Wonderful accomodation and host.

Great value for money. A truly nice find. Peter was a great host. With a breakfast hamper supplied and freshly made coffee every morning, it was a stress-free staycation.

Hidden gem

Peters bed and breakfast stay is warm and inviting, situated behind the chocolate coffee shop which is exquisite, a brisk walk away from local reserve and shops. The rooms are tastefully renovated with wonderful linens and a well-appointed private bath. Peter was very accommodating and lovely, this was our second time here and it is by far one of the best places we have stayed at. Thanks again Peter for the wonderful experience, we hope to come back again soon =]

Everything we had hoped for

The barn house was the perfect getaway. The owners were super accommodating. The house was spacious, modern, open plan and had plenty of room. Lovely breakfast, comfy bed, and great heating. Loved the complimentary chocolate shop cuppa in the morning!

My new favourite place!!

More of a Manor than a barn house!!! From the moment Peter text, to see if we had any dietary requirements for the continental breakfast, we knew attention to detail was his priority. And that translates right through this stunning property. Impeccably designed, incredibly spacious, yet comfortable. The thought that has gone into this retreat and the personal touches make it by far the most superior of any of our get away places. And it comes with chocolate...what more can you ask for!? I highly recommend the Barn House and can't wait to return :)

Cozy, spacious and simply perfect

It is often difficult to find a place to stay at the Yarra Valley that was affordable to our budget, made us extremely comfortable and very spacious. I almost wanted to gate-keep this accommodation but I could not help myself but to recommend this place as one of the most ideal places to stay for your Yarra Valley weekend. Our host,Peter, greeted us with a warm welcome upon our arrival and showed us around. The Barn House is surprisingly much bigger than what the photos show. It was the biggest place we've ever stayed at. With a beautiful fireplace, two-split systems in each area, full kitchen (which was very important to us) and a lovely spa bath. I didn't think I'd have to say this but all appliances at the accommodation were actually working and we had no issues with any of them during our weekend.Two fire-pits and two court-yards, one shared with another place and its own. The court-yard for the accommodation is big enough for its own beer garden. As it was situated right behind the chocolate cafe, coffee and chocolates were literally a handful of steps away from the front gate. Even though there are customers from the chocolate cafe infront of our place, it did not bother or intrude our stay at all throughout our weekend trip. We just wanted to say a big thank you to our host Peter who has been the most accommodating to us during our weekend away. I highly recommend the Barn House for your weekend stay.

Wow Factor

What an amazing property, from arrival was such a superb stay, the place is so much better in real life! The bath being situated in the main bedroom was a lovely surprise, the hamper with all the yummy goodies. The Barn has such a sense of peace and a homely feel, the surroundings are so pretty. Peter so welcoming, will be staying again shortly. Loved it

lovely property!

Loved our stay! After a message from Peter asking if we have any dietary issues and if there were any requests for breakfast, we arrived on a really hot day to find the air cons already on and the house lovely and cool. The secluded environment was amazing, but you are still a short walk from a number of shops. The breakfast was well thought out with a variety of foods, and Peter was an amazing host. Will definitely stay there again!

Fantastic weekend getaway!

The satisfaction of making a good accomodation decision is enjoyable in it's self, then you add to that the quality of the host, the refreshingly spacious Barn House and the bonus of Chocolate Shop 10 metres from your doorstep! The Barn House is incredible value for money for the location and the high level of accomodation. There are many highlights so here are a few: 1) Large cosy open plan living room with fireplace. 2) Two courtyards (yes two!) with fireplace and BBQ facilities. 3) Spacious, contemporary bedroom equipped with a bath for two. The Chocolate Shop provides chocolate treats across the stay as well as coffees delivered to the house each morning (on request). Finally, Peter is an excellent host. He made sure myself and my girlfriend wanted for nothing. All i can say is Thank you for a great weekend and i look forward to heading back soon!

An Entertainers Delight beside a Chocolate Shop!!

The initial contact from Peter should have been an indicator that this stay was a special treat but on arrival - wow. Easy to find, beautiful setting and absolutely HUGE. A shame we didn't know anyone in Melbourne to invite out as it is certainly an entertainers delight and less than an hour from Melbourne CBD at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges. Two outdoor dining options, full kitchen facilities, inside dining seating for 9, bath in the bedroom with separate bathroom with shower, super comfy bed and a charming (but temperamental lol) gas heater with air con as well. It wasn't over-priced during our stay, ensuring it is one of those properties that will have high demand. Oh, did I mention the chocolate shop on the same property. Despite closeness (which is really convenient to the chocolate lover), the layout of this property ensures privacy. Thank you Peter.
