Built in 1882, this former Bandon Grove schoolhouse welcomes large groups to discover a slice of Australian history with a dose of tranquillity. With some of the original features still on display – including soaring ceilings, sash windows and fireplaces – this heritage-listed home has plenty of charm. We especially like the terrace with a vine-covered and fairy-lit pergola ideal for alfresco meals. There's also a tennis court for private use. Though the bunk house sleeps eight guests with limited privacy, it's perfect for kids. And if you do need to stretch out a little more, there are always large living spaces and the back garden.

About Australia
From the untamed wilderness of the outback to mesmerising coastal waters teeming with luminous coral, some of the rarest natural phenomena around are native to Australia.
