The Michelin Guide's review
Nestled in the Coast Range's thickly wooded foothills, this immense estate provides an insight into the lifestyle of a rich, businessman in the early 20C. The Georgian mansion, commissioned by William Bowers Bourn, bears witness to the latter's fondness for antiquities and objets d'art. The magnificent flower-decked French and Italianate gardens, which occupy 15 acres/6.6ha, successfully combine the formal with the natural.
