Originally developed in the 1970’s by the Castricum and Bakkum families, Casbak Alpine Units offered a level of luxury, self-contained accommodation unseen in Harrietville for its time.
After a renovation of over 3 years, Bomen was established. The complex has been completely updated, creating a fusion of its mid-century aesthetic with contemporary luxe appointments, all set within magnificent gardens and grounds. Special thought has been given to the many beautiful common areas at Bomen which provide differing spaces to gather.
Offering a level of luxury, self-contained accommodation unseen in Harrietville for its time, Casbak Alpine Units was originally developed in the 1970’s by the Castricum and Bakkum families.
A chance encounter during a visit to Harrietville in 2020 led to the purchase of the property by the current owners, Monique and Stephen Harris. Seeing the potential to develop the site into a luxury, design-oriented accommodation complex in a truly glorious setting, the deal was done.
Guided by Architect, Larry Weston, a renovation of over 3 years was undertaken. In a nod to the original families who are still resident in the village, the property was rebranded upon the completion of renovations – Bomen has two Dutch meanings, both somewhat emblematic (1) Trees and (2) To have a chat.

Centrally located, Bomen provides easy walking access to everything Harrietville village offers. If you wish to venture further, Bomen is the ideal base for the many activities that Alpine Victoria offers.
In 2024, Dylan Hisco joined the team to manage the property and business. Dylan has strong connections to Harrietville and is always delighted to share his knowledge and love for this part of the world.
