Good This residence is believed to have been constructed in 1919 for Archbishop Clune as a holiday retreat for himself and fellow priests. In the 1930s and 1940s it was used as a guest house for the more affluent members of the community. For example, in 1936 the wife of the Governor, Lady Mitchell stayed for a few days break. In 1934, the place was advertised as 'The only Rest Home for adults only. Excellent cuisine, every attention and cleanliness guaranteed.' The place is now a private residence and has been extensively adapted and added to.
