It was originally owned by John R. Dower a wealthy merchant and local magistrate. In recent times the house was left derelict and it seemed that the house and its fantastic architectural detail were to be lost forever. Luckily the present owners Tom and Breda Conway saw the potential of the house and have restored and furnished it to its former glory. The former drawing room is now the guest dining room complete with magnificent marble fireplace. All food served to our guests is fresh and produced locally.
Breakfast is served to suit the individual tastes and dietary requirements of our guests.
There is also a maid's stairwell leading down to the large impressive kitchen. Ironing facilities, baby high chairs and cots are also available. A payphone for guest use is located in the front lobby.
