Our unique contactless reception model is designed to give the Geraldine hotel a “home away from home” atmosphere, as well as allowing for flexibility in your arrival time.
Beside the main door, which is reached via an accessible ramp, you will find a row of lockboxes connected to the various rooms.
Step through the front door to discover dramatic wood panelling on the walls and stairway, complemented by striking wallpaper that adds a pop of colour.

Six luxurious rooms await at this Geraldine hotel, three upstairs and three downstairs. While each room is unique, with different layouts based on the character of the property and subtle variations in décor, all share the following features:
- Super-king bed (option to split into twin beds for $30 housekeeping fee)
- Ensuite bathroom
- Kitchenette with mini-fridge, sink, and kettle
- Heat pump for heating and cooling to ensure year-round comfort
Below, we introduce each of the six rooms. Many of our return guests request a “favourite” room for each visit, while others endeavour to sample each room. Each room is themed after one of the former residents of The Vicarage.

Renovation and design features at The Vicarage Geraldine hotel
 |  |  |
For Michael and Brigitte Barker, of Barker's of Geraldine fame, renovating The Vicarage was a true labour of love. The updated interior both preserves its historic character and adds a splash of eye-catching colour.
As part of the renovation, the rundown yet much-loved historic vicarage was fully outfitted with modern comforts, from insulation and double glazing through to well-appointed bathrooms.
