Wivenhoe

Wivenhoe is a magnificent Colonial villa set in a parklike rural setting at Mater Dei, 229 Macquarie Grove Road, Camden. It is open for guided tours on the first Sunday of each month except January, between 10 am and 3 pm. The cost is $5 for adults and children 12 years and over.

The villa (attributed to architect Verge) was built by Sir Charles Cowper and named after his wife's home in Essex. Some particularly fine specimens of the Bunya Bunya Pine are in the grounds.

Groups are also welcome at other times by arrangement. Morning and afternoon teas by arrangement. Phone 02 4655 7057 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
