Christmas holiday December 2024 7 night stay

On arrival we were greeted by our wonderful host Chris who shared his wealth of information about the area. The house was perfect for our stay with family. Very clean,tidy, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed and more. The children were delighted when Chis arrived the next morning to feed the emus goats and chooks. We enjoyed breakfast,lunch and dinner on the lovely paved covered outdoor dining area. Across the road we enjoyed splashing in the creek with the children and 3 year old labrador- all waterbabies.Lovely stay. Thanks Chris and family.

Weekend Away

We had a family/friend group of 8 plus 2 dogs. We had been late for checking due to the lomg drive but the host (Chris) had the house warm and cozy when we arrived. We went to the ghost tour at the beechworth asylum and had a great day in town on Saturday. Plenty to do and see. Two nights was not long enough. Everyone enjoyed the house and the animals, even the dogs had a great time. Would book agaim but next time a few more nights. Relax and Recharge.

Farm stay between Beechworth and Myrtleford

Great position to do the sight seeing of these towns. We were busy with walks, lookouts, shopping and trying new foods and drinks. Lovely cosy and warm place. Quiet amongst the animals.

One night stopover on drive to Melbourne from Canberra

We had a nice time here, and the kids loved the farm animals. Chris was a nice host and was good with the kids. The house and appliances are long in the tooth but it is cosey and warm. The town was a bit of letdown though in terms of variety of restaurants etc. Make sure you bring your own supplies.

We had a wonderful 4 nights in this beautiful and peaceful location. Our host was very accommodating including letting our kids help feed the animals which they loved.

Loved the many friendly animals (emus & goats). Super comfy & warm night's sleep and the fresh garden produce selected was a great breaky addition. For us the booking was over nested accommodation providers (Xperia, AirB&B, and Vrbo) which made comms a little tedious at first.

happy stay

all of my family and friends enjoyed the house so much. The hosts are very nice and welcoming. They showed us around the house and the farm at the backyard. The kids love the farm animals. They gave us fresh sweet chestnuts when we left. The house is so clean and the interior is nicely designed and felt home. Highly recommend
