ABERCROMBIE HOUSE REVIEWS
The house has very interesting furniture but has dead animals skins. Other then that they can be suitable for animal lovers because of a cat named Wilson, a turtle called Henry/Hank, an unnamed tabby and many, many peacocks in the garden. Perfect for history lovers too! Sometimes, you can just have a look around the garden outside.
Loved walking through this beautiful family home. So much to view and the grounds were nice to walk around, checked out the peacocks and peahens too. Furniture artworks and fireplaces were amazing.
Brilliant piece of history and amazing house. All the outbuildings are also superb. If i lived locally would have looked at getting married there as it is stunning.

Chifley Home is a heritage building that served as the former residence of Prime Minister Ben Chifley and his wife, Elizabeth. Constructed between 1887 and 1891, it offers visitors an authentic glimpse into 1940s everyday life. The original collection of household furnishings, kitchenware, and personal belongings dates back to the Chifleys' initial occupancy in 1914. Comprising two rooms and a parlour, dining room, kitchenette, pantry, and a rear-accessed bathroom through an enclosed verandah—the house remains nearly unchanged since the Chifleys and Elizabeth Chifley's companion, Isabel Clark, inhabited it.

MISS TRAILL'S HOUSE REVIEWS
Went to Darkstories: Haunted immersive theatre show there and it was absolutely amazing so fantastic can't praise them enough 110/10. The house itself was so great to look though it was like a step back in time would definitely recommend a visit to this beautiful location and alot of old artifacts to look at.
A wonderful historic home to explore. Take part in a guided tour by the lovely volunteers who will walk you through each of the rooms while explaining its history and bring the home to life. A beautiful home set in the middle of Bathurst, highly recommended.
Lovely house and gardens and the special events, such as the traditional night before Christmas, are well worth attending.
