The National Trust will enter the accommodation sector when, for the first time in Victoria, it opens one of its properties for overnight stays.
The Trust’s Victorian CEO Simon Ambrose said tiny houses and eco glamping tents would be erected on the property, and guests would also stay in historic cottages. Ambrose said it would be the first time the National Trust of Victoria had offered an accommodation tourist product in Victoria, but not the last.He said the Trust had identified a number of its other properties to be developed for accommodation “in the near future”, which would provide the Trust with income and also serve in “activating significant heritage properties”.
Two boutique apartments in the former single gentleman’s quarters will offer “higher end” accommodation for couples, at an estimated $360 to $500 per night. Twelve glamping tents are also planned for the site, each for two to four guests, who will share a campfire and cooking facilities and pay between $160 and $270 per night.
