WELCOME TO HEYTESBURY HOUSE- Luxury Residence + Bed & Breakfast
It is our pleasure to bring to market a piece of Cobden’s rich history with Heytesbury House, a distinguished period residence that seamlessly blends timeless elegance with modern luxury. Constructed in 1904 as a 14-room private residence and surgery for Dr. R.G. Naylor, this property later served as a private hospital, affectionately known as ‘The Bungalow’.
Historical Significance
Heytesbury House has been a cornerstone of the Cobden community for over a century, evolving from a doctor’s residence to a private hospital, and now a luxurious multi-award-winning bed & breakfast with four separate suites, that has been featured on the ABC and TV show “Postcards”.
Elegant Architecture
The property boasts original period features, including high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, and intricate woodwork, all meticulously preserved to honour its heritage.
Expansive Grounds
Set on beautifully landscaped gardens, the property provides a tranquil setting for guests and owners alike.
Location
Situated in the heart of Cobden, known as the ‘Dairy Capital of the World’, Heytesbury House offers easy access to local attractions, including the Cobden Miniature Railway and Pioneer Park.
The town’s rich natural and colonial history, along with its integral role in the dairy industry, adds to the property’s appeal.
Close proximity to the Camperdown–Timboon Rail Trail, offering scenic walks or bike rides through picturesque landscapes.
Close to Cobden Lake, a serene spot for fishing, and picnics.
Tourism
Heytesbury House is not just a residence; it’s a thriving business with a strong reputation for excellence. Its proximity to major attractions, such as the Great Ocean Road and the Twelve Apostles, makes it a sought-after destination for tourists.
