The Altona Homestead in Melbourne is a must-visit destination for all history lovers. In fact, this is the oldest homestead nestled in the region – built back in 1842 on the designated areas of R.J. Logan Reserve.

Two of the first and most notable settlers of Altona, Alfred and Sarah, originally owned this beautiful property. Later, the Langhorne family revamped the homestead by using bluestone for the walls because of the frequent bush fire threats in the area.

After 1842, this beautiful and historic Homestead was the primary dwelling for the Langhorne family. Later in 1919, the Altona Homestead was bought by Cuming Smith. After the purchase, this property was renamed and used for business purposes and holiday housing. Today, the homestead is popular for its high tea and lantern ghost tours.

Visitors who love adventure will certainly love exploring this century-old property by taking a guided and exclusive night-time ghost tour.

The homestead’s unique setting and original furnishings are worth exploring by taking a tour. You’ll love this unique, one-of-a-kind homestead – the Altona Homestead is just a 15-minute drive from the city.

    • Hi Sue,

      The Ghost Tour does not include hotel pick up or drop off.

      If using public transport, catch a train from Flinders Street Station on the Williamstown line. Get off at Newport Station and transfer to the Altona Station via the Werribee line. The Altona Station is one block north of the Altona Homestead.

      Regards,
      Jess
