our
years of caring renovation has restored this beautiful
1900 House to it's former glory. Before 1997 Broken Hill Manor
was the Country Home of John Pickard and Frank Provo, 2 playwrights
from the 40's and 50's credited with writing the first radio
soap opera, "Young Doctor Malone". Today Broken Hill Manor
beckons you to experience its many charms. Every room has
views to the tree surrounded gardens and if you listen closely
around midnight, you can hear absolutely nothing - that's
tranquil. If a special break away is what you need, come and
experience a different life at Broken Hill Manor.
Your Hosts Gaetan and
Mike will welcome you to one of 8 rooms, each decorated
in the genre of a famous Operatic Heroine. Gaetan a born New
Englander, Architect and ex-Oratorio Society singer at Carnegie
Hall likes to spend the occasional moment over a glass of
wine with guests talking about the house, your house - any
house, as long as it includes decorating, or a renovation
story. In his spare time Gaetan also likes to garden. Mike
is more likely to be found schmoozing at the breakfast table,
once the cooking's all done, chatting about places like Peru,
Egypt or Russia - he's been to over 50 countries. Although
born in England, Mike's a New Englander at heart. Mike likes
to pilot single engine airplanes. Between them Gaetan and
Mike speak English, French, German, Spanish, some Arabic and
more than a little Russian.
Breakfast is served
between 9:00am and 10:00am, it always features in season fruits,
juices and of course lots of coffee, tea etc. Each Sunday
one of the 3 of the house specialties are served, Waffles,
Cinnamon Pancakes or English Bread Pudding. On other days
the menu changes although it's always a cooked breakfast -
just to get you off on the right foot. For summer the terrace,
or more intimately the gallery, make perfect morning feast
locations . In the cooler months, the dining room, or again
the gallery, are ideal settings. Broken Hill Manor tries to
accommodate guests with special dietary needs also - just
highlight this when making a reservation.
