Signature Experience – Anlaby Historic Experience

With heritage-listed gardens, historic architecture and sweeping rural vistas, Anlaby is a destination steeped in history and tranquillity. Enjoy a guided tour of the Anlaby gardens and the homestead. Catch a sneak peek into the life of the servants when Anlaby was operating as one of the great South Australian rural homes of the Edwardian era. The butler’s pantry, scullery and kitchen give an insight into how a house like Anlaby depended on a retinue of domestic staff. Marvel at the terraced lawns, rose gardens, peacock house, shade house, glass house, camellia house, walled vegetable garden, and the amazing trees in the Anlaby heritage listed tree collection.
