👩‍🌾 🫏Nov/Dec Special: Early Check-In and late Check-Out FARM STAY!! GEMBROOK

Only 1 3/4 hours drive from Melbourne CBD, half way between Gembrook and Launching Place, your fully self-contained private 2BR cottage nestled between bush and green fields awaits you. You are free to explore our 40 acres, meet our friendly sheep alpacas, chooks and cows. You can leave your busy city life behind you. Spend the days bush walking, riding Puffing Billy, grape grazing at local wineries, cycling, even snow playing in winter.. then relax and unwind in the spa bath, cook a BBQ whilst watching a spectacular sunset over the ranges. ( NB: Many accommodation places have several cottages-we only have ONE! -so peace and
privacy is guaranteed)
Once the stars are out in the clear country sky, the wildlife is active. Wombats, koalas, lyrebirds, kangaroos and bandicoots are some of the animals you'll spot at Hoddles Hideaway. The birdlife is also abundant, no noise, no neighbours, just peace and quiet.


For the November/December Special, please note that it is subject to availability.

What a gorgeous house and property. Everything we could have wanted was supplied and it was beautifully clean. Airconditioning in both bedrooms and the living area made our stay super comfortable. Communication was amazing and the owner checked we were ok after a storm. Thank you so much.

We enjoyed our stay in the countryside. The location is stunning within both forested areas and farmland with a few cows, sheep and alpacas that are approachable and fun for our granddaughter to feed and pat. The views are beautiful and the house was comfortable with everything provided in two bedrooms. The birdlife is amazing and we watched a koala mother and baby in the trees behind the house. Magic!

We stayed here for a long weekend & loved it. House was clean & bathrooms were renovated. So much wildlife! We had a koala in a tree right outside the house, beautiful birds, adorable wombats plus the cows, chickens, sheep & llamas that we were given seeds & pellets to feed.
