Peaceful country getaway
A quaint little cottage on a farm. Very well maintained, clean, cozy and comfortable, with every amenity. We had a very peaceful and relaxing weekend, enjoyed the scenery from the outdoor setting, and were greeted by very friendly pup regularly. The setting is beautiful, and we were well looked after!

Two nights of absolute bliss. The property is beautiful, my children loved running around looking at the animals. I found the stay to be very peaceful. The highlights were getting to meet the chickens, feed the alpacas and pick fruit from the trees. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we look forward to returning in the future. :)

Sheep & Butterflies, note photos
Entry is a short walk of perhaps 50m across lawn. Sheep & alpacas file past the fences a little distance from the cabin, close enough to be entertaining but not close enough to be disturbing. Three varieties of butterflies when I was there, tall trees are close to but not overhanging the cabin and outside deck. The small inside table has rounded bolts on the top, so anything A4 size or larger can't be laid flat. Plenty of room on the outside table on the deck though if you need to spread out, otherwise sit on the large rug in the lounge. Kitchenette is designed for cuppas and re-heating meals.

A Delightful Stay with a Pleasant Surprise
This was our best stay in Geelong so far. The host was very friendly and welcoming. We even had a lovely surprise by getting in close contact with the alpacas and the sheep. The kids definitely loved their experience and they asked when we could come back here next time. The house itself with its furnishings and everything was well supplied for the purpose of our stay. Every little touch within the house was well thought of. All in all, we highly recommend this home. It's a definitely 'nah-worry' stay for our family. :)

Amazing farm stay with great hosts
My wife and I had the most amazing time, the place is lovely, views amazing and the hosts are truly great people. We were lucky enough to be able to join the hosts to feed the alpacas and see the little baby alpacas which made my wife’s day. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great farm stay!

Relaxing retreat
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful, light filled little bungalow. The location was perfect for us as we were hoping to have a breath of fresh air after starting our week in the hustle and bustle of Melbourne. The whole family loved all of animals (especially the baby alpacas). Clare was a wonderful host and we would highly recommend for anyone wanting a relaxing escape.

Cozy country cabin
We stayed two nights and were impressed with the hospitality of the owners who gave us a tour of their farm, which was a hit with the kids. The cabin had everything we needed and was perfect for a short stay to break up a long drive between locales.

Lovely farm stay
My family of four, including a 4yo & 9yo, had a wonderful stay here. The hosts were super friendly and lovely to chat with. The bungalow was perfectly clean and so comfortable! The farm is lovely with sheep, alpaca and chickens. We were incredibly fortunate to see a wedge tailed eagle fly above the property! Location-wise, it’s a 30min drive to fabulous Torquay beach or roam further along the Great Ocean Rd and for supplies - just 20 mins to Waurn Ponds for everything you could need.

Excellant location.
Dec 2021 we needed to self quarantine for 72 hrs following our long haul flights from Ireland. This location was an excellant choice as we had complete solitude for the duratuon of our stay. Claire was extremely helpful offering to grocery shop for us but as our daughter in law brought out provisions from Geelong before we arrived, we didn't need Claire's help. We spent our time reading, walking the farm and resetting our body clock. A very comfortable property for a great retreat.
