Avoca Homestead is a landmark in the area, having ’lived’ in three centuries. Built in the 1800’s it moved through the 1900’s and is now opening its doors to the 21st century. It was built in 1871 of wood and pine log construction. A stone extension was added in 1878.
Your hosts Ian and Barbara Law welcome you to historic Avoca Homestead, its four levels of accommodation, beautiful gardens and Historic Outbuildings, as seen on ’GETAWAY’.
Large rooms and high ceilings are characteristic of the period, and wood fires burn brightly during winter. The wide verandahs provide a view across lawns sloping down to the river. Extensive gardens of jacaranda and peppercorn trees surround the homestead, beyond which stand original out-buildings, a gardener’s cottage and an adjoining fruit and vegetable garden. A mod-grass tennis court lies beyond a long hedge of large old oleander trees.
Avoca Homestead is the ideal place to get away from the ’rat race’ and ’recharge the batteries’.
Day tours are welcome. Morning and Afternoon tea is available.
Spend the day enjoying the gardens and looking at some Outback History.
