Lovely big living room, comfy big bed, kitchen OK, road noise annoying, the place is cute but a bit tired. There were three of us so we enjoyed having plenty room. Overall quite OK but maybe a bit pricey for three people, might be better value for larger group.

Excellent stay at the quiet countryside home. Chris was a great host. We loved the mature gardens, bbq, farm animals and open spaces. The home had all the amenities to give us a comfortable stay. A perfect location to enjoy hikes, walks and Myrtleford bakeries. Would hope to stay again.

Cozy family holiday!

Absolutely wonderful property, amazing hosts! Upon arrival the amazing hosts already had the fires going so a very toasty warm house was an amazing surprise! The kids had lots fun feeding the animals and lots of space for relaxing with amazing views. The fruit trees were such an added bonus! Looking forward to returning again soon

Lovely rural stay.

Chris's lovely farm stay house is delightful. The house is a short drive from Myrtleford and in a very picturesque setting. It is nicely located to Yackandandah, Beechworth, Bright and Mt Buffalo.

Wonderful 'meet-in-the-middle' house that held our extended family and toddlers who loved the emus! We will definitely be booking this house again and the proximity to great food in Myrtleford was a real bonus. The house had lots of room although we would not recommend the sofa bed for more than 1 person.

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. Our dog had lots of space to run around and we really enjoyed the alfresco dining spaces and the fire pit. We will definitely be back!

A great rest and relax farm house to stay. Having a lovely wood fire in the lounge as we played board games and cards at night and in the cool mornings. The firepit was great for the cool nights and toasting marshallows!Kids found it a bit hard with inconsistent wifi. However; they got used to not having it with the horses across the road and the emus to go and watch. Pubs and Restaurants are only a 7min drive away. Chris was easy to get in touch with if we needed. Our 2x small dogs enjoyed their stay with us and settled in well. Fully fenced area. It is by a main road, so just make sure the gate is shut to keep your furr babies or small children safe. We would return.
