A TIMELESS AUSTRALIAN TREASURE — FORTUNA VILLA ✨

In September 1929, The Australian Home Beautiful featured Fortuna Villa in a beautiful article titled “Where History Has Been Made.”

Even then, Fortuna was a place of extraordinary beauty, elegance and history.

Inspired by George Lansell’s fascination with Italy and European grandeur, Fortuna became a remarkable expression of architectural artistry, cultural refinement and a love of beautiful surroundings. Its magnificent interiors, ornamental gardens, tranquil lakes and timeless details tell a story that has endured for generations.

Nearly 170 years after its earliest beginnings, Fortuna Villa remains a precious part of Australia’s architectural heritage. And today, we are proud to continue caring for this extraordinary estate, preserving its beauty and sharing its history with those who appreciate it.

And now, you have the opportunity to experience Fortuna for yourself. 🤍

Our remaining Open Days for 2026 are:

🍂 25 October — Spring Open Day

☀️ 13 December — Summer Open Day

Spend a memorable day at Fortuna Villa, discover its fascinating past on a guided tour, enjoy the beauty of the gardens and experience the timeless atmosphere of this remarkable home, accompanied by classical music.

Fortuna is open to visitors exclusively on selected Open Days for our Friends of Fortuna members.

Becoming a member is simple. Choose an Individual or Dual Membership through our website, and enjoy access to our Open Days, along with a unique Fortuna gift pack created especially for our members.

✨ Join us this spring or summer and become part of the continuing story of Fortuna Villa.

We look forward to welcoming you into the world of Fortuna — a place where history, beauty and friendship come together.

✨Thank you to all our wonderful Friends of Fortuna who celebrated Mother’s Day with us this past Sunday.

It was truly a beautiful day filled with elegance, music, laughter, meaningful conversations, and the quiet luxury of slowing down and simply enjoying the moment together.

Guests wandered through the gardens, immersed themselves in the beauty and history of Fortuna Villa, enjoyed private tours, live music in the garden, and the warm atmosphere that makes these gatherings so special.

There is something magical about seeing people relax, connect, and spend the entire day surrounded by beauty, nature, and like-minded company.

Thank you for being part of this experience and for helping create such a memorable day with us.

Our next Open Day will be on the 25th of October, and we already look forward to welcoming you back to Fortuna Villa.

At Fortuna Villa, every detail tells a story — and every restoration brings history back to life.

Our resident renderer, Matthew Harrison, is currently working with great care and craftsmanship to restore and repair some of the finest original features created by George Lansell. His dedication ensures that the beauty, character, and legacy of this remarkable place are preserved for generations to come.

It’s more than restoration — it’s a continuation of history, shaped by skilled hands and deep respect for the past.
