About this farm stay rental

Located on the edge of the Broken River, The Dairy is a beautiful riverside retreat like no other.

Featured in Country Style magazine, this old red brick dairy has been transformed into a comfortable home with modern conveniences and plenty of rustic charm.

The Dairy boasts two lovely outdoor areas perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring the North East of Victoria.

Only 2kms from the heart of Benalla where you will find the highly regarded regional Art Gallery, lakeside walks and bike paths, great cafes, restaurants, specialty stores and many other attractions. Benalla is also the home of some world class street art.

Close to Winton Motor Raceway, the State Gliding Centre and the Winton Wetlands there are activities for everyone. A short drive will also have you in the heart of the King Valley Wine District or in Mansfield on the doorstep of the High Country.

The home sleeps up to 6 people in 3 bedrooms. At present the sleeping configuration is:
Bedroom 1 - 1 Queen Bed
Bedroom 2 - 2 King Singles (or 1 King Bed made up on request)
Bedroom 3 - 2 Singles

As The Dairy is located on a working farm with no fenced yard we are unable to accommodate pets at this time. The home is also unsuitable for small children with the staircase and mezzanine room.

Other features are:
- A fully equipped kitchen with gas hot plates, electric oven, microwave, large fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.
- A large comfortable lounge featuring a free standing wood heater.
- Library, TV/DVD player and CD player
- Bathroom with shower and free standing bath.
- Laundry
- Airconditioning
- Plenty of parking

In terms of location The Dairy at Marangan is truly one of a kind. Surrounded by farmland it is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway but still less than 3 minutes to the CBD, 5 minutes to the airfield and 15 minutes to Winton Motor Raceway.

The Dairy at Marangan was amazing. There was everything provided that you could possibly want or need. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. The proximity to Benalla township was great but at the same time you are surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside. The host was very welcoming and helpful.

Utterly gorgeous dairy conversion on a very pretty farm close to Benalla and surrounding district. House was immaculate, with very comfortable accommodation for 3 couples. Surroundings were very private with personal access to the Broken River, and only 1 km out of Benalla. Highly recommended for couples or families

Louise came around to welcome us on our arrival. The Dairy was exactly as described. The bonus being the superb selection of books piled high on the book shelves in the corner. The already cooled living area was welcome respite from the summer heat. The attached bedrooms and bathroom were spotless.

Owner came over to introduce herself & welcome us on arrival. A lovely property - we all enjoyed our three nights stay. Thank you

We were looking for a place to relax, unwind and spend family time together after a busy Christmas and New Year, and after all the worries of covid 2021. This place was perfect - a comfortable house in a tranquil farm setting. The owners made sure that we felt welcome, and were readily on hand if we had any questions or additonal requirements.

Great property for a relax. The cast iron bath was so good. A proper farm within walking distance to Benalla shops, is pretty special. Really good communication by the owner and nice to be greeted on arrival. Huge living area, and comfortable recliner chairs.

Wonderful property! So huge and rustic. Love the tree in the kitchen!! Lots of comfy seating, books and dvd's when you want to stay in. Great fireplace. Beds very comfy. Lots of areas outside to sit and relax, with a cuppa or glass of wine. Very quiet and close to town and easy to find. Louise and Nikky are lovely and very helpful. Look forward to another stay in the future... Carmen, Central Goldfields.

The Dairy is everything the photos tell you and much more. If you are looking for something just a little bit different without losing any amenities and comfort - this is the place. It has a beautiful, private and rural location which makes you think you are the only ones there. Big thanks to Peter for lighting the fire when we arrived! We will be back.

The Dairy was perfect for us and met our needs - a place for 4 people in the Benalla area, with a patio/garden to sit out in. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating.

The property was well presented and very very clean on the inside. The recent addition of aircon was much appreciated as it was over 40 degrees the 2 days we were there. We were limited to outside experiences as the bush fires were affecting air quality. We would love to go back when it is clearer and more green. Great base from which to see Art Silo Trail.
