The Regents Park

This is a beautiful and unique property that made a special family occasion extra special. We rambled through the amazing gardens, enjoyed tea and cake at the garden gazebo, nibbles in the gorgeous front room overlooking the gardens, played the historical piano and chatted in the formal lounge and played cards at the big dining table. Such a delight to enjoy such a historic mansion right in Maitland! Sarina was a lovely, helpful and non-imposing host. Good idea to bring some earplugs for the bats which were enjoying the garden too but a tad noisy at night from some of the bedrooms.

We stayed in the Gardeners Quarters and because of our late arrival Marc skilfully guided us to the door at night by phone. Although the room was small, it had all the facilities needed plus a nice modern bathroom which was much needed after flying all day. The following morning we discovered the small Juliet Balcony behind the French glass door and this opened out onto the swimming pool which was covered for winter. As others have described, the fantastic 5 acres of manicured gardens blew us away. We encountered Sarina (the owner) in the gardens and she related the story of the property and how it had been severely flooded recently. We would like to thank Sarina for her wonderful hospitality and kindness in allowing us to look thru the main mansion and rooms of her house and kitchen. WOW! This place is simply stunning and a 'must see' in Maitland. We loved every minute of our stay here and wish you all the best Sarina for your lovely chats. We hope your unfortunate car accident on our departure day has now been resolved. Thank You Adrian & Mary.
