Governor’s Lodge sits on land that was once part of an original 50 acre grant made to James Dawe, a flour miller, soon after the arrival of the Pitcairners in 1856. The land was sub divided and Herbert and Clara Bailey built their family homestead in the early 1900’s which has now been restored to serve as Bailey’s Restaurant – the iconic centrepiece of Governor’s Lodge. Construction of the Lodge commenced in 2001 and the common areas have received an extensive refurbishment throughout 2020. Renovations will continue throughout 2021, starting with external painting of all cabins.
