Caretaker's Cottage on the grounds of Vaucluse House

ABOUT
The gardens & grounds at Vaucluse House are part of a grand romantic vision of landscape, preserved in Sydney’s best-surviving mid-1800s estate. The property is laid out to compliment a gothic revival house with one of the main characteristics of the estate being its careful division into functional and ornamental areas, such as the kitchen garden, paddocks, carriageway, and stables.
