Beautiful area

This home is in a scenic location.
Immerse yourself in Italian history.

The Old Macaroni Factory (1859) stands as a testament to Italian heritage. Constructed by Italian political refugee brothers Pietro & Giacomo Lucini, this beautiful Palladian-style building is the oldest of its type in Australia.

Pietro’s Residence in the northern annex is rich in history - the ceiling murals are political and poetic. Now lovingly restored to retain the original raw character complete with contemporary glamour and comfort.

The space
Pietro's Residence has been lovingly restored to retain the original raw character of the walls and ceilings with an added touch of contemporary glamour and comfort.

View the bedroom walls and ceiling murals depicting Italy’s fight for unification, while you snuggle in pure linen sheets.

Living room ceiling murals showcase snippets of Italian memories. A striking one-off artist designed sideboard houses a sink, bar fridge, tea & coffee making facilities and Italian treats (no cooking facilities). Modern facilities include hydronic heating, gas fireplace, TV (streaming only) and designer furnishings.

The bathroom (WC & Shower) ‘pod’, crafted from duck-egg blue glazed tiles, is so pretty on its raised platform complemented with luxurious ‘Loom’ towels & ‘Leif’ amenities.

Original stone steps from the back door onto your private sun-soaked terrace and bocce court complete your Italian immersion.

Explore our garden, meet the guinea fowl, wild ducks and the occasional kangaroo or echidna.

Guest access
Pietro's Residence has its own private entrance from the street.
Off-street parking is available.

The terrace and bocce court are for your personal enjoyment and you are welcome to explore the rest of the gardens.
