“Interesting calm place”
Wonderful, quiet place with an astonishing view. Helpful, friendly staff. They answered all our questions, even let us join to an already started tour.
Definitely will go back to see the main house...

“Homestead history”
A lovely tour of the outside of Lanyon Homestead. COVID restrictions meant we couldn’t see inside :(
So much history!
After the tour we had a superb lunch at their cafe.

“Local history in spades”
This historic homestead is a great place to visit and spend a few hours looking around, the guided tour information and details are spot on and interesting, and you get a good look at what life would...
