Description from owner
Description
Heritage Homestead destination or stop-over offering Australian outback experiences including accommodation on historic Darling River. Built in 1870's of stone & pine logsthe large rooms and high ceilings are characteristic of the period. Wood fires burn brightly during winter & in summer the wide verandas provide shade & views across the lawns sloping down to the river.
Extensive gardens of jacaranda and peppercorn trees surround the homestead beyond which stand original out-buildings, fruit and vegetable garden & modern mod-grass tennis court. Our position on the irrigation weir - created by the lock on the Murray immediately below Wentworth and the Murray-Darling River Junction - ensures a constant water supply for 'Avoca' residents and gardens. The property covers 104 acres, incuding more than 1km of river frontage lined with healthy old river red gums and young saplings. You could truly be at a peaceful oasis providing serenity and relaxation for your enjoyment.
Typically one or two couples stay for one or two nights every week or two on average. Their rooms are at one end of the long homestead and ours are at the other, which provides privacy for guests outside meal times. We do not employ staff so guests can set their own times for meals and they usually accept our offer of a complimentary tour of the old buildings which, when things were really humming, accommodated about 30 farm hands, jackaroos, domestic staff, gardener, owners, manager, and children.
