Cozy family holiday!

Absolutely wonderful property, amazing hosts! Upon arrival the amazing hosts already had the fires going so a very toasty warm house was an amazing surprise! The kids had lots fun feeding the animals and lots of space for relaxing with amazing views. The fruit trees were such an added bonus! Looking forward to returning again soon

Wonderful 'meet-in-the-middle' house that held our extended family and toddlers who loved the emus! We will definitely be booking this house again and the proximity to great food in Myrtleford was a real bonus. The house had lots of room although we would not recommend the sofa bed for more than 1 person.

Lovely rural stay.

Chris's lovely farm stay house is delightful. The house is a short drive from Myrtleford and in a very picturesque setting. It is nicely located to Yackandandah, Beechworth, Bright and Mt Buffalo.

Cute country cottage

Chris is the consummate host. Met us at the property and showed us where everything was. He had the fires lit and it was cosy and warm on arrival. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for relaxation. Easy to contact if needed. Thank you for your hospitality.

Fabulous family get away

We had a wonderful 4 nights in this beautiful and peaceful location. Our host was very accommodating including letting our kids help feed the animals which they loved. Our dog had lots of space to run around and we really enjoyed the alfresco dining spaces and the fire pit. We will definitely be back!

Nice host who had the fire going. Place was absolutely freezing the following days, unless we set the fire. Reverse cycle heater wasn’t crash hot, we think the filter needed changing as not much heat was coming out. Very grateful for the electric blankets on the beds.Kitchen needed a good deep clean.We enjoyed the fire pit one night. Was surprised it would cost and extra 20 to feed the emus and 25 a bag of extra wood.Not much area on the property to explore when it was a farm stay. Very picturesque area of Victoria to visit.
