"Beleura was built for successful merchant James Butchart in 1863 as a very fine residence for a gentleman who spared no expense in creating a country seat on the edge of the bay away from Melbourne’s bustle. Today Beleura is a state heritage listed house museum that contains an intriguing collection of artworks, ephemera and furnishings belonging to composer John Tallis and the Tallis family. The gardens were influenced in the 20th C by designs by Edna Walling and architect Desbroe Annear. They include a sequence of garden rooms including a Japanese garden, garden pools, a formal rose garden, a Palm garden and courtyard filled with Japanese maple trees."
