Mawarra Manor, heritage listed and built in 1932, is set on 3 acres and sleeps 8 in 4 exquisite bedrooms. The garden is recognised as the most famous surviving example by renowned garden designer Edna Walling.
Whilst both house and garden have undergone extensive restoration and modernisation.
The Manor incorporates all traditional formal and informal rooms as one would expect in a home of this era, including billiards room and indoor swimming pool and sauna.
The garden offers a pedigree like no other, the centrepiece being the sweeping stone staircase leading to the stunning octagonal reflecting pond at the bottom of the property, described by Edna as "a symphony of steps and beautiful trees".
Beautiful vistas and rare plantings reflect the love that has been lavished on Mawarra over the years with many beautiful paths traversing the grounds. Wander through and find the lawn tennis court, a cottage garden and a model Tudor village.
You'll discover, discreetly tucked within the grounds, Edna Walling Cottage. Built in 1936 and based on Princess Elizabeth and Margaret's life-sized dolls house, the cottage is fully self-contained and is separately available through its own VRBO listing.
