Kilmuir is an historic sheep and cattle property. Eighty acres was purchased at the first auction of Mansfield farmland on June 7, 1854, for one pound per acre. Over the following 130 years purchase of adjoining land saw the property grow to over 1,000 acres.

A considerable workforce was employed to work on the farm. Many of the men and some of their families lived at Kilmuir in workers' cottages. Kilmuir Country Retreat was originally the shearers' quarters.

For your added security, this property is only managed in Australia and we never request payments to be made to overseas bank accounts.

We stayed for 2 nights over the New year weekend and we definitely loved this place for its rustic charm. The host Erica was a very nice lady that made our stay very comfortable also we were allowed to check in early and check out late, commucation was excellent during the booking process. Great outdoor entertainment area, huge kitchen and bathroom facilities. Only minutes from town centre. Peaceful and surrounded by nature. Definitely be back.

Had a group of 15 and Erica made us all welcomed. The layout is well suited for a large group and with a large outdoor undercover area with a BBQ it easily caters the group. The location was fantastic, being only 5 minutes out of town and have the beautiful gardens and space to move around.

We (group of mature ladies) had a wonderful stay at Kilmuir. The property is well set up for a large group and is in a beautiful rural location but also close to town. We were worried about being cold but the heating was fantastic and the beds and rooms were super cosy. Erica is a lovely, welcoming, helpful host. We would be happy to stay again.

We absolutely loved staying at Erica's place for 3 nights over New Years Eve. Erica and her husband live on the property, just two sheds back from where the rental is so she is always nearby if you need anything and was an absolutely lovely host. She popped by each morning to provide fresh towels and empty the bins, as well as tell us about good spots to visit in the local area. We had some music decks set up out the back which she thought was great and couldn't hear our music on NYE, in return we of course made sure to be respectful of her very well kept property and surrounds although it is very remote and private! It has a lot of interesting history as a wool shearer's accommodation which Erica told us about. Her dog Ziggy came to visit us for pats a lot too! Extremely well equipped with BBQ and all the kitchen equipment and appliances you could ever need including 2 fridges and huge pantry. Outdoor area was gorgeous with a lovely verandah and fan. Everything was extremely clean. Plenty of space for car parking. I'd definitely recommend visiting Goughs Bay and Delatite Winery in the area. Thank you Erica!

A diverse age group (ranging from 5-45) booked this property for a trip at Mt Buller. The property catered for all age group with all the amenities were up to date. The whole experience multiplied with the help of property owner Erica. She not only provided a great accommodation but visited us to see if all is well and provided us with local area knowledge. We highly recommend the property. We will surely stay here again. Thanks Erica!

From the get go Erica was an amazingly kind and considerate host. We had a fabulous stay at Kilduir. Erica made sure we had everything we needed and left us to enjoy her space with our friendship group of over 25 years (a much needed catch up). I would highly recommend this property for a get away. We also loved our little visits from Ziggy (the dog) too!

We found everything we wanted at Kilmuir for an extended family gathering where we gathered to celebrate a birthday. All ages were delighted by the place. The 2 grandchildren arrived to be invited to see the new born calf( great for city kids) and family and partners were all happy in that they all had their own separate bedrooms...a basic room, each one opening onto the front or back verandahs of the shearing shed, but comfortable beds, electric blankets and heaters. The kitchen /meals area was a fantastic place to all be preparing a real cook up and feast. Two fridges, large stove, lots of pots and pans etc made for an easy place to work in. The adjoining lounge sitting area , although smaller, worked well and had a fantastic heater which heated the whole area. Couches on both front and back verandahs allowed us to sit and enjoy superb sunsets and for the early birds the sunrises. The garden surrounding the property was inspiring and full of birds. Cattle in the adjoining paddock, kangaroos in the late afternoons and a close walk to hear the pobblebonk frogs (not sure of that spelling) all provided interest. There was a great BBq area and outside tables and chairs scattered around the garden gave quiet spaces if anyone needed them Our host was helpful, very friendly and informative and made our stay very special. Nothing was too much bother for her.... somehow she managed to also provide us with the most glorious weather for the 4 days that we were there! Thanks Erica!

Nestled in the countryside near Mansfield is this big, lovely refurbished shearer's quarters, just up the drive from the owner's house. Plenty of bedrooms, perfect for large groups, with 4 toilets and showers. Big kitchen with all that you should need plus an outdoor decking area with BBQs and large tables. Couches line the veranda in multiple directions ready for a relaxing view while you listen to the birds. Erica was very attentive and recommended local sights to see. Our kids had plenty of garden space to run around and play in.

What an awesome place! We had 4 families with kids who were older teenage/ early twenties and there was something for everyone, with enough space for everyone to have a great weekend. The renovated shearers’ quarters still retain their charm, but were also very comfortable. The separate bedrooms were cosy, each opening onto the front or back veranda. Small heaters in each room were more than enough to take the edge off the crisp Mansfield mornings. The big kitchen was ideal for our group of 16 and the lounge room was perfect to sit by the fire. We had good weather, so eating in the spacious outdoor living area or sitting on the veranda in the afternoon was a treat.Erica was the perfect host. She showed us around the farm, which was full of history, including the old shearing shed, which is still in use. Some of our group were bush walkers, so Erica provided us with lots of local knowledge regarding walks. She even went into the tourist centre herself one day to pick up more information for us!A great holiday venue - highly recommended!

A fabulously relaxing weekend away for our group. Erica was a wonderful host. The property is beautiful just a few kms out of Mansfield. The converted shearers quarters were perfect for our group. On the first night we were already looking at dates to return!
