Condition

Lewana is in good condition and has generally been well maintained as tourist accommodation by the current owners. The grounds and cottages are attractive and well maintained albeit with areas of intrusive invasions of some problematic and noxious weeds such as Blackberries. While the homestead house is in fair condition, and is well protected by the wrap around verandah, a number of general maintenance items require attention including the stumps and roof sheeting, some of which were being attended to in July 2011. The barn is in fair to poor condition with rusting roof sheeting and a number of other elements that are missing or require attention.
