Tucked centrally in a quiet horse lane, above the old town at the Port bakery site - with the famous Augustus Gelatery opening below this summer - enjoy leafy views from each bedroom window.
A beautiful timber-laden, 2 bedroom stable conversion, originally occupied by town mayor & auctioneer, Caleb Vines following
previous use by town founder, Henry Hopwood. The apartment was purchased in 2023 by man of the axe, Barry Donchi and launched by his daughter and son in law in 2024.
On the site of “The New Road Inn” Echuca’s very first hotel in the pioneering days of 1853, Hopwood’s crude timber slabs, dirt floor and bark roof inn fronted the main road leading south from Melbourne, toward his Murray punt, with a slab and pisé stable facing High St, on our site. Later Jo James built his “wood house,” here which evolved into W.W. Moore’s brick store.
This open plan, warehouse style apartment features an earthy kitchen, cream suede lounge setting and Smart TV area, square dining table, light filled rooms with high ceilings, patina halls, a private laundry, toilet and bathroom with shower over full sized bath, Lovely vintage decor, curios, old books, pods and soft drapes make for cosy nights in for couples, friends or families.
With laneways connecting you to both sides of the paddlesteamer esplanade, the shops and eateries on High St are right under your nose.
Stroll up the private redbrick & wood stairwell to overlook the old colonial bank and Port of Echuca’s stately architecture which sit between the two rivers on Hopwood Lane.
The building is adjacent to The Gin Distillery and three restaurants and seconds walk to the Echuca Chocolate Company, Foundry Art Space, Endota Spa, Murray River Paddlesteamers, bush trails, handsome boutiques, bakeries, bars, cafes, parlours, light works and salons.
