Couples' reviews

My partner, Sarah and I were lucky enough to stay on Melrose Park farm for a week and then have our dream wedding ceremony and reception right on site. We would like to thank Elizabeth and family for allowing us this privilege and for their hard work, sincerity, thoughtfulness and help in making this a magical experience for us. It is impossible to visit Melrose park and not absolutely fall in love. This property effortlessly cradles the balance between rustic rural authenticity and historic opulence. From the idyllic hillside vista of this stunning redbrick 1800's homestead you can drink in breathtaking panoramic views across quaint farmland, vineyards, olive groves, orchards, rainbow trout filled creeks and romantic blue haze layered hills. You can walk the extensive grounds and meet the sheep, goats, deer (including a very large and friendly elk), springbok, cows and of course PigPig (the family favourite). The accomodation options on the property are very well considered. From the quirkyness and privacy of the very well converted silo accomodation, to the 'deer cottage' which virtually acts as an in situ safari Park. There is of course also the homestead itself. This home is one of the most impressive early colonial examples west of the Great Dividing Range and was a privilege to stay in and explore. The property also contains what is known as the 'Wed Shed'. The owners have carefully and thoughtfully reappointed, reshaped, redesigned and repurposed an old cow shed and turned it into what can only be described as rustic bliss. This venue came alive at night and was the perfect place to hold our wedding reception. Thanks again for the lifelong memories. We miss Melrose already! Jamie and Sarah
