Flowerdale Estate

Flowerdale Estate A picturesque wedding, conference and wellness retreat venue with onsite dining and accommodation.
(182)

Flowerdale Estate is one of Victoria’s most historic farm properties, with the original stone cottage built in 1842 providing a unique setting for our guests, in addition to the later Victorian homestead and its Edwardian extensions. In more recent years, the homestead has been developed into a high performing executive conference retreat and training centre as well as hosting many special events,

large and small, such as weddings, birthdays and reunions. Flowerdale Estate is situated approximately 100kms or 70mins drive north of Melbourne CBD, and one hour from Melbourne Airport. We sit in close proximity to the Yarra Valley, Victorias magnificent High Country and the Goulburn River Valley tourist and wine regions. For this very reason, Flowerdale Estate is a popular B&B option for weekend escapes.

After nearly 7 years of hedging, ceremony set ups, gardening, fire lighting, animal feeding so much more, it’s time to say farewell to the wonderful Jay.

Jay started working at the Estate at 16 years old, and it has been a true joy and honour to have him work with us over the years. He is now off to Townsville to obtain his pilot’s licence, and while we are sorry to see him go, we couldn’t be more proud of him!

Wishing you all the very best, Jay! You will be sorely missed, but we can’t wait to hear all about your adventures up north 👍🏼✨🌿

Thanks to for hosting our farewell drinks, too🍾

High Tea at Flowerdale Estate, VIC
Learn more: https://bit.ly/3MgyBrF

Once a month the team at Flowerdale Estate open their dining room to lovers of High Tea. It’s a country drive and outing that is absolutely delightful, and for this reviewer, our visit will be long remembered.

Flowerdale Estate is steeped in history, the original building, on the then 10,000 acre sheep farm, dates back to 1838. More buildings followed with the main homestead (where High Tea is hosted) being completed in 1842. Until its sale to the ANZ Bank in the 1980’s the property was a working farm – ANZ converted the extensive quarters and stables into their own conference and retreat facilities. In 2012 the property returned to family ownership and the current owners continue to run conferences and events during the week, opening to the public on weekends as both a dining venue and weekend retreat.

With a lovely garden to explore, a menagerie of farm animals and wildlife to take in – Flowerdale Estate is much more than a High Tea. And yet, don’t assume this hidden treasure doesn’t also pack a punch when it comes to memorable High Teas, we were pleasantly surprised to find that this kitchen is absolutely up there with the very best in Melbourne.

I am hard pressed to choose favourites from this menu as it was all so good… but the ones I am still dreaming about from the savoury selection are the tuna tartare and the egg sandwich. From the sweet selection it was all absolutely 💋👌 delicious.

It’s come to our attention that we have never formally introduced this handsome man. So, everyone - meet Stanley. He’s very similar to Albus, but goofier, larger & slightly more shy… except when there’s food nearby. 🥰✨

Our Story

Flowerdale Estate is one of Victoria’s most historic farm properties, with the original stone cottage built in 1838 and the 1842 Victorian homestead, with its Edwardian extensions, providing a unique setting in a picturesque and spectacular part of Australian countryside. In more recent years, the homestead has been developed into a high performing executive conference retreat and training centre as well as hosting many special events, large and small, such as weddings, birthdays and reunions. Flowerdale Estate is situated approximately 100kms north of Melbourne CBD, and just over one hour from Melbourne Airport. We sit in close proximity to the Yarra Valley, Victorias magnificent High Country and the Goulburn River Valley tourist and wine regions. For this very reason, Flowerdale Estate is a popular Bed & Breakfast option for relaxing weekend escapes.
