“This property holds a special place in Comboyne’s history as its first Police Station and lock-up and even delivered us our business name,” current owners and operators Peter and Anne-Marie told News Of The Area.

At the heart of the property lies Bond Cottage, a quaint two-bedroom structure named after Comboyne’s first resident police officer, Constable Walter Bond, who once served the local community from this very building.

Adjacent to it, the ‘Lock-Up’, once the original police holding cell, has been transformed into a beautiful open-plan gallery for wood and ceramic art.

This structure was lovingly restored by Peter and Anne-Marie, who meticulously dismantled and rebuilt it using the original timbers and repurposed materials from the Kendall Showground’s stables and grandstands.

“We have enjoyed researching its history and getting to know some of the lovely descendants of the Bond family,” Peter and Anne-Marie said.

While it is a hard decision to move on, Peter and Anne-Marie have a beautiful legacy to pass onto the next owners.

“We hope that a new owner will see the beauty in this unique place and want to create an even more special place for future generations,” they said.
