A special place that transports you to a different time! We always seek out historical homes and estates whilst travelling and Clarendon would have to be a clear stand out indeed! Beautifully presented and maintained by the National Trust, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, I thought it especially cool that they had a upright piano that used to belong to a previous occupant preserved and on display, a cool fact that I would have surely missed if it wasn’t for the knowledgeable volunteer! The place is peaceful and makes for great pictures! Would recommend taking some sandwiches and having a quick bite in the grounds, taking it all in :) we visited during an exhibition on Napoleon and some interesting connections with the estate which I did not expect! Very insightful

This is possibly the Grandest Edwardian (1830s) Pastoral Home in the Country providing a glimpse into the privileged lives of the English upper class settlers and the living conditions of their Convict labour force. Every room in this palace is adorned with period furnishings right down to the paintings, drapes & couture. Arriving off season and towards the end of the day, with only a few paying visitors, we received a personal tour through the lower floor rooms. This estate is a must see.

The huge effort that the volunteers put into making your visit to Clarendon Estate enjoyable is what really makes your visit. Whether it's the clothing, knowledge, or just the down to earth friendly vibe, I'm not sure, but mix it in with the huge effort put into the beautiful gardens that are surrounding this magnificent old Homested, the out door games, (potato race, horse shoe throwing, crochet) and you have yourself a magnificent experience for all the family.

we have 3 hours to kill before taking our flight back to Sydney. we decided to visit Clarendon Estate. we were transported to different era. i was surprised how beautiful the scenery, the house and the history were. We paid $25 for me and my son. the staff conducted a 30mins private tour of the house and the property. It his history the works that national trust and volunteers put on to restore its original glory. the garden was super full of bees and flowers.

Clarendon House, lovingly restored by the National Trust, is a grand old home built for a successful pastoralist and merchant (James Cox) in 1838 and maintained by about 100 servants. This building and surrounding grounds need to seen .. it’s like looking at the Pride and Prejudice set.

We turned up in time to see a vintage car rally arrive! What a sad story involved with the history of the house. The ladies were very knowledgeable- even told us about the ghosts of the house! Would love to revisit when it has been fully restored.
