Schwerkolt Cottage & Museum Complex - Mitcham,VIC

5 /5 Tamara Slabon: Amazing!!! Anyone who knows me will tell you I love a good historical property & it did not disappoint. Having meant to visit for many years, I finally made it and it was worth the wait. So much time & money has clearly been invested in this amazing snippet of early Melbourne orcharding. Even the 18 year old enjoyed it! Just wonderful, thanks to all those involved, historical society, council etc, over so many years to get it to this point.

5 /5 Hamish Gavin: A hidden gem, one of the best councils in Melbourne Im guessing, as this is still free and not taken over by housing developments

4 /5 Clinton Arnall: A fabulous time machine. Not only the older pioneer exhibits, but household items from the 1930s onwards, some stuff that my grandparents had. Make sure you visit the museum section and not just the cottage and sheds. Theres a great local history section in addition to glimpses of life 100-200 years ago.

5 /5 Johan Tan: Very nice area with playground and BBQ area nearby. Very suitable for picnic. It is surrounded by trees and nature. Walking trails is so close for exercising. Can do hiking, jogging and cycling. Walking along the river or the creek is recommended.

5 /5 Zeph: Quaint, lovely historical site close to Costco. Theres a playground and open space nearby. Drop-by if youre on the Eastlink Trail.
