Greenmount Homestead

This elegant homestead is located a couple of kilometres from the highway and is set amid tropical gardens on top of a hill overlooking the surrounding sugar plantations.

A visit to the home gives you a rare insight into the lifestyle of a successful cattle grazier, in the late nineteenth century. Each room has been lovingly restored to its former condition and the furniture, even down to the large dining room with the individual place settings, is original.

All items in the homestead come from three generations of the Cook family whose contribution helped shape the cultural, heritage and economic future of the region. Tours are conducted by a living legacy to the past Gloria Arrow who was housekeeper for Tom and Dorothy Cook since she was 16 years old and remains on as caretaker.
