Book Direct with the Owner at Martindale Hall with Kingaroy Accommodation in Mintaro, for all your Tourism Listing requirements.
Martindale Hall, built in 1879, is a Georgian style mansion built for Edmund Bowman who lived the princely life here until 1891. More recently, the Hall was used as the set of a girl's boarding school in the filming of the well-known Australian movie, Picnic at Hanging Rock. Built largely in Manoora freestone, the ornately moulded and carved stonework is a tribute to the tradesmen of the day who were brought from England especially for this purpose. The Italian Renaissance interior is highlighted in the stately main hall and vestibule, with a domed glass roof, parquetry floor and the marvellous T-shaped staircase rising to the overhanging gallery. The Hall is classified by the National and State Heritage Branch and the National Trust. Tours of the house are available by prior arrangement. Groups must be pre-booked.
