The house's interior is of interest as an example of a 1930s renovation rather than as an historic house of Australia's mid Colonial period.

The gardens are spectacular, the maor is breathtaking , Draws you back to bygone eras, worth a visit just for the wow factor.

It is sooo well maintained & gives you a wee taste of the old world charm, very family & child friendly... More

This a a great place to visit while in Melbourne. Easy access on public transport ( train to Ripponlea station ). Informative guide around the mansion and the grounds a delight to explore.

I love to look around an old home and garden. This does not disappoint if you like this too. The garden is great good picnic spot..

We went there a few years ago. The staff gave us a very detailed history about the original owner of the house and how the house was built and used. The garden is really beautiful and interesting. National Trust is doing a wonderful job to keep these histories of Melbourne alive.

One of the jewels in the crown of the National Trust. The tour of the mansion is an interesting look at the way of life in a past era.

I loved the history of the place, but felt it lacked in the way the tour we wee had pre-booked was messed up. My experience should have been more enjoyable. Hope things have changed for the better.

The gardens surrounding the mansion were very enjoyable and mansion itself was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed the day exploring the gardens and went on a tour to view the mansion itself.
