Como House and Garden Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Como House and Garden is located in a corner of South Yarra, a residential area in Melbourne, on the grass on the south side of the Royal Botanic Garden. It is an ancient house left over from the colonial era. The two-storey building with a pure white exterior is particularly beautiful with its balconies and white balustrades. The Como House and Gardens were built in 1850. It was the residence of Rost, the ruler of Melbourne at that time. Since 1864, the Amitji family has lived here and passed it down from generation to generation. The house at that time was about 22 hectares, including the current Yarra Park, to the Yarra River. Until 1959, it was bought by the international tourism resource protection group and preserved and managed as a historical monument. Inside the Como House, there are dance studios, reception rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, and children's rooms. The furniture, furnishings, toys, etc. in the room are kept as they were in the past, and the life of a wealthy family in the middle of the nineteenth century can be imagined. There are also separate kitchens, servants' rooms, and carriage houses at the back of Como's ancient house.

Very worth a visit, recommend everyone
European architectural style, go inside and feel the life of the upper class families in the middle of the nineteenth century. The layout is very delicate.
We were surprised to find that each room has its own special guide specifically telling you where you are. Every bedroom also has interesting stories, you can say graffiti, with diamond rings instead of paint painted out, it is estimated that the people who lived here before are very rich.
Come to the Botanical Garden not far away and see the beautiful natural landscape of flowers. A place for leisure.
The scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, the environment is good, suitable for everyone, many plants can be appreciated, the feeling of being close to nature is good.
