About Talisker
Talisker is located in Merino, Western Victoria, 23km south of Casterton and 80km north of the coastal town of Portland. The homestead sits atop a large hill, and the viewing tower is visible for many kilometres around it.

The Victorian homestead (circa 1901) is a large U-shaped Edwardian home with 26 rooms. It features a unique viewing tower with expansive 360-degree views, elaborate plasterwork, colour leadlights, and handsome timber and marble mantles throughout the home. The original garden design is evident with rare Bunya Bunya pines, a large Oak, and a majestic Kurrajong tree surrounding the house.

What our guests have said

We had a wonder stay at Talisker Homestead for a special birthday celebration. A beautifully appointed home with lovely spaces for a group to be together or to find a space for some quiet time if you wish. We enjoyed lovely walks on the farm and were able to cook up a feast in the gorgeous kitchen. We especially liked the amount of crockery and glassware available and with 2 dishwasher you were always able to clean up in one go quickly. Kate was always so responsive to any question. Highly recommended.

Our family of 20 had the opportunity to stay at this magnificent historic site in January 2024. Talisker Homestead is ideal for a big group. The drive up to the home was breathtaking.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious & carefully crafted so that you are transported back in time without compromising the luxury feel of a holiday home.
The living spaces were cozy and ideal for the fam to gather around to play games, have a singalong to their favourite tunes and catch up. The dining area was regal and ideal for a big group. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious.
When you step outside you are greeted with endless fields of mother nature, from beautiful colours and scents of roses to wild flowers, shrubs to beautiful tall trees giving you shade. There's plenty of areas to play and for a group walk after a heavy meal enjoying the settings of animals in their natural habitat. Ideal spot for star gazing at night while enjoying a glass of your favourite wine.
Kate as a host was very attentive and polite and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. We will be definitely going back for another stay.
