Description of 2007 tour below:
Nestled
in the foothills of the Australian Alps in North Eastern Victoria,
historic Beechworth
is a lively town and the hub of a booming gourmet region. One
of Victoria’s best preserved gold towns, with a wealth of historic
buildings and attractions to explore, including the Historic and
Cultural Precinct, hailed as Australia’s best heritage
attraction. Surrounded by lush valleys and spectacular scenery, and blessed
with a diversity of regional produce, world class wines and four
distinct seasons, Beechworth is the perfect spot for a few days
of indulgence.
Beechworth showcases some of Victoria's finest
Guest Houses, B & B's,
and Cottages and we are opening their doors for you to take a glimpse
into the grace and charm of this Historic Town.
Come and spend the afternoon viewing some of the best accommodation
Beechworth has to offer. For the fifth consecutive year, the
Beechworth Kindergarten presents its renowned "Bed & Breakfast
Tour" of exquisite local accommodation houses.
This is a rare opportunity to step inside some of the most elegant
and impressive homes and gardens found anywhere in Australia.
This year we are thrilled to have an extensive list of 17 delightful
properties open for viewing.
Anyone that enjoys beautiful homes and gardens will love strolling
through the streets of Beechworth and visiting these beautiful
properties. From the old to the new, anything from glass conservatories
to luxurious bathrooms, all will be on display for you to enjoy.
The lovingly tended gardens that surround these establishments,
compliment the quality and thoughtfulness of the accommodation
on offer. Meander through cleverly designed, hedged and leafy
gardens, walk through beds of tulips and daffodils and marvel
at 100 year old oak trees. Rest and enjoy an indulgent afternoon
tea amongst the magnificent La Trobe gardens, spread across 11
acres and established in the mid 19th century. Music will fill
the air as local musicians from the acoustic band “A-Z” entertain
throughout the afternoon.
Join us for a pleasurable Spring afternoon.
