The homestead is the perfect getaway for family groups, corporates or groups of friends to escape the city. A luxurious getaway in the Western District, you’ll feel truly hidden away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The large circular driveway and bluestone exterior lead to a magnificently renovated and restored grand homestead.


Relax by the pool, have a hit of tennis, or head out exploring the old buildings and farm. A walk along the Warrambine Creek searching for the resident platypus is always fun and on the way back you can collect the fresh eggs from the chook house.


If you feel like venturing out further you can visit the nearby Great Ocean Road, a hit of golf at the Inverleigh golf club or dinner and few drinks at the Inverleigh pub. Head ten minutes further for the best steak in the region at the Beeac Pub. If you are after the ultimate foodie experience, award winning restaurant Brae is a 25 minute drive down the road or simply relax in one of the quiet areas of the sprawling homestead.

There’s something for all to enjoy.
