Australia definitely has its own unique style, minimalistic elegance that is often very close to nature. It is well loved by visitors to the great nation who enjoy time spent here in numerous ways as Australia is not only great for its brilliant natural environment but also for its vibrant and action packed culture. The grandeur of French design is rather different to that of the Australians, though it is seen in the nation as there is much appreciation here for the many other cultures of the world. This is why Labassa, a grand mansion and now a prominent tourist attraction, stands out from the rest, as its French inspired design shows off vast opulence and fine detail.
After years in construction Labassa was completed in the late 1800’s. It fundamentally shows off French Renaissance style, though traces of Germanic and Hellenistic inspiration too can be seen on close look at the details. The finest embossed wallpapers can be seen inside, and the timber used in the house is beautiful mahogany. On entering the house visitors will feel like they have been transported back in time and the rich furnishing and decorations in the house add to its splendor. Though it was originally built before the current design reflects the works of architect John Augustus Bernard Koch when he designed the house for millionaire Alexander Robertson to be used for social gatherings. Today it is a property belonging to the national trust.
It is breathtakingly beautiful from the outside, with large columns, and panels made from Italian marble, a sight loved by all who see it. Though it can be booked for weddings and photo shoots the house is open to the public for visiting on the third Sunday of each month except December. If dates of a vacation in Australia coincide with this visitors must take the opportunity to stop over at this grand location. Guides are available to ensure that visitors gain as much as possible from the visit, as there is much to see at the beautiful mansion.
If visitors enjoy their Melbourne hotels as beautiful, but showing off more modern design a great choice is The Langham Melbourne. Brilliant service and comfortable setting go hand in hand at this Melbourne accommodation, which ensures that guests will have a pleasant stay.
