Some locations need very little added to them.

Martindale Hall is available for selected commercial bookings, from fashion and editorial photography to film, television and special creative projects.

With its grand nineteenth-century interiors, original furnishings, sweeping staircase, distinctive rooms and surrounding estate, the Hall offers a setting that is difficult to replicate.

A location with scale, detail and a character entirely of its own.

Martindale Hall was, quite literally, built on the sheep’s back.

In the boom years of the 1870s and 1880s, the Bowman family prospered enormously through South Australia’s pastoral industry.

By 1883, the family owned 86,000 acres of land and held another 2.4 million acres under lease.

That wealth helped fund the construction of Martindale Hall — completed in 1880 as one of the grandest country houses of its kind in South Australia.

At the time, pastoral country could be described as a place where money might be “coined by the aid of sheep”.

Walk through Martindale today and that history is still visible in the scale of the house, its rooms, furnishings and surrounding estate.

A fitting story to revisit during Clare Valley Festival of the Lamb.

Today, we try to celebrate the legacy of the grand house through events and celebrations connected to its historical past.

Martindale Hall, Mintaro
Open Wednesday to Monday, 10am–4pm.

A little more to look for these school holidays.

Young visitors to Martindale Hall can pick up a Junior Detective Card and explore the house with a list of clues to find along the way.

A portrait. A fireplace. A bell or servant clue. Something made from metal. A pattern. And a few details that might otherwise go unnoticed.

It’s a simple way for children to slow down, look closely and discover the Hall for themselves.

Complete the challenge and children can also receive their Children's University Australasia passport stamp.

The Martindale Hall Junior Detective activity is included with general admission throughout the school holidays.

Martindale Hall, Mintaro
Open Wednesday to Monday, 10am–4pm.
Closed Tuesday.

**When did you last walk through Martindale Hall?**

For many people in the region, the answer might be years ago.

And that is reason enough to come back.

The first visit is often about the scale of the house. The staircase. The rooms. The sense of grandeur.

The next time, you start to notice the details.

The wallpaper.
The furniture.
The objects collected over a lifetime.
The way the light moves through the rooms at different times of year.

Martindale Hall rewards a second look.

If it has been a while, come back and see what you notice this time.

Martindale Hall, Mintaro
Open Wednesday to Monday, 10am–4pm.
Closed Tuesday.
