About this event
Saumarez Homestead: House Tour and Garden Visit - General Entry
This ten-hectare grazing property was first inhabited by British settlers led by Henry Dumaresq in the 1830s. Today it includes an elegant, extensive, 30 room Edwardian homestead, built between 1888 and 1906, picturesque gardens, and 15 farm and other buildings dating up to 1910, with their collections of early farm equipment.
Come and enjoy the grounds with family and friends.
Be guided through the intact, furnished two-storey mansion which is a time capsule of family life, largely untouched since the Edwardian era. Saumarez Homestead features a wonderful collection relating to family pastoral life from the 1870’s to the 1970’s. Enjoy a self-guided tour of the outbuildings and stroll through Mary White’s garden, with its Jocelyn Brown-style cottage garden, the picking garden and the Heritage Rose Garden, managed in collaboration with the Australian Garden History Society.
You will be asked to present your ticket at point of entry. You can do this by either printing a copy or displaying a digital version on your selected device.
