is available all the time.If you need a special type of milk please bring it with you as normal full cream is all that is provided.

Bedding and towels are supplied.
Paranormal equipment will be supplied by Oz Para tech. Any handling of equipment will be done following Covid Safe Protocols.
If you wish to bring a mask to wear you are welcome to do so.
We will have hand sanitizing stations throughout the house.
