If you are looking for serenity, comfy interiors, abundant heritage and history and an amazing flora and avian company, this is the place to be. Ning and Rob are a warm couple who host you with the perfect hospitality. Rob was kind enough to share his most fascinating stories and experiences that kept us asking for more. Ning served us a wonderful breakfast that sealed our stay at the Homestead. Our seven year old enjoyed exploring the manicured gardens and backyard that are full of antique paraphernalia; indeed a fantastic glimpse into the Classical World. The wonderful property is a perfect getaway for tourists and visitors. Must visit for those looking to get away from the tourist hustle bustle and looking for an offbeat retreat.

Everything was just as we wanted it to be

I couldn’t fault a single thing about my stay. The heritage of the homestead, along with the peaceful walks around the property, created a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The continental breakfast was a delightful surprise, far beyond just cereal and toast. The family was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you Rob and Ning.

Beautiful location, set in the magnificent counryside on an historic country property. Olde-worlde charm, huge rooms, high ceilings and a billiard room were the standouts in our 'wing'. We felt very welcomed by the delightful hosts who treated us to a lovely glass of wine as we sat on the huge verandah looking down the rather grand drive to the house. After a very comfortable nights sleep in the incredibly quiet room we were treated to an expansive continental breakfast with local fresh bread, jersey cow's milk and a proper 'Nespresso' coffee to start the day. If you're after a glimpe of Australia's genteel country life you won't be disappointed with a stay here. We just stayed overnight on our way from Melbourne to Sydney but I'd recommend staying a few more days to really soak up the atmosphere. Top marks if you're looking for something different with a bit of substance!

Just a word of warning, the road from the main raod to the property has some stretches with large pot-holes so drive with a bit of caution.

Our breakfast was made extra special by the setting of the most beautiful crockery & cutlery placed in the magnificent dining area. A freshly made fruit salad was an extra delicious touch.

That we personally couldn't stay longer. There was nothing we didn't like.

It was just so lovely to be able to stay at such an authentically historic property . The rooms, the antiques and the garden ! Our room was warm and peaceful even on our rainy stay ! The continental breakfast was tasty and ample to set us up for a day of exploring. Seating at the huge antique dining table was such an experience and there were numerous cosy spots to relax . However, the best part of the stay was our interactions with Rob and Ning . They were such interesting people who freely gave of their time to make sure that we felt welcome and knew of local food choices, restaurants , wineries and local attractions. What improvements they have made to their gardens! We felt very welcome .

Everything was clean and comfortable but as this is a historic house, the bathrooms may not be an ensuite. We thought it was quite interesting and unique to use a 1930’s bathroom of which we had exclusive use. Others might expect new decor but be prepared that this house is full of antiques and has the quirkiness that is evident in older houses. It was a bit tricky to find but using our GPS and Ning’s directions it was not really a problem .
