I have spent many years travelling the world, through over 170 countries. Periodically (when home and time permitting), I invite guests into my home to see a collection of over 1,000 artefacts collected from all over the world. Guests are lead on a virtual trip around the world detailing the significance of many of the objects. Also being a professional pianist (having played piano all over the world), the night finishes with a live piano performance. Nearly all guests rate this experience as being the highlight of staying at Echuca Gardens. Your "second host" Jetta is an adorable, very friendly resident German Shepherd who will escort you to your rooms.
