Harry's is named after Harry Portelli who had a rabbit processing business here for 35 years from 1944 when the war was on. Originally the red brick front was built as a motor garage in the 1920's. Lots of Kyneton history here. The same property has the 1856 bluestone structure built by Caroline Chisholm as the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages when gold miners walked the 11 days from Hobson's Bay in Port Melbourne, up Mt Alexander Road in Essendon to the thriving Mount Alexander goldfields near Bendigo, going right past our front door when Mollison Street was the original Calder Highway. This old bluestone building is ear-marked for future unique visitor accommodation.
Harry's at Destination Kyneton was built in the Depression era of the 1930's and has been modernized inside and heavily insulated.
