Yallum Park

Yallum Park Penola is a stunning two-story homestead located just eight kilometres west of Penola on Millicent Road.

Built in 1878-1880 for John Riddoch, it is considered the best-preserved Victorian House in Australia in its original condition.

The homestead features striking decorations from 1879, including original wallpapers, acid-etched and stained glass windows, Italian marble mantle pieces, gold leaf, antique furniture, and a number of extremely old pieces of glass, porcelain, silver, and brass.

In addition to its well-preserved architecture, Yallum Park is known for its breathtaking garden, established in 1880. The garden is planted with trees from all parts of the world.

While Yallum Park is a private farmhouse, it is open for public viewing by appointment only. Visitors are advised to call for tour times and make an appointment beforehand. Yallum Park is easily accessible by car, situated eight kilometres west of Penola on Millicent Road. It is approximately 130 kilometres from Adelaide and roughly 20 kilometres from Mount Gambier.
