History of Belgenny

The functional buildings on the property are predominantly constructed of ironbark and represent Australia’s most complete and authentic Georgian farm complex. The buildings include stables, a blacksmith’s shop, creamery, smokehouse, slaughter house and the farm cottage where John Macarthur spent the last few years of his life.

The restored function room, the Granary, overlooks the Camden Park Estate and a token crop of 500 grapevines planted to commemorate the first commercial vineyard and winery in Australia, which was established at Belgenny Farm in the early 19th century.

Almost two centuries old, it is a place where historical and modern day agricultural practices and expertise come together to provide a family attraction that promises to entertain and educate.

Today, the property not only offers visitors a glimpse into life on a working farm, but also provides serene surroundings which are an ideal venue for functions and events.
