Whitlow Manor is our charming country abode set in a tranquil garden at the foothills of Walhalla, opposite Stringers Creek. It is perfect for a family getaway or to simply relax with good friends. When you are ready to unwind, curl up in front of the warm combustion fire with a good book, a hot chocolate or a glass of wine and you will be in Viking heaven...or should we say Walhalla.
Forget your worries and absorb yourself in the sheer beauty of this historic gold mining town with its rich story. The Manor closely replicates the facade of the old Whitlow Family's home from the 1800's but makes use of a warm modern day interior. Just 200m from the old gold mine, located on the main road, it is within easy walking distance of the township shops.
The Manor has 3 bedrooms, all with closets and heating. The main bedroom has a QS bed, the second bedroom has a double bed and the 3rd bedroom has a single over double bunk all with quality mattresses. There is a 1 bed studio downstairs, opened when you book for 8-9 people (or at extra cost) with a double bed and ensuite (shower and toilet) that is ONLY accessible by the outside stairwell.
Walhalla is a gorgeous, friendly little township situated in a picturesque valley surrounded by lush forest. It is steeped in Victorian gold mining history and visitors are encouraged to tour the old gold mine and take the Goldfields Train Ride. The towns Post Office and Fire Brigade Museums are well worth a visit and the old cemetery rising above the town is well worth the short but steep walk. The night time ghost tour is an absolute must experience and tells of the towns difficult and sometimes disturbing past. Who knows whether you might see a real ghost or even a wandering deer at night. In the morning, don't forget to visit the quaint little shops, café and pub in town.
If you are feeling a little energetic, the house is just 200 meters from the steep track leading to the Walhalla Cricket Ground or go and explore the beautiful Tramway Track overlooking the township.
While your here ,why not try panning for gold in Stringers Creek, who knows if you will start the next gold rush.
