• Australian • Rowville

The magnificent Stamford Park Homestead was built in 1882 by the entrepreneurial Row family as a Gentleman’s Residence. After many years of neglect, the homestead and six acres of grounds have been aesthetically restored, allowing it to once again become the ‘Jewel in Knox City’. Stamford Parks current custodians, have waved their ‘whimsical’ magic of both design and true hospitality over the beautiful estate and it is now a stunning property serving the public for what it was originally intended – a place to gather, meet, entertain and unwind.

The food and service was fantastic could not fault the staff or the food, but omg the music! I believe it was the owner and his girlfriend it was horrendous WAY TO LOUD! I actually had to complain as I couldn’t hear myself think and he decided to take a break we ate quick cause I didn’t want to hear him start again.
