We know we were staying some beautiful once we drove through the gate. The property was just amazing as well as the house being so warm and cosy. Location was perfect and exploring the grounds with two small children was great. We all enjoyed our time and wished we stayed longer.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Barn was comfortable, cozy and had everything we needed for our short stay including very lovely views. The children loved feeding the chickens and what a treat it was for them to find some eggs to bring home - they were delicious. Betty was very welcoming and responsive. We would definitely recommend the Barn to others and would stay there again. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

My wife and two young children had the best experience with Betty and Fred. The Barn was cosy and well equiped with beautiful views from every window. We went in the middle of winter and snuggled up next to the gas log fire. My daughter loved the playground and walking around the gardens, with the highlight being the chickens and collecting their eggs, all on the property! Betty was an unreal host and we had the best time on our first family getaway. Would highly recommended to anyone and we will definitely be back.

What a beautiful place to stay. The surrounds are amazing and you could never leave the property and still have a wonderful time. The barn is a great for families - three double beds and a single bed ensures room for even the bigger families. The barn is fully decked out - kitchen, dining, two bathrooms and a laundry. The highlight was the huge wrap around deck with plenty of seating and a bbq - perfect for sunny weather. The host was fantastic, hassle free experience that we could not recommend more.

My wife and I enjoyed Betty and Fred's Barn accommodation for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The property and surrounds were picturesque from the moment you pull in to the drive.
The two one-year-olds were very fond of both the playground just a short garden path from our accommodation as well as the wonderful chicken coop.
Betty and Fred were very attentive and responsive to all communications and requests, whether it was some extra glassware, or towels.
We all loved our stay and even tried to extend our booking by an extra night we were enjoying it so much.

Great getaway from a hectic city life!
We had an amazing stay with it’s beautiful grounds. It was private, comfortable, safe and warm! The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. We were two couples which the property was perfect. It would be a fun place for kids as loft area was open with beds and great play area outside, walking paths and large deck. The barn had everything we needed and across from the arboretum. Definitely return if coming back to area.

Place is nestled between the trees and beautiful views of Gippsland and Yarra Valley. The place is clean and the linens are fabulous and neatly placed. Dishwasher would have been a great addition to the house. Would love to be back soon

When my wife, son and myself were desperate for a week away after all the lockdowns, this looked like a great place to stay. Our "barn" cabin had so much space and everything we needed for comfortable stay that felt like home-away-from-home. Hosts Betty and Fred were so kind and treated us like family, and my son was delighted when their sweet little dog would join us for BBQ breakfast on the porch.We even ended up staying on the property far more than we expected as the beautiful and extensive forest on the actual property meant we could go on little hikes and watch the birds without needing to drive anywhere.In all, it had everything we could have wanted plus a few surprises, and we're already planning our next visit. Thank you Betty, Fred and Pippa!
