In historic Church Street, Maitland’s National Trust properties, Grossmann and Brough Houses are mirror-imaged Victorian townhouses built in 1870 by business partners Samuel Owens and Isaac Beckett.
The two properties have had varied lives with Entcliffe, known for most of its life as Grossmann House, as a private residence for the Becketts, Maitland Girls High School until the mid-1960s, and now as a fully restored and furnished Victorian house museum.
Brough House was also a private residence for a number of years, a boarding house, a hostel for the schoolgirls, and Maitland Art Gallery, and now has renewed life as an area for displays and exhibitions. Catering can be arranged for smaller functions and house tours; the venue is suitable for smaller conferences; the house and garden are a perfect venue for boutique weddings.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
