Historic Quamby Homestead (built in 1888), a four star, AAA-rated Bed and Breakfast, is located just a short drive from Port Fairy and the Great Ocean Road.  It offers the opportunity to soak up some history whilst enjoying the serenity of a 3-acre botanical garden setting.  Overlooking tranquil farm land, Quamby's superb gardens (William Guilfoyle designed) are a main feature of the property. Guests can simply relax in the garden, or wander the 70 acre Homestead property - home to cattle and poultry, kangaroos and possums, perfect for children.

Scattered throughout the garden, the accommodation includes luxury Queen and Twin Mews Rooms and the original School and Carriage Houses. The Carriage House has two bedrooms (with king and single beds), bathroom, large living area, kitchen and delightful private terrace garden.

The School House (queen-size), where the Lindsay children were once educated, has superb views over the dam and farmland. The five Mews Rooms have queen-size beds (one twin) and en-suites and are surrounded by attractive gardens. Breakfast is served in the homestead dining room by a wood fire in winter, or on a shady verandah in the summer months.

Quamby is an ideal accommodation break in your travels, as it is situated between the Great Ocean Road and the Grampians, en-route Melbourne to Adelaide and just 25mins from Port Fairy.
