Woodlands of Marburg

Built in 1890, yet only open to the public for the first time in 2002 following extensive renovations and restorations, Woodlands of Marburg is a plantation-style estate which belies an intriguing past.

During the last century, the property has developed a diverse and significant local history with unique characteristics from each period including a hand dug swimming pool, a Grotto (open-aired chapel) and even a small cemetery from its days as a seminary in World War II.

The most recent addition to the property is a small vineyard with its own label of boutique wines, as well as the relocation and restoration of the local townships' 19th Century chapel.
