The property was settled by brothers John and William McHaffie in 1842, as the first homestead on Phillip Island.
In 1923, Albert and Eleanor Sambell built the Arts and Crafts-style manor that stands today in place of the McHaffies’ homestead.
Mr Sambell went on to become the founder and first president of Phillip Island Shire Council, Victorian Collections records show.
