A fantastic place to discover a piece of Australia's history amongst the urban jungle. Our guide William kept us excited throughout our guided exploration of the property and kept our imagination tantalised with many facts and tales from the past. Thoroughly recommended place to visit.

The building was absolutely beautiful and the guide was very helpful. Most areas are beautiful recreations of how they looked, everything from the rooms to the colour of paint and the types of plants in the gardens. Would recommend to anyone interested in history.

An interesting historic house though not much emphasis is placed on the owners. The furniture is from that period and nice but the building itself is the main attraction. More

Historical, educational and interesting. Take the cottage tour for the full experience. The garden and grounds are sunny and peaceful and offer views of Parramatta City.
