About this property

Experience living on an organic farm.

This is our version of the Garden of Eden. Located on 5-acre organic farm, the secluded Farmhouse is surrounded by acres of vegetable gardens, fruit orchards and nut trees. Escape through the orchards, and hand pick the seasonal fruits and nuts. Breathe in the fresh air as the farm animals graze nearby.

The lake is accessible via a nearby public trail. Swimming, a fishing dock and picnic areas are all public access, with a popular 10km walking trail that circles the entire lake.

Peaceful and adequate

We chose to stay in a more rural area to be close to family. It is half way between Sydney and Victoria. The farm is well cared for and the farm house is well fenced for our dog. We had beautiful weather so enjoyed sitting under palm tree on patio and in morning on deck with coffee. We enjoyed the sheep in the back and chickens in the front on other side of our fenced area. Bed comfortable and nice to have the extra bathroom. If you are looking for fancy, this three level split is cozy and adequate but not fancy. Definitely need a car as not easy to access without it. Thank you for the fresh farm eggs which were delicious and the fruit we enjoyed right off the tree in yard. Thank you so much to Lori for the many places she recommended when we asked. She has great communication from the time we booked till we left property. Definitely will keep this property next time. Thanks again.

a magical retreat

The farmhouse is a hidden gem. From the moment we arrived we felt at home and comfortable. We were in the area for a wedding so had a number of friends and family in for visits, and everyone was delighted with the farm and told us how lucky we were to be staying in such a beautiful space. Lori and her family were so generous as hosts, from the dozen farm fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge, to all the fruit we could eat from the orchard. Lori also took special care to set up the child gates on the stairs so the littles were safe. We will definitely return, and I think family and friends are also planning stays. Just a beautiful home, and lovely hosts.

Amazing family, farm and stay

We cannot be more happy with the property and the business's family. Lori and her parents were excellent and did everything they could to make our stay pleasant. Undoubtedly, we will stay at their farm again if we return to Victoria. Thank you, Lori and parents!

Perfect

The house was perfect, very well equipped and in incredible surroundings. We loved hearing and seeing the farm animals. The exchange we had with Lori on arrival was very interesting. It was a nice change from impersonal key boxes or codes.

About the host

Hosted by Lori Joyce

Welcome to our farm.

My parents planted every fruit and nut tree on this property. Everything here is organic and sustainably grown, including the livestock. We are proud that we can live this way, and we can't wait to show you.

Hopefully you will have the chance to stay with us during the harvest season (generally August - October) .
