The Wentworth Courer says it has been sold as a women's refuge.

The SHMH Group used as its offices while it has run into planning height redevelopment issues.

There were five offers at or above $15 million when it last sold in 2014.

Its sale followed the decision by the Country Women's Association of NSW (CWA) to sell its long-time 51 room property.

The Greenknowe Avenue building housed their head office and auditorium as well as providing $50 a night accommodation.

It was secured in the early 1950s, and opened in 1954 by Lady Slim on its 1,347 square metre site.

The CWA was formed in 1922 when country women were fighting isolation and a lack of health facilities.
