Summary: Charleson farm is magical! The hosts were Fantastic- super responsive and great communication before and during our stay. The house was beautifully presented and the property was so much fun to explore. Having the ponies just outside the window (they checked first with us if this was ok or we wanted them in the paddock) was so much fun for everyone. We loved the cows, goats and ponies and spotting the kangaroos too. The teens/ young adults loved a dip in the pool each night as the sun was setting. And the indoor fire was wonderful as the day was very chilly. We will certainly be booking in again to stay here.

Summary: Along with our 2 daughters, partners, 4 children and 4 dogs, we were joined by our son and grandson from California for a 5-day retreat.Always important to us was, and is, the wish/need to provide as much opportunity for contact-time between siblings and cousins …a family separated by the Pacific Ocean for 15 years. (Emails, Messages, and Messenger Calls are fine, but don’t cut the mustard!) The attention to detail at Charleson is remarkable and the owners need to be commended for it. There was never a kitchen gadget missing, knives were sharp, complementary coffee pods, herbs and spices were much appreciated, as was the delightful local sparkling Riesling etc. (Chilli tomato sauce yet to be savoured.) Too many to mention …the games cupboard, wet weather closet, snakebite/bushfire preparation, books and magazines. The leather-bound introductory folder was so comprehensive, educational (-re snake bites), and enjoyable (learning goats and ponies names and personalities). Except for mealtimes, the young ones happily occupied the games room pretty much all the time. Special attention must be made of the pool which young and adventurous set their clocks for 6.00am to watch stars slowly make way for glorious sunrises (and also sunsets) …and for the hardy ones at other times during the day …despite the rain! Our fire-pit night was another good opportunity for star gazing as we dodged occasional swirls of smoke.Strongly recommended for your next get-away.

Summary: Perfect location for a family get together. The house was beyond our expectations with ample room for 14 people. We made friends with the ponies and goats and the bush setting and sunsets were amazing. Highly recommend this property. Maria and John were great hosts with precise communication and updates.

Summary: Had a great stay at the farm! Communication with hosts was clear and we were provided with lots of info and ideas on what to do during our stay. Initially it states that the house is a 13 minute walk from lorne.. it was actually about a 40minute drive from lorne but had a great stay regardless of this. Really loved going up and visiting the goats and ponies as well! Thanks John and Maria
