Located 30 minutes West of Melbourne, Werribee Mansion is a living, breathing postcard of 19th century Australia. Wealthy sheep farmers built 'the mansion' and the Italianate-style architecture and its Victorian period interiors are as inspiring today as when it was completed in 1877.

Werribee Mansion is surrounded by 10 hectares of formal gardens, widely attributed to W.R Guilfoyle, Curator of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. The gardens feature a parterre, which is a geometric garden design best viewed from the mansion balcony, pond and original grotto. The grounds are superbly maintained and there is no trouble finding a shaded spot to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Werribee Mansion is surrounded by 10 acres of geometric gardens, largely W.R. Attributed to Guilfoyle, the curator of the Botanical Garden of Melbourne. The garden shows a symmetrical garden, best seen from the balcony of the mansion, a pond and an original grotto.
