Description:Managed by Accor Vacation Club, Grand Mercure Basildene Manor blends old-world charm with contemporary comfort. The property is set in manicured gardens in the Margaret River wine region. The property features 19 rooms and suites close to wineries, restaurants, cafes and recreational activities. Basildene was built in 1912 by Percy and his wife Margaret (Brockman) for his family. Inspired by the beautiful and unique natural materials abounding in Margaret River, he painstakingly built a residence that would stand as a beacon of grandeur against the surrounding Karri trees. The Manor is shaded at the front by a huge oak tree that was planted in approximately 1910 from an acorn acquired from the grounds of Buckingham Palace. Granite rocks were quarried on the property, and the finest was selected to build the magnificent walls, while inside, superbly finished local jarrah was used to fashion the staircases, balustrades, the floors and the majestic central gallery and main hall. The manor features spacious rooms and suites, fireside reading room, conservatory, pool, sun deck, tennis court, lakeside pergola and BBQ facilities.
