About this property

Grandview retreat | Riverside Farmstay escape

Welcome to the Grandview Retreat — a private boutique farmstay escape at the Baw Baw River Retreat in beautiful Noojee, Victoria.

Perched above the surrounding paddocks and overlooking the peaceful countryside, the Grandview Retreat has become a favourite for couples, weekend escapes, special occasions, and relaxing nature-based getaways. Unwind in the outdoor spa beneath the stars, enjoy the warmth of the fire pit, and wake to the sounds of the Toorongo River and friendly farm animals nearby.

Located just minutes from the heart of Noojee and within easy reach of Mt Baw Baw, Toorongo Falls, and the iconic Noojee Trestle Bridge, Grandview combines modern comfort with a genuine country atmosphere.

The space features:
• Private outdoor spa area
• Large wraparound balcony with scenic rural views
• Fire pit for relaxing evenings outdoors
• Full kitchen with cooking essentials
• Comfortable lounge and dining space
• Fast Wi-Fi and smart TV
• Reverse-cycle heating and cooling
• Spacious bedrooms
• Self check-in with keypad access
• Dedicated parking

One of the most unique parts of the experience is the shared animal interaction area. Guests may see alpacas, sheep and chickens during their stay. Guests are welcome to enjoy the animal area and riverside spaces while respecting signage and supervising children.

The retreat is positioned within a dual-level building, with the separately hosted Riverside Retreat located below. Both retreats are fully self-contained with separate entrances and private outdoor spaces.

Things to enjoy nearby:
• Toorongo Falls
• Noojee Trestle Bridge
• Noojee Hotel
• Mount Baw Baw snow season activities
• Scenic walks, river exploring, fishing, and wildlife spotting

Important notes:
• This is a peaceful rural retreat — not a party property
• Quiet hours apply from 10pm–7am
• Children must be supervised around animals and river areas
• Natural outdoor areas may be uneven or slippery
• Total fire ban restrictions may affect outdoor fire use during summer months
• Pets are welcome but must be declared. Pets must not be allowed on the furniture and their bedding must be supplied. All pets must be supervised at all times and house trained if they are bought inside.

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a relaxing weekend in nature, or simply a break from the city, the Grandview Retreat offers a peaceful escape designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of the country.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We’re passionate about creating unique country escapes where guests can slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience a different pace of life. What started as a rural property project gradually evolved into Baw Baw River Retreat — a peaceful farmstay experience surrounded by rolling hills, river frontage, and friendly animals.

We love sharing the beauty of Noojee and the wider Baw Baw region with guests. Whether it’s relaxing in the spa under the stars, sitting by the fire pit, visiting Mt Baw Baw during snow season, or simply enjoying the sounds of the river and farm animals, we wanted to create a place that feels calm, memorable, and genuinely welcoming.

As hosts, we aim to give guests privacy while still being available if needed. We take pride in maintaining the property to a high standard and genuinely appreciate every guest who chooses to stay with us and support our growing small business.

Why they chose this property

We chose the Noojee area because it offers a rare mix of natural beauty, peace, and accessibility. Surrounded by forest, rivers, rolling hills, and mountain scenery, the region has a relaxing atmosphere that feels far removed from city life while still being an easy weekend escape from Melbourne.

What we love most is how much the area changes throughout the seasons. Winter brings snow adventures at Mount Baw Baw, misty mornings, and fire pit weather, while the warmer months are perfect for river exploring, hiking, wildlife spotting, and outdoor dining.

Some of our favourite local spots include Toorongo Falls, the historic Noojee Trestle Bridge, and the relaxed atmosphere of the Noojee Hotel. The area still feels authentic and naturally beautiful, which is becoming harder to find.

The peaceful setting, flowing river, open paddocks, and interaction with friendly farm animals create an experience that encourages people to slow down, switch off, and reconnect with nature.

What makes this property unique

What makes the Grandview Retreat unique is the combination of luxury, nature, and genuine farmstay experiences all in one setting. Guests can relax in a private outdoor spa under the stars, enjoy evenings around the fire and wake to peaceful rural views — all while being surrounded by friendly farm animals and the sounds of the nearby river.

Unlike many traditional accommodations, the retreat offers a balance between comfort and authentic country atmosphere. Guests regularly enjoy watching alpacas, sheep, chickens and other animals nearby, while still having modern amenities, quality furnishings, heating and cooling, Wi-Fi, and a fully self-contained private retreat.

The location itself is also special. Being close to Mount Baw Baw, Toorongo Falls, and the Noojee Trestle Bridge allows guests to enjoy everything from snow trips and hiking to quiet weekends simply relaxing by the fire.

Many guests tell us the property feels peaceful, private, and different from typical stays — somewhere they can slow down, reconnect, and experience a little slice of country life without sacrificing comfort.
