"A really special experience hosted by Andy and Annie. No photos of the main house which is a living piece of history. This photo is one of the early residences.
We followed up with a full exploration of the grand gardens including tasting some beautiful fresh figs off the plantation.
I had a great time."

"Such a beautiful place to visit. Had an informative tour of the house with the owner. Its been maintained in its original condition and is stunning. A beautiful garden to wander through."
Kirsty O
"An interesting piece of local history. A grand old two storey house. For a fee - $10 adults or $5 child, the owner will take you on a guided tour of the lower floor rooms only.
Showcasing beautiful old furniture, detailed wallpapers, gold leaf highlights. This house is still very much a private residence for the owner and his family and is a work in progress. You may wander around the gardens at your leisure after the tour.
No photos allowed indoors."
