Historic Chaffey Homestead

Educational

Historic Olivewood Estate Homestead was the original home of Canadian Charles Chaffey, who with his brothers, George and William, established the Renmark and Mildura irrigation colonies.

This State Heritage listed home was built from Murray pine logs using the drop slot system in 1889 and is set in spacious grounds with a spectacular palm lined drive. The homestead displays items of the period in their traditional settings.
