Things to do
Tower Hill Nature Reserve
To see an arial drone video of Tower Hill House and the surrounding nature reserve, please click on the link on the homepage.
Though you can drive through, there is direct access to the reserve from our garden. The Tower Hill Nature Reserve is nestled inside an extinct volcano and is a beautiful haven for all sorts of wildlife.
Tower Hill is also great for bushwalking and picnics (BBQs and facilities provided). Guided day or night tours can be booked at the Tower Hill Natural History Centre (T ), which is open daily.
Tower Hill was created some 25,000 years ago in a violent volcanic eruption. The force of the blast created a funnel shaped crater, which was later filled by a lake and island.
On a walk you could well see possums, echidnas, cape barren geese and wedge-tailed eagles (Australia's largest bird of prey). Keen twitchers might also spot chestnut teal, musk duck and spoonbills from the boardwalks and bird hide. Eagles often soar at dusk.
There are numerous activities and events throughout the year in both Port Fairy and nearby Warrnambool - Including the well known Port Fairy Folk Festival... boat trips, beach walks, golf, shopping, restaurants and great food!
The property was very clean on arrival, and the rooms were spacious, with a great country kitchen. We had superb views of the ocean in the living room! Our labrador dog had a great outside fenced space to play while we were out sight seeing. We ventured into the nature reserve that sits behind the property. Fantastic views of Tower Hill lakes, at sunset we had friendly encounters with kangaroos, rabbits, foxes and many bird species. Our host Richard was very kind and provided much useful local information to make the most of our 5 night stay. Would definitely recommend this superb country escape!
We really enjoyed our stay at Tower Hill House. The house is a beautiful old farmhouse which is large and open and has a great aspect overlooking the ocean in the distance. It has big verandahs, it had an enclosed area for our dog and the beds were large and comfortable. It was very well equipped and clean and Richard was very helpful and quick with communication.
Richard was great, contacting me days in advance of our stay, to give me instructions for getting to the house; he also very kindly provided some local beach visit and restaurant recommendations. Killarney Beach is just a 10min drive and Port Fairy 15min. The house itself is a beautiful piece of history, being a 110 year old home! The house is also very close to the fascinating Tower Hill precinct, with some great trails down in the crater of the extinct volcano.
Extremely comfortable, spacious, and well appointed, with everything you need and a warm and friendly host (who kept a respectful distance). A house for artists, photography buffs, and book lovers. Tower Hill is a magic site!
Wonderfully relaxing and restful time in a beautifully appointed house with a view to the ocean from the lounge room and another out over Tower Hill lake from the garden.
The Tower House was excellent. Spacious and warm with great views. Richard the host was very welcoming and gave us some excellent ideas for activities in the coming days. We loved staying there. Our small dog had fun with all the new wildlife smells and noises.
The house was spacious, comfortable and clean with everything we needed. Located in a convenient position about halfway between Warrnambool and Port Fairy. Also very good for our pooch as the back deck can be closed off with a gate to prevent your pet running off. We were made very welcome by Richard on arrival who gave us lots of good local info re things to see, places to eat and walks to do. A great base for an enjoyable and relaxing holiday!
