Ginninderry Homestead

Hotel/motel/B&B

The homestead is a spacious, faux-Georgian manor in Canberra’s north-west. Set in a 70-hectare property, it has views of the Brindabellas, four friendly dogs and Galloway cattle. The lush gardens and stone fountain are a popular backdrop for weddings. Four queen-size ensuite rooms are furnished with romantic antiques. Entertain yourself with billiards and a pianola in the games room, or soak in the courtyard spa. There is a private helipad for romantic twilight flights across the country, and hosts Sue and Amelia can organise helicopter winery tours – a truly decadent way to experience the region’s wines.
