Away from the city stress to your Gippsland retreat
Set in picturesque rural Gippsland is this stand-alone weekend retreat. It's a short 7-minute drive from the township of Trafalgar and around 15-20 minutes to Moe or Warragul. The accommodation provides a cosy haven whether by oneself or for couples getting away from the big smoke or just passing through to or from Melbourne. Come and visit our peaceful patch of countryside with our friendly pets set among rolling hills with plenty of local attractions and tasty produce to indulge all tastes.
This studio style accommodation consists of the main living/sleeping area, with separate kitchenette and bathroom areas. In the living area is a queen size bed, 2-seater sofa, dining table for 2 and smart TV, with Wi-Fi. The kitchenette has a fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, with dinner set and tea and coffee making facilities for up to two people. The bathroom has shower, toilet and vanity, together with linen for your use during your time with us. On the deck is a small table and two chairs, together with a small electric grill for outside barbecuing during pleasant days.
Our property is surrounded by the beautiful Gippsland countryside. We have paddocks with horses, and dogs that roam freely around our house block. The guest house is located next to our own home. There is space to stretch your legs, though we ask that you don't enter paddocks. If the horses come near the fence, you are welcome to pat them - just watch your fingers as they may think you have food. Some of the fences are electrified, so please don't touch. Our dogs are very friendly and love nothing more than your pats and ear rubs! They are not allowed in the guest house and we ask that you don't invite them inside. We respectfully ask that you don't bring pets with you to avoid any conflict with our own animals.
This listing is primarily for weekend stays - Friday afternoon through to Sunday morning. Exceptions may include public holidays over long weekends, and Victorian school holidays. Send us a message to enquire about availability.

Ideal base from which to attend a local event. We found the cottage clean, warm and cosy. Very clear and easy process for after hours arrival. A brief but warm welcome from host Michele was appreciated. Delightful doggies Benny and Mintie give Trafalgar Weekend Stays a homey country feel and they certainly didn’t mind a pat.
