Construction began on The Customs House in 1863, taking around three years to complete. Designed by Mr. Francis Reynolds, the iconic building served the flourishing port of Port MacDonnell and is steeped in history.
Port MacDonnell is conveniently located a short drive from Mount Gambier, the leading city in the Limestone Coast region of southern South Australia. Midway between Melbourne and Adelaide, the region features dormant volcanic craters, extensive limestone caves, a vibrant economy and relaxed lifestyle in a Mediterranean climate.
