Hans Heysen - The Cedars

I was recommended to visit that incredible place by my friend. From my point of view, autumn is the most perfect time to go there. Due to bushfires we could see only Heysen's daughter studio and half of the garden. But even though I was so impressed. We took a self-guided tour, because we arrived too late, before they closed. Nevertheless, it was a good decision as well. We were all alone and could enjoy the beauty of the place and had a small picnic. I definitely will come back to take a guided tour to see the rest and know more about his life and creations.

Soak up Australian history at this wonderful exhibit. Allow plenty of time as the tour is great. Then before you head off have a coffee and cake both were absolutely brilliant. Perfect end to a fascinating visit.

Beautiful experience, do the tour, do the Devonshire Scones and do the Artist walk. An amazing place, beautifully cared for. I heard everyone in my tour group say that they enjoyed their time at The Cedars.

What an amazing experience to visit the home and studio of Hans Heysen in the most beautiful garden. We joined a guided tour that started in the magnificent studio - all authentic paintings and artefacts of Heysen. Wonderful to stand so close to all these original works and to have everything explained in such detail by our guide. We then toured the magnificent house. Room after room left as though the family just stepped out for a minute. Unfortunately no photos were allowed inside - such a pity. It was fabulous to hear all about the family. The garden was ablaze with Autumn colours. We had lunch in the onsite cafe. Expensive and pretty basic but with a glorious view of the garden and house. The gift shop is stocked with fabulous art books and souvenirs.

Excellent, knowledgeable guides - highly recommend the guided tours - and amazing access to the life, times and works of Hans Heysen and his family.

Highly recommend doing the house and studios tour, the guide made it so interesting. The Cedars is a beautiful example of an early 20thC home, and lots of the artist's work on display. Then there's the wonderful gardens, bring a picnic! Allow a few hours if you can and do the artists walk too and see Heysen's gum trees. A wonderful day out.

A great experience, very interesting and inspiring. The entire property is very scenic and beautiful Had a great time

Worth the fully guided tour for the background info on all items. My only beef was that it was such a large group of equally interested visitors, that it was difficult to get into some of the smaller rooms all at the same time. Great examples of both Hans & Nora's works, meandering grounds and a lovely little Cafe.
