Further down the stunning established cool climate garden is a fire-pit with seating. Take your morning coffee outside and enjoy the view of the surrounding bushlands, or enjoy the autumn colours of the turning leaves.

The 1 acre property is private and secluded, but with neighbours nearby, so not isolated.

Peaceful escape
Spotlessly clean, great communication from host, spacious living areas for multiple groups, beautiful garden. Worth noting: no AC in bedrooms so could get a bit warm, but the house has nice thick stone walls so this would only be a problem in the hottest days of summer.

Beautiful place to relax
Spacious, spotless and thoughtfully furnished to provide a high standard of total comfort, with underfloor heating and a cosy gas fire. Kangaroos visit the lovely grounds and the fenced garden is huge. Days were spent walking in the nearby Lerderderg forest and the local Greendale pub provides tasty meals in front of an open fire. All perfect, can’t wait to return!
