Family get together for 21 elder people over 3 days. Loved the accommodation which catered for all our needs. All mod cons and areas for quiet or more active activity. Beautiful setting in lovely gardens and fantastic walks among wonderful early autumn leaves and majestic gums. Close to Healesville which has all types of food – boutique butchers, cafes, cake shops and cheese monger. We hired a bus to spend a day at some wineries and the Tarrawarra Museum of Art and loved the views as we drove from place to place.
Every one loved Glenlowren and recommend it to all.
