Duart'S STORY

Our
STORY
Duart, Gippsland’s Catering and Function Centre, occupies a Victorian homestead, built-in 1883 as the Maffra home of Hon Allan McLean, a local businessman who was to become Premier of Victoria in 1899 and in 1901, Gippsland’s first federal representative. The home was named
after Duart Castle in Scotland, the seat of the
Clan McLean.
Today Duart is still the charming homestead of yesteryear, renovated and converted into
reception rooms which tastefully enhance the
Victorian style building.
Since
1883
Duart Homestead has a reputation for quality food, friendly service and attention to detail. No matter what you have in mind, our sit-down or stand-up gourmet menu options can be adapted to suit your personal tastes and needs.
We offer the choice of a larger reception room – the large ballroom can seat up to 120 guests, a more intimate restaurant – with seating
up to 40 guests or outdoor catering for wedding receptions, conferences, business meetings and special occasions.
