Werribee Park Mansion

Time travel back to the 19th century by visiting the lavish, historical Werribee Park Mansion near the Victoria State Rose Gardens, one of the most beautiful, best botanic gardens in Melbourne city, just a half-hour drive from the CBD.

Werribee Park Mansion highlights

The house was built in the Renaissance Revival style, in 1877, with 60 rooms for you to explore. You will be in awe of the original antique furniture, and the many unique paintings on the walls.
