Description

Immerse yourself in the history and luxury that make Como Melbournes most glamorous stately home. Built in 1847, Como House and Garden is an intriguing mix of Australian Regency and classic Italianate architecture. Como offers a glimpse into the privileged lifestyle of former owners, the Armytage family, who lived there for nearly a century. The Armytages became famous amongst Melbourne high society and equally famous for their many elegant dances, dinners and receptions. Those elegant dining and reception rooms are still furnished with Armytage family heirlooms and even the servants areas, kitchen and laundry have been preserved. The gardens at Como and the Stables Cafe are open Monday - Saturday 9am to 5pm and Sunday 10am to 5pm. House tours run on select dates.
