Stay awhile

Step in to History

More than 150 years of stories. And still welcoming people through its doors.

A place to Stay A place to Talk

The Old Bank House in Avenel Victoria, is a historic country home offering character-filled heritage stay for families and couples.

Built in 1873, the former Bank of Victoria has been welcoming people through its doors for more that 150 years.

Today it offers a private country escape where original features, old gardens and layers of history meet the comforts of a relaxed weekend away.

Come to slow down, explore the region, sit by the fire and experience a little piece of Anvenels story for yourself.

The Old Bank House in Avenel is also where Lisa Hunt meets with clients for private one on one reflective conversations.

A quiet and confidential space to tell your story, think aloud, ask difficult questions and explore what might comes next.

These are not counselling or therapy, but thoughtful conversations shaped by Lisa’s professional experience, research and advocacy.
