Who doesn’t love the escapism that comes with TV shows – especially regal and period dramas?
Every time we watch a new series that’s set hundreds of years ago, be it Bridgerton, Mary & George, or The Gilded Age, we can’t help but wish we could be swept up in the magic of the past – especially in a castle or mansion of our own.
Netflix Australia has recently announced that an exclusive Bridgerton experience is heading to Bowral, NSW in late April. Netflix will be joining forces with local businesses from 16 to 23 April to bring the magic of Bridgerton right to our doorstep. Plus, lucky fans will also be given the opportunity to watch the first episode of season three before its worldwide premiere.
If you won’t be able to attend the event in Bowral, don’t worry. To help you fantasise about living in the world of Bridgerton, we’ve rounded up a list of the best and most beautiful historical accommodations around Australia where your regency dreams can become a reality.
There are countless locations right on our doorstep in Australia (think chateaus, castles and mansions) that can transport you back to the 19th century through their blend of historical charm and contemporary convenience.
Immerse yourself in the luxury, romance, and glamour of the 1800s at these incredible locations.
