The Guest House:
The main house is an enchanting historic home and was the inspiration and host for Australia's first Murder Mystery party retreat! Currently attracting large return groups annually, such as Probus clubs, walking, golf and cycling groups, corporate conference retreats, Brigadoon attendees and Bundanoon's famous and festive Christmas in July guests, the business could be further enhanced for a wide range of purposes (a health retreat or rehabilitation/assisted living accommodation would also work well). It has hosted various kinds of receptions and is a recommended accommodation venue for many local wedding businesses. Beautifully presented, there is still scope to improve and the business potential is open to your imagination.
