Major returns
Ballintrae was commissioned by Major Arthur Haywood A'Beckett in 1898. Born into a wealthy English family, he served with the Antrim Artillery before settling in Australia, where he purchased 200 acres in 1895 - the land from which A'Beckett Road takes its name. Major A'Beckett went on to serve with the Australian Imperial Force at Gallipoli, returning home in 1919 with the rank of Major. His family carried a connection to one of Victoria's Chief Justices, and Ballintrae itself became known for its social life - garden parties, church fetes and gatherings that drew wealthy visitors out from Melbourne to the Bunyip countryside. More than a century on, Ballintrae still carries that history in its Baltic pine floors, high ornate ceilings and wide verandas - a house built for gathering then, and now.
Discover the Story →The Villa
Seven bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Space for the whole group.
ProLodge Ballintrae is booked as a single, private property - the whole house, gardens and grounds are yours for the length of your stay. Seven bedrooms plus a sitting room and library, three bathrooms, and generous living and dining spaces make it a genuine gathering place, not just somewhere to sleep.
Explore The Villa
Character in Every Detail
Ballintrae's polished Baltic pine floors, 12ft high ceilings, Victorian gutter cornicing, rosettes and ornate lighting speak to more than a century of history. Wide hallways, a grand entrance, leadlight bay windows and French doors leading out from many of the rooms carry that character through the whole house.
120 Years of Gardens
Ballintrae is surrounded by established heritage gardens with an Edna Walling influence - old-fashioned roses and cottage plants beneath oaks, elms, copper beech, lilly pilly, smoke bush, box, lilac, camellias, rhododendrons and fruit trees.
Play, Relax & Gather
The games room is built for a group - a pool table with a table tennis conversion, a poker table, a carrom board and a giant chess set. It's a natural gathering point for families and groups of every age.
Long Lunches. Open Skies. Country Views.
An 8-seater outdoor table provides a place to sit back and enjoy the scenic views across the property and horse paddocks. Between the outdoor entertaining deck, established gardens, wide verandas and outdoor fireplace, there is always somewhere to gather outside. Upon request, a 6 x 3m popup marquee, 20 tables and 40 chairs may be available for special occasions during your stay, subject to the property's house rules.
