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

Summary: We had an amazing 7 nights at the farm, the views over the valley were stunning, it was so peaceful, remote, quiet with stunning sun sets & sunrises. The heated small plunge pool was a hit as was the indoor & outdoor fire places. Sitting on the deck listening to nature & the sounds of cows & local birds was delightful as was seeing kangaroo's most days passing over the fields. They also privided all the kitchen pantry items yiu needed & we have booked the place again next year. Thanks John & Maria

Summary: Beautiful house in stunning setting. Clean and thoughtful touches from hosts. However, this house is around 40 minutes outside of Lorne, and the location map on website does not match the actual location. Despite this we had a wonderful stay and would recommend!

Summary: Driving in the driveway we were met with kangaroos, goats, horses and straight away we all started to unwind. Perfect for our extended family getaway. Everything was well thought out and well stocked. The plunge pool was divine. We would love to all stay again and next time longer! Thankyou.
