About this property

On the edge of Rocklands Reservoir at Glendinning, 4 bedroom home, spacious deck

On the far side of the Grampians, on the edge of Rocklands reservoir sits Yangoora. Once home to farmers, bee keepers, rose growers and tree changers. As you settle on the deck in the late afternoon, the red neck wallabies shyly appear and the native birds splash and natter in the coolness of the bird bath.
Kayak the clear water of Rocklands reservoir, wander the dirt track to fossick, explore and be captivated by the bush.
The Farm House
Lots of space, four bedrooms, sleeps up to 10, living room with cosy wood fire, large, separate dining area. Two bathrooms, kitchen with all you need, laundry, bbq area and spacious deck.
Stringy bark bush
Nestled in 150 acres of stringy bark bush Yangoora is home to wallabies, kangaroos, echidnas, emus, the occasional koala and goannas. Wild flowers burst into welcome colour in the spring and rosellas, lorikeets, honey eaters and wrens are constant visitors.

Relax and unwind

This was the most relaxing weekend we've ever had. The property was perfect, we loved sitting on the verandah watching the wallabies and birds. We even spotted an echidna. The chickens provided us with fresh eggs, and the kids made use of the pool table and table tennis table. Highly recommend this property - we will be back.

Wonderful accommodation

We stayed at Yangoora for 8 nights in late June/early July. There were 9 people in our party. The house was spacious, clean and tidy. It is set in a beautiful location and surrounded by an abundance of wildlife. Sit out on the verandah and watch the wallabies, kangaroos and colourful parrots pass by. The games room provided entertainment with pool and table tennis competitions, and the pianola was used for singalongs. The Coonarra kept the place warm and toasty. The fire pit provided a great focus to gather around, swap stories, and watch the amazing stars. Rocklands reservoir was an easy walk from the property. It is the perfect place to relax, chill and take it easy. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Peaceful hideaway

This is a large and very comfortable and well-appointed house located on an expansive property. We enjoyed the peaceful surroundings in the bush, including the group of wallabies that seem to live around the house and gathering fresh eggs from the chook pen.

Great place to Get Away & Recharge

We had a wonderful time at Rocklands, where we were able to totally relax and detox from electronic devices. Great for families as there is plenty of things to do and see. The home is very comfortable and photos do not do it justice. It was lovely to meet Dan too!

Wonderful getaway, peaceful, clean, great for families.

Loved our stay here, and are looking forward to come back. Anita made check in welcoming and easy. The house was clean, spacious and even had fresh eggs from the chooks. We made use of the Kayaks, the pool table and the table tennis. The kids went without technology for three days and it was a joy. The deck is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy a drink and observe the kangaroos and wallabies. The garden is a joy to explore and so is the walk to the lake. Can't recommend staying here enough, it is just a magical place.

Woodland Paradise

This well established property is an ideal family getaway. From exploring the large acreage of Spring wild flowers right down to the Rocklands reservoir, as well as a great base for trips to the Grampians. The house has all the amenities capped off by a large verandah for just sitting and watching the late afternoon bird life and native animals. Loved every minute of our five days at Yangoora. Would do it all over again.

Host profile image
Danny and I have lived in the area all our lives. With our 4 children we have spent countless hours out and about on Rocklands, fishing, swimming, exploring, canoeing and camping. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to purchase Yangoora and look forward to sharing this very special place with our visitors.
During your stay
We live on a farm 12 kilometres from Yangoora and will usually be available during your stay. When we're away our friends will help you out. We're part of a strong local community.

Why they chose this property

Yangoora is a gorgeous respite away from the hustle and bustle. The bush is your own and the wallabies will always make you smile.
If you love Yangoora as we do and return for a second visit ww will thank you by leaving a voucher to spend at the Balmoral community store or Balmoral's Western Hotel.
