Ferry
House today
The collection of historic buildings
that comprise Ferry House today trace its history. The
main double storey Georgian wing was once the dining
room and pub below with the owners quarters above. The
Victorian verandahs and balcony were added later.
The present dining room and
Lagoon Cottage were the Brighton Hotel guest accommodation.
The kitchen and staff complex are 1920’s colonial
wood and iron style. Ferry Cottage is a remnant portion
of the shop and timber store, extended during the second
world war by wealthy shipowner Skipper Wenborne as he
waited for the return of his wife Grace who was interned
in France by the Nazis. Rose Cottage has been converted
and extended from the original servants quarters to
a quaint garden cottage.
Ferry House literally has the
lagoon at the edge of the garden. It is unique in that
its property boundary runs right into the water. 2 private
jetties give immediate watersport access. Boating, fishing,
sailing, water skiing are all on your doorstep.
