Our Welcome Guide

Did you know the name Montfort has been in Melinda’s family for generations? Named after her paternal grandmother's farm in Hamilton, Tasmania, in the 1800s. She moved to Morwell after marrying, in the early 1900’s and purchased land with her husband a grazier from the area. From the late 1950’s Melinda’s father operated Montfort, a dairy/beef farm situated between Morwell and Traralgon. (Although this farm has now been sold the newly opened bike/walking track between Morwell and Traralgon meanders through parts of the original farm and access to this track is right on Montfort Manor’s doorsteps).
