Stunning location

A very relaxing home stay, in beautiful setting with magical sunsets. Open verandah with spa bath, and the Pygmy goats a great hit. We’d love to return another time, hopefully with other family members.

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Van der Hoeven

When we lived together in London in the late 1990s my now husband Ed & I had a shared dream of running our own accommodation in Australia. We moved here in 2003, bought our property a year later & after years of dedicated building & landscaping and lots of hard work, it has taken us until 2017 to realise that dream but we are now open for business & loving it!

What we have created in Barwite is more than we could ever have imagined to be possible & we are looking forward to this next chapter in our lives along with our two beautiful children.

We are very proud of what we have achieved & are happy now it is all established. We are very much looking forward to hosting you and sharing our dream property with you.

Why they chose this property

We chose to set up our accommodation in Barwite, Mansfield because of it's location to year-round opportunities for guests to enjoy the variety of seasons and all they have to offer - whether it is skiing on the mountain (only 25 min drive to Mt Buller), swimming or fishing in the lakes and rivers, cycling the area or visiting the local attractions such as the maze, the zoo and the awe-inspiring lookouts, there is something for everyone. As well as the wineries, breweries, cafes and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Everything you see on the property has been built, placed or grown by us. It has taken a long time to establish, but we feel we are at a point now where we can enjoy what we have created and now are able to share the property with others for a special holiday experience.
