A delightful pub stay. Treated to dinner at the pub when it was closed to the public and spent time with the family in the backyard.

What an amazing place for a population of 12.
Shayne and Donna have renovated and only been the owners for 2 years. Their reputation is well regarded.Leggi altro

Mintaro
1 gennaio 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Such a beautiful old historic setting where there are no new houses.
All the BnBs are old stone cottages and the feel is definitely travelling through the mid 1800s

A great new years afternoon drive

Jesuit monastery
1 gennaio 2022, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Such amazing history.
The Jesuits were founded by a young Spanish courtier called Inigo who swapped a life of violence and through dedication to helping others founded the Jesuits.

He thought the Latin translation of his name was Ignatius and hence St Ignatious Jesuit priests.

This monastery and vineyard were settled by one of the young priests Father Kranewitter and 100 German and Silesian migrants. They purchased 100 acres in 1849 and he named the property Sevenhill in honour of the seven Hills of Rome.

The first wines were produced on the property in 1858.

Whilst the young Edmund completed his legal studies in England his cousin managed tge Station until his return.

Having fallen in love with the English manor houses he engaged an Englidh architect to design a home similar. He engaged 60 tradesmen, most of which he brought out from England to complete the home in 23 months.

He surrounded the home with a polo ground, racecourse, boating lake and a cricket pitch.
