The homestead of Tonimbuk House offers a perfect opportunity to unwind in rural tranquility. The house looks north to the Black Snake Ranges and Bunyip State Park with sensational views and silence little changed from when it was built in the 1890s. A series of walking tracks links the garden with remnant forest and wetland areas and, in recognition of its intrinsic qualities, the property has been accorded "land for wildlife" status. Kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, echidnas and goannas are resident and over one hundred species of birds have been seen on the property.
Traditional gardens, containing a solar-heated swimming pool and a croquet lawn, surround the homestead. Produce from the fruit and vegetable garden is available to guests as well as eggs from our free-ranging chooks.
The heritage wing retains its Victorian features and character and is furnished with antiques and nineteenth century paintings. It consists of two bedrooms with queen-sized beds, bathroom and lounge with an open fire. The heritage wing has its own private verandah and entry.
The children's wing also contains two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and one with two single beds. It has its own bathroom and a lounge which contains double and single sofa beds should extra accommodation be needed. (There is a small television in this lounge as well as one in the main lounge.)
The two wings are divided by the fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, breakfast room, hallways and laundry. A barbecue and outside table overlook the pool.
All linen is provided and a portacot and high chair are available on request. There is wireless internet connection. |
