ABOUT CARRICK HILL
Carrick Hill is a significant South Australian cultural icon and tourism attraction. It comprises a major heritage building, being the previous home of Sir Edward and Lady Ursula Hayward, now an exquisite house museum displaying an internationally significant art and furniture collection.
The house sits within a 40 hectare estate, part landscaped and part native bushland; with original subsidiary buildings such as stables and eclectic sculptures scattered throughout the rambling grounds and gardens; The property is located close to the city of Adelaide, in the Adelaide foothills, with spectacular views stretching to Gulf St Vincent.
Carrick Hill is fortunate to be one of the few period homes in Australia to survive with its original contents almost completely intact and its grounds undiminished. The collection contains many significant architectural and decorative glass objects including items from Tiffany and Lalique.
In 2021 a new exhibition space – the Wall Gallery – was created in the loft of the main house as part of major renovations
