Description

Tours of the Anlaby House and Garden are available for groups of 10 or more [by prior appointment]. These tours include the principal rooms of the house including the servants work rooms, kitchen, scullery and butlers pantry. At the end of the house tour you will have a strong sense of how the family and servants lived and worked there. With approximately 10 acres of garden a guided walk through these historically listed gardens typically includes the shade house, glass house, walled vegetable garden, rose gardens and terraced lawns. The original carriageway winds past the front of the house and down to the peacock aviary. The garden is indeed a restoration work in progress and not all in pristine condition. The garden is of the old fashioned English style yet located in a dry South Australian climate and this creates challenges. We wish we still had the 14 gardeners from 1904!! The House and Garden Tours indeed take you on an historic journey through a step back in time! Lunch or Morning/Afternoon Tea can be provided for your Tour Group please check our website Tours page for further information.
