A very special break

We were travelling to attend my son's wedding and were treated to the beauty and convenience of this Lancefield property for a "home base." Highly recommend, and we were sorry to have to leave. Thank you from all of us.

Amazing property right in the middle of town!

The atmosphere of the old bank is stunning, the entire family really enjoyed the property and being walking distance from everything in town made the entire stay an absolute joy. Lisa was also very accommodating and quick to help where ever she could!

BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE.

Loved this accomodation from the moment we walked in. This might be the first place I’ve stayed that looked even better in person than in the listed photos. We had a wonderful stay, thank you so much <3

This place IS AMAZING

This place is pure luxury with history! We loved this house and it's character. Outdoor bath a treat. House has everything you need. Child friendly (front and back year enclosed, toy chest etc). We had such a fantastic time we requested to stay another evening at short notice and Lisa quickly communicated back to us. Divine art on all of the walls. Highly recommended.

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!
