Located in the historic town of Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, The Cedars is the iconic estate of renowned Australian artist Sir Hans Heysen (1877-1968) and his family, including accomplished artist daughter, Nora Heysen (1911-2003). The destination has an extraordinary breadth of offerings to visitors in art, history, architecture, gardens, locally made food and beverages, natural bushland and more. It sits in a unique position in Australian tourism and culture balancing the importance of preservation of the historic home, studios and gardens, its evolution as a modern destination and exhibition space, and its honouring of the significant native bushland property covering 60 hectares of Peramangk Country.
