Como House and Garden

Como House and Garden is located in a corner of South Yarra, a residential area in Melbourne, on the grass on the south side of the Royal Botanic Garden. It is an ancient house left over from the colonial era. The two-storey building with a pure white exterior is particularly beautiful with its balconies and white balustrades. The Como House and Gardens were built in 1850. It was the residence of Rost, the ruler of Melbourne at that time. Since 1864, the Amitji family has lived here and passed it down from generation to generation. The house at that time was about 22 hectares, including the current Yarra Park, to the Yarra River. Until 1959, it was bought by the international tourism resource protection group and preserved and managed as a historical monument. Inside the Como House, there are dance studios, reception rooms, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, and children's rooms. The furniture, furnishings, toys, etc. in the room are kept as they were in the past, and the life of a wealthy family in the middle of the nineteenth century can be imagined. There are also separate kitchens, servants' rooms, and carriage houses at the back of Como's ancient house.
