Labassa Mansion is stunning, highly decorated and full of artistic detail. Every corner feels like a masterpiece, from the grand staircase to the ornate ceilings. It’s one of those places where history and art blend beautifully, and you can’t help but be impressed.
Splendiferous! What took me so long to get here?? Continuously occupied from 1863 to relatively recent times as subdivided flats.nnStory of splendour to disrepair & restoration. From Melb's gold rush wealthy, well heeled occupants to WW refugees, migrants to arty, musical, bohemian psychedelics & students. All have left their indelible mark in this stately home. Fortuitously acquired by National Trust in 1980 & now partially restored. Reflects the heritage & history in this context.nnUniquely Melb's heritage - then a far flung remote outpost as a fledgling colony where exquisite & fine materials were shipped enduring long & precarious voyage. Melb's early settlement did however have skilled builders & craftsmen to create such lavish grandeur.nnThis is one of Nat Trust premier properties that has volunteers aplenty thankfully. Join the guided tours on the open days 3rd Sun of mth - pre-booking advised via Nat Trust website. No parking onsite or on street but free parking in nearby streets or take public transport.nnTearoom is excellent but not the antiquated toilet gross!. Definitely do the Tower climb tour for the stunning views. Need a few hours take it in all properly. Tours are run for different parts of this stately home. While volunteer guides do a great job - some are inaudible for larger groups esp when doing the outside building tour.nnAs for the rest - will let the attached pics elaborate the magnificent details - exterior mottled pink marble inset & Hellenistic figureheads facade, uniquely curved original glass windows, ornate ceiling cornices & paintings, gilded wallpaper, grand staircase, rooms & everything in between
A beautiful place to visit on the last Sunday of the month. Great tours offered by the trust. Membership is good value.
Tours are by reservation only, so I recommend buying tickets onlain. This mansion impresses with its luxury and history. Very beautiful both inside and outside. We took the excursion, it was quite interesting, but I do not recommend going on an excursion with children under 5 years old because they are bored. We booked tickets for 3:30 and after the tour we almost didn’t have time to see everything I don’t advise highly sensitive and emotional people to visit this place because the energy in the house is heavy and it was not easy for me to recover, severe headaches began, I lost my appetite, I was shaking a lot, and this happened after visiting the mansion, and the next day everything disappeared.
Stunning historical mansion, open days are held every third Sunday, best to book tickets in advance. The guides conduct tours of the house every hour, but you can explore on your own. Tea room cafe in the courtyard has some lovely scones and cake.
