Lovely location and comfortable house.

We had a very comfortable stay and we were very happy to be able to bring our old dog along with us. The setting is beautiful, with a bounteous and extensive produce garden to enjoy.

Lovely weekend away

Very peaceful and beautifully set up little cottage, perfect for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. A short drive to Healesville sanctuary. Loved the veggie garden where we could pick some strawberries for breakfast and could also get fresh eggs from the chooks!

Beautiful property. Very nice. Clean and vibrant. Easy to access. I just was disappointed because there were no provisions. It said in Stayz information that it came with them but was told that was old information. Otherwise I did really enjoy my stay. I think had it come with that it would have been absolutely perfect.

Family friendly farm stay

We had a wonderful stay in the harvest cottage. Stayed with our 18month old and she loved visiting the cows, sheep and chooks each day and roaming the large property including playground. The cottage had everything we needed amenities wise and is a 2min drive to the entrance of healesville sanctuary which is handy if you are visiting with small children. Karina our host was really attentive to our needs and were provided with a breakfast hamper on arrival including fresh produce from the vege patch and orchard.

Cosy for winter

We took our cavoodle and it was perfect, we felt safe opening the door and letting him roam at his will, we even had the owners dog come to say hi and ask for him for a play date 😊. We went during the colder months so had the fire on the whole time, ample firewood is provided. House was beautiful, large rooms and comfy bed, and just so quiet. We definitely plan to return. Thank you

Charming farmhouse property

The location is great, close to shops and next door to the Healsville Sanctuary. The property is literally on a small farm with cows, goats, sheep, and chickens. The veggie garden is available for picking (and we did!) as well as the eggs. The owners are on the property and very responsive. FYI, there is no WiFi but internet works.

Charming cottage with fabulous gardens

We (my family and dogs) just loved our stay at Dairy House. It was lovely and relaxing with gorgeous gardens…special mention to the amazing veggie garden. Karina and Bob (and Bo the Groodle) were lovely hosts and welcomed us with a delicious breakfast hamper. We will definitely be returning. Loved it!

Lovely property, very comfortable

We had a lovely relaxing few days at this property. Cows, sheep and an alpacca in the field nearby greeted us in the morning, the grounds were great to just stroll around, the property itself was clean, kitchen well stocked with utensils and bedrooms were huge (and comfortable). Would definitely stay again.

Very clean, comfortable cottage.

Cute little cottage perfect for a small family and pet. Could do with some more modern appliances such as a bigger TV, Ottoman, more crockery etc but overall a great place to stay. Breakfast basket was a real treat too. Beds were a little hard for me but perfect for my husband, I guess its a matter of personal choice on that one. Absolutely stunning gardens and property. Fabulous being able to pick fresh fruit straight from the tree and visit the chooks. We'll be back.

Harvest House

We loved the 4 nights that we stayed in harvest house with our fury human (Rocket). The location is perfect for anyone looking to explore the surrounding area and even better if you're just wanting to spend a few days doing nothing. We will be back.

Beautiful, stunning and peaceful! Will absolutely go back.

We had the best experience from start to finish. The cottage was beautiful and peaceful with everything we needed. Fantastic location as you feel away from everything yet all the best places to visit are all a 5-15 minute drive away. Karina was so lovely to liaise with and made our stay easy and relaxed. We will definitely be re-booking.
