About this property

Jamar Lodge - Come and rest awhile.

Come and relax on a working farm. A lovely quiet retreat, located 25 minutes from Bendigo, 30 minutes from Heathcote and 45 minutes from Echuca. Close to a fabulous, country pub and community swimming pool. An ideal base to enjoy day trips to Bendigo and Echuca or to visit the local wineries in Heathcote. We are also just a short drive from both the Rochester and Colbinabbin Silo Art. Maybe you would like to try some fishing at the nearby Campaspe river or visit a golf course 15 minutes away. Go for walks, learn about our wool production, feed the lambs with bottles of milk, try some yabbying or be creative and do some sketching. Observe the glittering night sky and glorious sunsets in a rural setting. Another option is to observe the bird life. In the Lodge we have a guide book and a list of sighted birds. Cooking facilities include an oven, microwave and barbecue. A continental breakfast is included with fresh fruits when in season.
Jamar Lodge contains two rooms which have a queen and two king singles. There is a spacious kitchen, modern bathroom with a cradle bath and rainforest shower. A huge decking with seating enables you to soak up the serenity. A reverse cycle air conditioner keeps you comfortable in both winter and summer.

Simply the best!

What an amazing, incredible stay! The property was clean, fully equipped and just as described. The location on the farm is unbelievable, we enjoyed every second of seeing and looking after the sheep and lambs and learning about how the farm works. But over and above it all, the welcome and warmth from Maree and James was phenomenal. They are, quite simply, the best hosts we've ever been privileged to stay with. We will remember our stay always thanks to them and their increduble hospitality.

Amazing farm stay & B&B experience

James and Maree are the perfect hosts who have thought of every little touch to make Jamar lodge something special. The accommodation is lovely, comfy and warm as we visited in winter. The farm experiences with Maree,including bottle feeding lambs were special. The perfect place for recharging your batteries whilst providing a behind the scene look at farm life. I highly recommend it!
