About this property
Adair - Beautiful Historic Homestead
The highest residence in The Grampians, and the oldest in the district, Adair is a 4 bedroom 1930s historic homestead. The property backs on to The Grampians National Park and offers stunning views from the spacious verandahs. This historic property sits on 11 hectares (25 acres) of mostly clear pasture and fruit trees that abounds with kangaroos, emus, deer and birds, and is fringed by bushland and the national park.
Adair provides the best of both worlds: bushwalking* and rock climbing* begin at the back door; or you may be interested in all that the district has to offer including: the Halls Gap Zoo, local wineries, local produce, restaurants and artist studios.
Only 13 km from Halls Gap, Adair offers the best of The Grampians without the crowds.
Adair has accommodation for 10 people with 3 queen beds and two sets of bunk beds. It has three bathrooms: one bathroom is ensuite; the second boasts a shower and toilet; and the third, a toilet and a deep clawfoot bath - the perfect way to relax after a strenuous walk or a long day's sightseeing.
The kitchen is well equiped, with a large 90cm electric oven and induction cooktop, a dishwasher, microwave and coffee maker (bring your own blend) as well as a full compliment of cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery and glasses and mugs. A cosy wood heater, gorgeous bay window seat and a long table that seats 10, makes it a perfect place to hang out with friends and family, chatting over a glass of wine or cups of tea or coffee made with the crystal-clear mountain spring water that supplies all the house's needs.
The lounge room comfortably seats 10, has a 50 inch smart TV and a reverse-cycle air conditioner for year round comfort and a cosy wood heater for those cooler months.
A 5 burner barbecue and comfortable outdoor furniture provide perfect alfresco dining on the spacious verandah, with an unparalleled views over the surrounding farmlands and out to the distant horizon.
Guests have unrestricted access to all areas on the property. In the house they are free to enjoy the lounge room with TV, DVD player, and a large selection of board games and unlimited free wifi access. A front-loading washing machine is also available for guests to use.
The 25 acre property has several walks for people with varying degrees of fitness, from a leisurely 1/2 hour perimeter stroll through the property's diverse range of habitats, to a more rigorous accent of Mt Cassell in the bordering national park.
* Guests arriving in 2024 should note that a bushfire devastated the area around Adair on February 13, 2024 destroying 48 homes in our tiny hamlet and severely impacting the surrounding countryside. While Adair survived completely intact and offers the same level of comfort and convenience as before the blaze, the scars of the fire are obvious and many of the walks from the property are no longer viable.

Thanks so much for our stay at Adairs. It was perfect and homely, just what we wanted and how we wanted to enjoy the area with friends. Much appreciated for taking our group at your home.
An excellent property, homestead is historic with a lovely charm and fabulous location, we had everything we needed for our stay in the Grampians. Loved waking up to Kangaroos, Emus and Deer out the kitchen window. Very comfortable with plenty of room for our group of 8 women, great having 3 bathrooms!The hosts were fantastic, very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a fantastic holiday. A really wonderful property and holiday in the Grampians!

Thanks for writing such a lovely review and we are glad you all had a great stay.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Adair. My husband was able to work from the property because the wi-fi is excellent. My kids and I loved walking around the property, sitting in the window seats, reading by the fire and having afternoon tea on the verandah. The hosts were thoughtful and generous in making sure we had a comfortable stay.
What a wonderful historical home, outlook was truly divine and the wildlife put on a wonderful display as well
Beds were comfy and just loved the tranquility
An authentic country experience
Perfect location and homestead for our Family reunion of 8 adults. Hard to beat in terms of comfort, ambience, authenticity. Peaceful setting with wildlife everywhere.Will be back.
Magical period farmstead in a lovely setting.
Ideal for large families and friends. Well equipped kitchen and facilities.
Highly recommend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Adair is quiet, spacious, comfortable and clean with lovely views and walks on the property which is full of bird life. We will be back in January. Thanks Catherine.
We loved staying at Adair. The old world feel and natural beauty combined to create the perfect atmosphere. The verandah was a delightful place to work, play and eat, and the bedrooms were spacious and carefully decorated. We will be back.
Adair is everything you could ask for in a big country homestead. Sleeps up to 10 people, had a really well equipped kitchen with everything you could ask for to cook family meals. The big wide wraparound verandah allows for a place to sit and take in the spectacular views. The owners are excellent communicators and very friendly. We will definitely stay at Adair again.
This homestead is very comfortable and has everything that is needed. Views from the veranda are beautiful for sunrise and sunset, and a great viewing platform for incoming storms. This was our 2nd family stay. Grandchildren love the animals and walks. You really don’t need to leave the property. The house is very peaceful and tranquil, yet close to Halls Gap if needed
This premises is INCREDIBLE in every way, shape & form!! We absolutely loved every minute of our time! Waking up to Kangaroos, Emus, Dear & rabbits just roaming the property was just amazing! We can’t wait to come back again in 2023, albeit for longer! We can’t thank you enough for making our getaway so perfect!

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and you are welcome back anytime.
Adair was the perfect house for our two young families, great layout, plenty of space and was cosy and warm with the fires going. The location on the edge of the grampians was amazing, a fantastic view from the verandah and with no neighbours in sight, yet not far from some great attractions. We loved being surrounded by kangaroos, emus, deer, eagles and other birdlife.
