点评:We caught the 171 bus from the city and walked up to the house. Once there, we spent an hour wandering the garden with coffees from the cafe. We did the storybook trail (where I delighted in scenes from books that I loved as a child), strolled through the orchard, the rose garden and then sheltered beneath the banksia arbour once the raindrops opened. We then did the house tour with Alexis, who was a wonderful guide and storyteller. Her stories pulled us into the world of the Haywards, and the artists whose works were displayed throughout the house. We love stately homes, and have been through too many to count right through the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Australia and France. We both agree that Alexis's tour was first class and one of the tours we have enjoyed most of all. Thank you, Alexis, for this experience, which we highly recommend. At $20 per person this was excellent value and a highlight of our trip to South Australia. Our favourite room: the 50's bathroom. Loved it!
After the tour the rain had set in. We walked through the muddy trails back to the bus stop and were absolutely drenched, but that didn't dampen the experience for us. 5-star experience all round.
翻译:我们从市区搭乘171路公交车,步行前往那栋房子。到达后,我们在花园里漫步了一个小时,一边在咖啡馆喝咖啡。我们走了童话小径(我欣喜地看到了许多儿时喜爱的书中的场景),穿过果园和玫瑰园,雨停后,我们在班克木凉亭下乘凉。之后,我们跟随导游Alexis参观了房子,她是一位非常棒的导游兼故事讲述者。她的故事将我们带入了海沃德家族的世界,以及那些在房子里展出作品的艺术家们的世界。我们热爱庄园,参观过的庄园数不胜数,遍布英国、爱尔兰、德国、奥地利、澳大利亚和法国。我们一致认为Alexis的讲解一流,是我们最喜欢的旅行之一。感谢Alexis为我们带来如此美妙的体验,我们强烈推荐!每人20澳元,物超所值,是我们南澳之旅的一大亮点。我们最喜欢的房间:50年代风格的浴室。太喜欢了!
游览结束后,天开始下雨了。我们沿着泥泞的小路走回巴士站,浑身湿透,但这丝毫没有影响我们的体验。绝对是五星级的体验。
