So interesting. - This tour was a complete surprise! Never having read a Colleen McCulloch book, I tagged along with my wife who was very keen. It turned out to be a most interesting morning, with an interesting drive out to the property and then a most personal and informative look into the house and the life of the famous writer.
Our guide, Rebecca, having worked with McCulloch for many years, was a veritable mine of information and the exquisite furnishings, art and artefacts in the house was incredible.
Definitely recommend this tour!

Insights into the life of a celebrated literary figure. - A real thrill to visit the home of an author whose books you've read and largely enjoyed.
Guided by her long time housekeeper who gave all relevant facts about Colleen but also related many little anecdotes about her that much more fully filled out the life she led and revealed quite a lot about her character.
The house itself is kept as it was during her occupation and many of the pieces of art, sculpture and furnishing are of great interest in their own right.
Absolutely worth experiencing.

Excellent - Beautiful place to go. After reading the negative reviews I was pleasantly surprised. Very expensive items of extremely high value are here. I enjoyed listening to the housekeeper and had an enjoyable time looking over all the paintings and stain glass windows. Think Col was able to purchase these items many years ago. The fernery is very relaxing. Didn’t purchase a book as no cash. Was driven back to our accommodation.

Beautiful home - Being a fan of Colleen’s writing I enjoyed this tour. Her home is amazing and you can see why she could write in peace there. The library was to die for and the black bathroom, well you just had to be there . Not a trip to take children on , too many valuable things that little hands many touch

Enjoyable - A good experience and very enlightening to see where so many great books were written by this amazing lady. Rebecca, Colleen and Ric's housekeeper, shared many interesting anecdotes about Colleen and the beautiful and unusual decor of the home.

Tour of Colleen's home - Lovely home in idyllic surrounds. Welcomed by Rebecca and shown through many rooms; so many pieces collected by Colleen over the years are on display. Absolutely loved the 'fernery' - would love to sit there & chat to Colleen with a cuppa !

Tour through Bunti Tours - It was great to look at Colleen's house but a bit expensive.
Would of liked to have had time to walk around the extensive gardens but tour time was limited.

No show. No refund as yet. I sent a message to baunti tours as I was not able to cancel the tour weeks before on your si - I canceled the tour but have not received my refund as yet. The site would not allow me to cancel it so I contacted Baunti tours in Norfolk Island as that was the email address you had on your website.
Someone from Viator needs to call me regarding this tour and not having a refund as yet please as it appears I cannot contact you.
