About this space

At the heart of a vast 1860s-era grazing estate in Western Victoria, the Longroom and Stables at Chatsworth House offer a richly textured and historically resonant setting for photography, film, and events. Built from timeless local bluestone and surrounded by red gum-dotted paddocks, these striking buildings are believed to have once serviced the famed Cobb & Co route—adding narrative depth to their already cinematic presence.

Set along the tranquil banks of the Hopkins River and nestled into a peaceful, working landscape, the Longroom and Stables combine rustic authenticity with refined usability. The architecture features thick bluestone walls, generous proportions, and ambient natural light, making it a powerful backdrop for both atmospheric shoots and large-scale productions. From fashion and editorial work to commercial and period film, the site lends itself to a wide range of creative interpretations.

Inside, the longroom has been reimagined as a flexible events and content space, while still retaining the patina and character of its origins. The adjoining stables provide unique visual structure and texture, with original materials and timeless rural charm. On-site accommodation is available by request, making the location suitable for multi-day shoots or productions with cast and crew.

The property’s broader setting—rolling hills, mature gums, and expansive skies—adds a sense of openness and scale, while remaining entirely self-contained. Horses can also be made available on request, offering an added layer of narrative or movement to your visuals.

Discounted rates apply when booked together with the neighbouring Chatsworth House – Homestead & Gardens, creating an extended shoot destination that offers both refined interiors and rugged exteriors within the same estate.

For creatives seeking authentic heritage, natural scale, and a location with its own lived-in story, the Longroom and Stables are a standout choice in Western Victoria.
