Discover the charm and elegance of a bygone era with a day tour to Anlaby Station, a historic homestead and heritage-listed garden nestled in the heart of South Australia''s Barossa Valley. This guided experience offers a unique glimpse into the life and times of the Edwardian era, with a focus on the great rural houses of South Australia.
The house tour takes you through the principal rooms, including the dining room, drawing room, smoking room, and library. You''ll also get a sneak peek into the life of the servants, with a visit to the butler''s pantry, scullery, and kitchen. Don''t forget to check out the flower arranging room and the possibly coldest bathroom in South Australia!
The garden tour is equally impressive, with access to the shade houses, glasshouse, and the walled vegetable garden. Here, you''ll find a variety of vegetables and herbs grown for use in the house. The formal areas of the garden are also included, along with the rockery and water-wise plantings, where sedums, succulents, and agaves add year-round color.
To top it all off, enjoy a two-course lunch with unlimited tea, coffee, and chilled water. The menu changes seasonally, and tailored menus are available upon request.
