About this house rental

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.

We loved the property. Its location is amazing with stunning views and wildlife all round. The period features of the property were appreciated and the layout is ideal for multiple groups meeting up and staying together. The property is supplied with everything you need in the kitchen (coffee machine with ground coffee provided!) and fireplaces have little kits with them for easy lighting and ample wood. There are games and books to keep any ages entertained if the weather isn’t great. Communication was great and whilst visiting Pomonal after the recent bush fire was humbling and sad, Adair stands proudly untouched. Lots to do locally and this will suffice short or long stays.

We have been coming to Adair usually during the month of June (my birthday) for many years now. It is our absolute favourite home away from home. We love the country comfort of Adair and spend most of our time at the house although there is a wealth of things to see and do in the vicinity. At this time of year we enjoy making use of the fireplaces in the kitchen and living room and we so appreciate the electric blankets on the beds! The window seats in the main bedroom and the kitchen are always in demand as perfect places to relax and read a book and take in the beautiful surroundings and watch the abundance of bird and wildlife. There are great walks to do from the property itself and incredible options within a reasonable drive. I always enjoy the beautiful sunrises with a cuppa from the front deck and in the evening you can enjoy the gorgeous colours in the sky from the sunsets that take place behind the mountain. Larger family and friendship groups will appreciate the 3 bathrooms :) We love the newly renovated kitchen with the big oven and increased counter space and the luxury of a dishwasher! As always we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Adair and cannot wait to return!

This was our second time staying at Adair Historic Homestead and we loved it just as much as the first time. Location was great, house was lovely, spacious and comfortable. Gorgeous views all around, it was lovely having a coffee on the porch in the morning watching the sunrise and the animals (kangaroos, emus and deer) grazing! The hosts Catherine and Mike were great. We had to contact them during our stay and they responded very quickly and were very easy to communicate with. We look forward to staying again and recommend it to others.

Superb period homestead set in a wonderful, nature lovers dream. Lots of kangaroo, emu and deer plus many species of birds in the private grounds running to the mountain. Inside, the home would benefit from a deep clean, redecorating and broken glass replaced
