 The
Wilson family has farmed Puunyart, one of Victoria’s
oldest properties, since the 1930s. This area of Australia
was one of the first settled and interestingly, at
certain times of the year it resembles more an English
rural scene than the typical Australian countryside.
There are 3 guest rooms (2 with en
suite bathroom) in the main house. The Wilson’s have
retained vestiges of their Scottish heritage (look for
the small herd of Highland cattle near the homestead)
and the main hall is reminiscent of a Scottish country
house. Off the main hall is the sitting room - a
relaxing place to enjoy an evening drink or a good book.
At dinner the combination of Jim and Diana’s hospitality
and the fresh produce from the garden and farm provide
for an excellent evening at home. Breakfast is served in
the conservatory beside the kitchen. There is also a
billiard room, swimming pool and tennis
court.
