A Property with a Story:
The former Bower Bird Museum and Botanical Gardens was one of Heywood's most distinctive attractions, celebrating local pioneer history, memorabilia, curiosities and community heritage. Established by local resident Vanda Savill, the museum became renowned throughout south-west Victoria for its eclectic collection of historical artefacts, souvenirs, machinery and memorabilia.
Set amongst the former Savill Gardens, the property still evokes the spirit of this unique destination. Historical references note a variety of special attractions once located on the grounds, including Australia’s Smallest church from the 1850’s, extensive gardens and notable displays that contributed to its reputation as a destination unlike any other in the region.
