4. Talisker Homestead - 11 Bedrooms

73km from Penola · 1 site · Lodging

Talisker is an 11 bedroom, 5 bathroom home at this stage. Initially forming part of the Merino Downs pastoral run (taken up by Francis Henty in 1836). Talisker passed to Francis’s daughter Caroline on the death of Francis in 1889. Merino Downs was one of the first three squatting runs established in Victoria. Following Caroline’s marriage to Angus McLeod, the Talisker Homestead was commissioned by architect Charles D’Ebro prominent for his design of Stonnington (Malvern) and Langi Willie (Skipton). The homestead (circa 1901) is a large U shaped designed Edwardian home of some 26 rooms (not all are available to guests as some parts of the home are undergoing further renovations). Featuring a viewing tower with expansive 360 degree views, elaborate plasterwork, colour leadlights and handsome timber and marble mantles throughout the home. The original garden design is evident with Bunya Bunya pines, a large Oak and a Kurrajong tree. Talisker is named for Angus McLeod’s (please note McLeod and MacLeod are used interchangeably) ancestral seat on the Isle of Skye. Talisker was for centuries a possession of the Clan MacLeod. In 1820 Donald Macleod, 6th of Talisker, sold his interest in Talisker and emigrated to Van Diemen's Land, now known as Tasmania. In 1825, Hugh MacAskill took over the Talisker estate and completed the clearance process begun under his predecessor. Five years later, in 1830, he founded the Talisker Distillery and the legendary Talisker whisky was born.

Great spot, close to town and local attractions like the Umpherston Sinkhole just down the road. Plenty of space for the kids to run free while parents sit back, relax, enjoy a fire and the serenity. Great sun exposure for the solar panels too! Natasha and Damian were very welcoming and accomodating. We were lucky to be invited up to feed the goats including bottle feeding baby goat Milo… so adorable! Kids had an absolute ball! Thank you for opening up your property guys!

We loved camping at Pine Ridge! The sites were spacious and the hosts were very accommodating!! Our kids loved playing on the hay bales, and feeding the hosts miniature goats. We even got some amazing honey and got to see all the hosts birds. Definitely worth staying.

Such a peaceful place to stay. The sunsets through the trees are lovely. Looking out on the farmland with cows and paddocks was very relaxing. We loved the friendly highland cow in the next paddock too, who was very welcoming. It is a short drive into Mt Gambier but far enough away to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere which we loved.

We had a lovely stay at Pine Ridge Purple. It was a great base to explore Mt Gambier and the surrounding areas. It’s about a 10 minute drive into Mt Gambier. It was very quiet and relaxing. The site was large and mostly level - no issue with towing our caravan in or setting up. Natasha was fabulous and gave us a tour of her farm animals including getting to meet her adorable miniature goats! A beautiful farm stay.

Great paddock for an overnighter, plus they have a Highland Cow (say less). We are on our way back to Perth from Melb and this served as a nice spot to pull in for a night. Freezing cold and rainy but the highland cow (Nin) and the cows next paddock over were a nice treat to say hi to despite the weather. We’re traveling in a swag with our dog. Paddock was level and fire pit was provided. No complaints! Thank you
