Enchanting Homestead and Garden in Skipton, Western Victoria.

Banongill Station is a historic pastoral estate two hours from Melbourne in Skipton, Western Victoria. The garden’s vast, sweeping lawn is dotted with exotic trees, a wisteria-draped pergola, beds massed with seasonal dahlias and daffodils that extend to the edge of the majestic Mount Emu Creek. Banongill Station is one of the finest historic luxury destinations in Victoria.
