Confirmed the accommodation for first three nights in Melbourne with Bluebell B&B, located 15km from Melbourne city in Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Dr. G Kosa, the host, is very kind to offer early check-in (if the room is not occupied the previous day) or allows us to leave our luggage with them when we begin our sight-seeing.
Rippon Lea is one of the last privately owned great 19th century suburban estates and one of the finest National Trust properties in Australia. Designed and built in 1868 in the Romanesque style, the mansion sits as the center piece of an original Victorian pleasure garden. The gardens are of international significance and include a grand Victorian fernery, a lake, an heritage orchard and a 19th century conservatory. The mansion is a mix of Victorian decoration from its first owners with the glamorous 1930s "Hollywood" influences of its last owner.
