What to expect
You'll arrive for dinner at Eynesbury's on-site restaurant, where you have a $30 voucher per person to spend on food and drink from the menu. After eating, your guide assembles guests on the front porch as darkness settles. The tour then moves through the property's most atmospheric locations—the lake, stables, former servants' dwellings and other structures—as your guide reveals documented stories of the family's wealth, their involvement with spiritualists, and darker rumours of betrayal and death. Expect a mix of historical narrative and ghost lore, delivered outdoors across uneven heritage grounds.
