The guest room has 1 queen bed, 1 double bed, 1 double sofa bed and 1 single sofa bed with a private bathroom attached to the main room. There is a split system air-conditioner for heating and cooling in the room. The small kitchenette contains a bar fridge, microwave, small dishwasher, toaster and kettle. A portacot and kids high chair is available on request. There is a BBQ on the balcony for if guests would like to cook their own lunch or dinner. The large room also has a dining table and a lounge area with a TV.
Guests have their own living area with a balcony which has magnificent view over the Dandenongs with not another house in sight. Guests can watch the horses in there paddock down below them, the sunsets on that side of the property which is also a highlight for our guests.
Their farm is a working bird farm with 160 pairs of pure and rare parrots which they incubate and hand rear the eggs/babies that require feeding every two hours. They often have a lot of baby animals too.
Christine loves to cook and entertain for guests. Lunches or dinners can be arranged for $50 per adult/per meal and $25 per child/per meal (3-12 years old). Lunches and dinners are 3 course meals and there is always plenty of food. Christine can also do a High Tea which is $25 per adult and $15 per child (includes milkshake for kids). We could also organise a picnic lunch so guests can enjoy a trip to Emerald Lake and see Puffing Billy or go fishing at the trout farm (to be arranged before visit).

Summary: We were just after a place to stay in the hills for a nearby appointment, but got so much more. Chris and Phil were brilliant hosts, from the lovely roast meal to a full tour of the property. Highly recommend - we will be going back.

Summary: Chris and Phil were so welcoming and accommodating, we all enjoyed our stay at Maccesfield. So much fun for the whole family. Relaxing on the deck and admiring the picturesque view. Kids relished the chance to dance and chat with the birds, interact and feed the many varieties of farm animals, have snuggles with the guinea pigs and observe (from the 1.5m of course) the reptiles. The opportunity to have a night or two off cooking, but not only that be presented with a generous spread of beautifully cooked food. The dinner was delicious as was the Devonshire tea. We enjoyed many local activities including walks, spotting camels and alpacas and trout finishing was a highlight too. (The staff there are fantastic as well) Thank you both for welcoming us into your home.
