Bundoora Homestead Art Centre - Bundoora (VIC)

4 /5 Shannon Chen: Bundoora Homestead Art Centre is a wonderful destination that combines art and history. Although the house is not very large, every detail showcases the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the late 19th century. Features such as the wooden staircase, stained glass ceilings, ornate plaster ceiling decorations, and intricately carved railings make this building a cultural heritage site worth appreciating in detail. Additionally, the numerous paintings and artworks leave a lasting impression. However, it is somewhat regrettable that the maintenance and restoration of this building are not well managed. For example, the balcony railings, which are originally beautiful, have become weathered and have not been repainted in time. The balcony floor also has noticeable bird droppings and dust that have not been cleaned properly. If the building were regularly maintained, repainted, and kept clean, its charm would be even more pronounced. A historic building with such rich details deserves careful upkeep—not only to extend its lifespan but also to allow visitors to fully experience its beauty.

5 /5 Liz: This is a real Melbourne treasure. A welcoming place, plenty of free parking. Disabled access was superb. There was a variety of art to look at, and even the building itself … totally charming. We had lunch at the cafe – there was a limited selection, but what was there was superb.

5 /5 Anthony Watts: Despite having previously lived in the area, Id never visited this architectural gem and interesting art exhibition. Well worth it. The Cafe is very good. Great service.

4 /5 Dale Thomas: A very interesting building housing interesting art. I loved the art quilts and the early colonial pottery on display. Fabulous ceilings and stained glass windows. Loved the early ventilation system in the form gets off the rooms and the internal staircase. Set in a park like garden with some very old sacred trees. The cafe had a great menu and great coffee. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. A lovely afternoon.

5 /5 susan bell: Fabulous day. Lots of carparking. Cafe staff really nice. Coffee/toasted vegetable ciabatta and scones perfect. Real cream!! Great to walk around and see latest art displays. Vibrant and fun, not classic. Lift available. Gardens simple, small, reflective of era the Homestead was built. Will go back.
