Werribee Park Mansion - Werribee South, Victoria

The mansion grounds is nice to explore with lots of open green fields. It's a calming place to just relax, jog and have morning walks.

It's quite immersive to explore the inside of the mansion and get a glimpse of its history. The rooms are a bit musty where open windows would help. Otherwise it is a unique and enjoyable place to experience a piece of Melbourne's history.

Beautiful few hours spent exploring the house and gardens. The gardens are free to get into and walk around. Lots of groups having picnics and plenty of grassy areas so you don’t feel like you’re all on top of each others. Great day to spend the day.

We had a wonderful morning at Werribee Park Mansion. The grounds are beautifully maintained with many great spots for a picnic. The mansion itself was well presented and a great snapshot of how life once was. We had coffee and cake at the cafe on exit which was great all staff we encountered were helpful and friendly.

It's a beautiful mansion with spectacular garden. It was built up in 18th century and still shining antique furnitures and everything. Stunning and breathtaking garden with all around greenery which I most love.

Not as new as in the filter; but it is a great place for a sunny day walk… some story about the Chirnside Family , first European settlement history and a bit of complex stories in the family… if mansion is your destination, google to the Rose Garden Car Park is better; also, the ShadowFax restaurant and Werribee zoo next to it are good to visit in one go.

Amazing. Like walking back in time. The park grounds are very well maintained. Well worth the visit. Take a picnic, some drinks a ball to throw around, enjoy.

Beautiful mansion. We’ll worth the visit. $11 entry fee per adult to to a self guided tour. Free entry to the gardens and the Rose Garden next door. There are also some farm buildings to wonder along too.
