Clover Cottage is in the heart of Berwick, Victoria, and its story dates back to the late 1800s. It began as a timber residence surrounded by open land. This cottage is recognised as an important part of Berwick’s heritage and represents the area’s early rural character.
In the 1950s, landscape consultant John Stevens and Frederick Tuckfield developed an impressive collection of flowers up to the 1970s. Many of these gardens and plants remain an important part of the heritage today. Here are the variety of colours of the Rhododendron.
This became known to generations of locals as Clover Cottage Restaurant. From the late 1970s until the end of 2016.
After several years away, it now reopened its doors in 2026.
Jack and I celebrated our 37th Wedding Anniversary in the outside seating area.
After lunch we walked around the estate and saw this covered area with stained-glass windows.
This, if I remember correctly, one of the staff said that they will be converting this to an Air Bnb.
… some places to sit
…and more fountains and sculptures.

If I was coming your way that looks like a perfect B & B, Teresa. It was 37 years for us this year too. Congratulations and thanks, darlin xx
Yay to both of us. Thanks Jo!
Happy Anniversary, Teresa! Your photos are lovely and captured some beautiful scenes, flowers, doors and food. This looks like a wonderful place to visit.
I went there a few weeks ago to do some outdoor sketching with friends that is why I discovered it. It is definitely a great place especially when the sun is out. Thanks Dan.
Congratulations! We used to visit the restaurant quite regularly and I recall they had a large camellia collection. Tuckfield’s having been tea merchants, hence the camellia connection. I’m so glad it has re opened.
Nice that you know its history. My Aussie friend all knew about it but I didn’t. So I was glad to discover it for myself. Thanks.
Many congratulations on your anniversary – what a wonderful place to celebrate it!
Thanks Sarah, it definitely was a great place.
Happy Anniversary. Lovely photos. And yes it is more fun linking to several challenges.
Another challenge within a challenge right?
