Fernhill

Fernhill is a 19th-century estate in New South Wales with a grand main building and extensive surrounding gardens. The property features Victorian-style architecture and landscaped grounds planted with native Australian vegetation.

The estate was established in the 19th century and reflects the architectural preferences of wealthy colonial settlers. The building and its design reveal how European influences shaped early Australian residential construction during that period.

The house and grounds reflect how wealthy settlers wanted to live and what they valued in their surroundings. Walking through the gardens and around the building shows the choices they made about comfort, display, and connection to the land.

The grounds can be explored on foot via walking paths that lead around the property. Visitors should check in advance for opening times and which areas are open to the public.

The estate preserves many original structural features that show how it was initially built. The gardens contain native plant species that were selected and planted by the early residents themselves.
