Welcome to Talisker Homestead!
Located in Western Victoria, among the rolling hills of Henty, the property holds a long and storied history dating back to the 1800's. The homestead (circa 1901) sits atop a large hill and is a large U shaped designed Edwardian home featuring 11 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. Talisker comfortably sleeps 24 people.
Talisker is a space for you and your loved ones to create your own experience.
We look forward to hosting you!
Please contact us if you wish to bring pets or have an event at our venue.
A few things to remember to make your stay at Talisker a safe and enjoyable one for all:
•Talisker is a working farm with machinery, dams and other hazards.
-Given the nature of the property, we do not feel it is suitable for young children. We request that you message us for approval before any chilren under 10 are brought to the property. There are many decorative pieces around the house and the house is not child proofed as such - please be aware of this and take care
-Given Talisker is a working farm, there may be sheepwork happening and the owners (Andrew and Kate) may be on the farm at any given time. We generally try to let guests know what is happening on the farm, but if you see anything concerning, please always just call or message us
•We have sheep on the property (in paddocks, not around the house but you may encounter them if you go for a walk). Sheep are not dangerous, but they are animals and we simply ask you to respect their space.
•Talisker is a historic building and the need to preserve the history of this beautiful building is paramount. To this end, we ask that care always be taken around the house – we have endless space to play cricket or kick a football, and we would ask that any activities be undertaken away from the house, and especially our leadlight windows.
•The rooftop are currently not available for guest use and we ask you to respect this as we continue to work on the home
