Property Information
Kananook Heritage House Premier Retreat is a unique c1880’s property which has recently been rebuilt and renovated and brought back to life for your enjoyment.
The 1880’s original weatherboard country Homestead and purpose built FSC Victorian ‘Private Residence’ Apartment are painted a striking white with a classical heritage green trim, reminiscent of Victorian houses of years gone by. The Victorian architecture is naturally enhanced by intricate Victorian decoration and attention to detail which in turn creates an atmosphere of romantic tranquil period charm that cannot be reproduced in any modern building or secondary outbuilding that’s located outside other residences.
Kananook’s Heritage Residence Apartments are available to enjoy and relax at, where you can ponder the local history book that depicts Kananook Homesteads famed association with the “Kananook Plate” which was run at every Race Day of the historic Lindenow Horse Races, to acknowledge that the racecourse was built on part of the original Kananook Estate.
You might even reminisce about the horses that would have surrounded the property in the past, and if you’re lucky enough, you could possibly see one of the beautiful Arabian horses that now grace the fields below Kananook House.
There are now many visual references to Kananook’s historic past with a vast variety of reclaimed feature timbers of many species and polished flooring, along with characterful furnishings and an array of decorative artworks including authentic original hand made wall mosaic features and an original stone pavement feature mosaic circle behind the bedroom of the FSC ‘Private Residence’ Apartment.
Every window is either a beautiful original sash or picture window which adds plenty of character and light to ensure the natural ambience of tranquil period charm is enhanced at the properties.
Relax as soon as you enter this peaceful retreat. You will find all the conveniences of home here, from wireless internet to Smart TV with Netflix to a fully equipped kitchen in the FSC ‘Private Residence’ Apartment and naturally a washer / laundry for your daily use after those busy days exploring the variety of day trips and the various activities available to you in the region.
Both Apartments feature 12ft high ceilings, charming lighting, a seperate bedroom and polished floors throughout. The Modern heating and RCAC provided maintain a comfortable interior temperature all year round, allowing you to observe the seasonal changes and associated climate outside, whilst ensuring your comfort when inside the interior of the historic residences.
EXPERIENCE KANANOOK HERITAGE HOMESTEAD PREMIER RETREAT
Kananook Heritage Homestead circa 1880’s Premier Retreat offers views over a field of Green and Orchard along with tranquil Victorian charm at the FSC Private Residence Apartment at Picnic Point Bairnsdale East Gippsland with a perfect day trip menu of world class Lakes, Beaches and Mountains for your sightseeing, then retreat back to your perfect getaway after a busy day with the tourist crowds.
Located in one of the prettiest areas closest to a town in Australia, Kananook Heritage House Premier Retreat is nestled at the bottom of the hill overlooking a field of green all year round, over the rich and fertile Mitchell River-flat country and other rchard below on a quiet historic Street on the outskirts of the town centre just minutes off the main highway with the township of Bairnsdale CBD just a few minutes from it’s front door.
Historic Picnic Point sits between the gentle bends of the Mitchell River and is positioned on a small spit of river flat land of the ancient old river, where you can look over to the rolling hills beyond. It is a photographers paradise, a natural environmental home to amazing birdlife and a wide variety of native animals which can be enjoyed as you explore the Mitchell River Walk or walk to the hilltop of the Picnic Point Reserve from the river-flats. Enjoy the rainbow lorikeets which expand in numbers and make a regular visit after January each year, or see a flying fox gliding through the air at dusk during the Summer sunset.
Take a picnic with you and enjoy a scenic lunch on Picnic Points hilltop Reserve or simply stroll into the township along the Mitchell River walk, or alternatively bring your bicycle to cycle along the banks of the riverside and have a coffee in the town before your return back home where you can plan and explore other great rail trail bike paths in the local area with stops at local breweries or wineries which are available all year round along the way.
The Gippsland Lakes offers sailing, boating and fishing in sheltered inland waterways free from rocks, reefs and tides. Even if you don't sail or have a boat licence you can hire a boat locally or book to go on a tour and explore these safe waters.
Alternately you can choose something more adventurous and take a scenic horse ride along the foothills of the start of the local high plains or experience some white water rafting on the Mitchell River.
Be spoilt for choice when prioritising the decision about which is your first choice to explore from the day trip menu, with the options of exploring naturally magic world class, ski fields, scenic high country state and national parks, local caves, beaches, lakes and waterways, or simply wine and dine at local eateries and wineries and visit exhibitions at local art galleries, art studios and makers stalls at local markets as well as fresh local food produce that are available direct in the region. Visit a variety of pop up markets and food stalls that are highlighted Events in East Gippsland each year.
There are plenty of art galleries and shops to explore in town too, if you feel like a day or two staying closer to home. Taking pride of place is the Krowathunkoolong Aboriginal Keeping Place Indigenous Art Gallery where the local art and history of the Gunai / Kurnai land of the first people can be explored as well as Bataluk Cultural Trail. You can even enjoy a dip in the local BARC heated saltwater pool with hot spa or watch a show or concert the BARC performing Arts Centre or book tickets for a feature concert at one of the local churches that permit great acoustic sound and with these amenities just a short 5 minute drive or 35 min walk along the riverbank to the busy CBD centre, it’s an ideal place to stay.
Kananook Heritage House Premier Retreat is a unique c1880’s property which has recently been rebuilt, renovated and rejuvenated for your stay at the end of the day.
