About the host
Hosted by Lisa Laird
Hi, I'm Lisa! My husband and I are avid fans of historic buildings, especially in regional Victoria. We were absolutely thrilled to purchase the former National Bank of Australasia in Lancefield a few years ago and love learning about its history, finding photos from its heyday and sharing all of this with our guests. In addition to this very special property I also own and manage two coastal holiday properties on the Mornington Peninsula. I really enjoy creating holiday homes that are just how my own family likes them: fresh, stylish, comfortable, well supplied and easy to spend time in - I hope you enjoy this one too.
Why they chose this property
The Lancefield Branch was hugely appealing to us for its unique features such as beautiful ceilings, arched windows, imposing facade, and rambling country garden. There is always an interesting or cosy corner to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
The Lancefield Branch offers guests the chance to stay in one of Lancefield's prominent historic properties. This is boutique accommodation for guests seeking something a little bit special, a treat, or the perfect relaxation getaway. Located right on High St, you are within strolling distance of Lancefield's charms in any direction, whether it be dining, bookshops, homewares, or gifts. Enjoy the beauty of Lancefield's wide tree-lined streets, and gracious period homes. The farmers market (third Saturday of the month) sets up right out the front of The Lancefield Branch, full of delicious produce, plants, wines and foods almost right on your doorstep. Lancefield also offers a public outdoor pool, skate ramp, wonderful children's playground, and sports fields at Lancefield Park. All of this without even starting the car!
