It is a beautiful house more than 100 years old. It is very well planned house. The lady who gave the introduction to the Bucklander family gave a very well description about the family and this lovely house too. One can travel time and see the architecture and beauty of the house inside and outside. It has a beautiful green lawn where one can come and have a picnic in the summers outdoor.
If you are a little in love with the beauty of the past, this place will not disappoint. My partner and I were the only ones there and we took our time exploring and delighting in the details of how well made things were. Also intriguing to think of the relationship between the lady of the house and her unpaid companion. The companion was chosen by the dying first wife to become the next and care for the children as well as having many more. The garden is lovely and I'd recommend dressing up in old fashioned clothes and having a picnic! I wish it was a bit cheaper and then I'd visit more often $10 entry.
We have been meaning to visit here for sometime. Glad we finally made it, it was a quiet day, we felt like we had the house to ourselves, only spotted one other family late during our visit. It's a wee bit of the beaten track, hard to think you're in the middle of bustling Newmarket. Enjoying wandering around the house trying to imagine what it would have been to live there in those times. My favourite area was The Boy's Barrack's at the top of the house, even the Playroom was cool. But as the signage informs you, it was warm during the Summer, but cold during the Winter. Well worth a visit !
A delightful 19th century Colonial Home set in the heart of Newmarket. Ample parking on site and a Victorian style garden to visit as well. The house has a $10 entrance fee which is well worth the visit. There is a small shop on site.
Loved exploring Highwic last weekend. The staff Chris and Lee were so kind in sharing their knowledge with us about the family and history of the house. We ended up spending two hours there and will definitely be back for one of their upcoming baking events.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
We were the only visitors, my daughter was intrigued by that doll house & antique dolls on the beds. We loved stepping back in time. Oh I love the garden.
Lovely school holiday trip to explore this huge mansion. Very kid friendly with the search and find activities. Clipboards and pencils provided! The gardens were also a fun place to explore.
This is a must visit for anyone who appreciates historic buildings. This Carpenter Gothic building with its quality period interiors is an all round delightful experience.
What an amazing experience I had today, the moment I entered on the hill I felt like I m in 1920s, the house itself is beautiful and the receptionist RUTH was just amazing. while she was explaining me everything about the Buckland family tree , I felt like that I m In that time when stories happened in highwic...such an amazing in day this house. I was going out and coming back so many times as I liked it so much. everything inside the house is a kind of story. I must say, People who like history and visiting historical houses should must visit here. I even felt like If i stayed over there longer , I might gonna end up bringing my bags to stay over there. Very Peaceful. I m’m sure that i will be visiting highwic again someday!
Very interesting historic property with well-preserved artifacts donated by the actual family that live here and called Highwic "home"Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
