Duneira Mt Macedon...a place of timeless elegance


Duneira is an 1875 historic Victorian homestead in Mount Macedon. Mt Macedon is less than an hour's drive from Melbourne and there are some exceptional properties to see on the way.  Duneira is a property I am particularly fond of and the phrase, timeless elegance certainly describes Duneria which is well worth the trip...visit their website for all the events, etc...here

Tours of the home explain the past and present activities.  The house features an extensive library, artwork collection, Persian rugs, grand pianos and interesting period furniture.  The one-hour tour starts in the lounge room with morning tea...details


The Heritage Garden

The stunning heritage garden is open to the public at various times of the year...2nd and 4th May the next tours... and includes a guided tour of the house...here.. The architecture, size and array of plants are a great tribute to Duneria's colonial past and to the unusual climate at Mt Macedon.


Stuart Stoneman was the seventh owner of  Duneira and his vision was to maintain and preserve Duneira and open it to the public and for it to continue to be a place where people have the opportunity to learn and relax; to enable interested individuals and groups to have access to the property; and in certain instances to enjoy suitable social and other functions... here
