Magnolia Mansfield

The Magnolia tree in the courtyard hides no secrets of the restaurants namesake, it has just turned 150 years old, coming here by boat from England with four other Magnolia Grandiflora’s in 1864. The actual building was constructed in 1907 and has been home to several Mansfield families over the years. In the early 1980’s it became a well known restaurant (known at the time as The Magnolia Tree). In the mid 1990’s after being closed for several years, it became a Bed & Breakfast, and Restaurant after extensive renovations. It again changed hands in 2001 with new owners, Kim and Christian Bergmoser who operated for nine years as a Restaurant, Bed & Breakfast, Function Venue and Caterer. After selling in 2010, and having a well earned ‘holiday’, one year later they found themselves buying back The Magnolia which they then ran as a Bed & Breakfast, Function Venue, and Caterer for another two years.

Now it is Tracie & Travis Boltong who have taken on the historic location and aim to keep its tradition of being Mansfield’s most premier dining destination and a warm, welcoming place to stay for people from out of town.
