ANNOUNCEMENT 18/03/2020

In keeping with the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services guidelines and having sought expert advice on the growing impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to cancel this tour.

Our goal is to do everything we can to help curb the spread of this outbreak in Victoria.

As a result we are issuing all ticket holders for the month of March, April and May a full refund. All customers who purchased a ticket for this period will receive a refund (including fees) directly to the account used to purchase.

Please keep an eye out on our website for https://www.nationaltrust.org.au/vic/ for information and updates on the resumption of tours.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Tours will start from Tuesday 4 February 2020 and will be the first Tuesday of each month thereafter except for November. There will be three tours at 10am, 12pm and 2pm and each tour will take 45 minutes - 1 hour, with a maximum of 15 people per tour.

The history of Waller House is often associated with the life and career of noted Australian muralist, mosaicist and stained glass artist Napier Waller. Less is known however about the women who also worked within these walls. Christian Waller worked alongside her husband to establish this superb Arts and Crafts style home, whilst also pursuing her own successful career. Christian’s young niece Klytie Pate came to live in the house, going on to become one of Australia’s foremost studio potters of the twentieth century. Napier’s second wife Lorna, also a talented artist, worked alongside Napier to create the Hall of Memory mosaic for the Australian War Memorial.

Join Tony and enrich yourself in the lives of those that lived, created, loved, and lost in Waller House.

Please note there is no street parking. The un-restored condition of Waller House means that it is not wheelchair accessible, and there are sections that may not be suitable for people with mobility impairments.

The address will be given after booking.
