About this house rental
The Verandah at Clunes is a new architecturally designed house on a hilltop with the best views that historic Clunes can offer. The design features the Australian rural vernacular style, with the verandah wrapping around the whole house and providing enough space for outdoor dining and entertainment, no matter what the weather.
The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, and one with twin beds. All the bedrooms open on to the verandah with glazed french doors. The huge country-style kitchen has an open fireplace, and is fully equipped, including a TV with Netflix and the all important coffee machine!
A separate and intimate Study also has an open fire and TV, and all the books you could hope to read.
There are 2 bathrooms, a Laundry and a walk-in pantry.
The house has central heating and cooling, and ceiling fans for the summer months.
Pets are welcome, but please, not on the furniture, and be aware that the property is not fenced.
There is a bus and train service from Ballarat to Clunes, but travel by car is the easiest and quickest way to get to Clunes.
The best local dining and shopping is 10 minute's walk or 1 minute's drive away in Fraser St. Fraser St is the beautiful main street that has been regularly featured in movies due to its pristine condition since the heady days of the Goldrush in the last half of the 19th Century. Clunes also features the best Lolly Shop in Victoria.
Clunes is home to the famous Book Fair in May, and there are farmers and craft markets a-plenty in Creswick, Talbot and Clunes. The Clunes annual Agricultural Show is an event not to be missed!
The house was designed to be a sanctuary for the weekend, and a place to recover and re boot from the stresses of modern life. We hope it does this for you!

This house was wonderful, and we hope to stay again next year.

Once again, Sarah has outdone themselves by creating an ambience that reflects her work as an artist and homemaker. After spending four nights the other week, we simply had to return for several more nights in the heritage listed town of Clunes. Comfort and warmth were met by us as my lovely Lady lazy d-Daisy romped the grounds checking the borders for varmints.

From the welcoming lights and warm house, to the set fireplaces and artwork, this was a perfect weekend away with our family. The house was immaculately presented in every way, on a hill overlooking town, and dog friendly too.

Everything about this property is wonderful. It is the kind of deep-verandah'd farmhouse that I wish I had grown up in. Designed and creatively appointed by the owner, the house sits above the village of Clunes with views stretching across to mountains beyond. It has every (high quality) facility you need and some you hadn't thought of. It is easily the best holiday rental I have experienced.

Verandahs was an absolutely brilliant destination for a weekend away. The house was spectacular with such an artistic decor. Everything we needed was provided. We had a fabulous family break away. It was perfect. Thank you, Sarah

The house is officially my dream house. The house is extremely spacious with a beautiful hallway, spacious kitchen, not to mention the verandah right around the house. We were 3 adults and 1 child and each one could enjoy their own space. The artistic detail in and around the house will inspire anyone who loves art and is artistic of nature. Time stood still for us for 3 days. I also loved the open spaces around the house. One of the best stays we had.

My cousins and I had a wonderful girls weekend at the Verandah House in Clunes.
The photos in the listing don’t do it justice! – Sarah has done a wonderful job creating a beautiful and comfortable space to have a relaxing stay. Amenities are great, pantry stocked well, and rooms spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed eating alfresco in multiple spots on the Verandah and drinking wine as the sun set over the lovely view of Clunes.
Sarah was great at responding to our queries and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable.

Couldn't fault this property, only stayed a couple of days but it was so lovely, everything had been thought of. A highlight was relaxing by an open fire in the evening.. Can't wait to stay again.

This is our second stay in Clunes at this lovely farmhouse. We wanted to come back in Winter to experience the lovely fireplaces. They did not disappoint. It is very special sitting out on the deck overlooking the town of Clunes.
We will be back.

We had a lovely weekend here. Excellent value. The house is beautifully decorated with paintings/ murals and beautiful textiles. The 3 bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean and modern and kitchen well appointed. We loved the open fireplace in the kitchen. The wide verandah is beautiful but unfortunately it was too cold for us to spend too much time out there- enjoying the amazing view down to the town. It would be wonderful to sit out there on a summers day.
Highly recommended and Hopefully we'll be back soon.

Amazing house!
Our family had such a great weekend at the Verandah at Clunes. The house is stunning and has really lovely views off of the back of the property.
Our days started out sitting by the fireplace in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and finished in the same spot in the evening with a glass of wine, so cozy! Loved the covered deck that wrapped around the entire house, so many good spots to sit outside and take in the scenery.
The kitchen is really well stocked, as is the rest of the house. Also worth noting that we found the house great for kids as it's single story, has wood floors (easy cleanup), and has lots of space.
The rooms and beds were really comfortable, and even though it was very cold in Clunes over the weekend we were nice and toasty inside.
Right around the corner from the charming Fraser Street in Clunes with some great shops which we really enjoyed seeing.
Definitely recommend this house for a relaxing weekend away or a catchup with family and friends. Sarah is so lovely and was such a pleasure to deal with, thanks so much for letting us stay at your amazing house. Can't wait to come again in the summer!

A brilliant eclectic very comfortable home
We had a fabulous stay at this well appointed warm house. The views are beautiful and the neighbourhood is quiet and an easy stroll to town. Thoroughly recommend a stay here, our only issue was as people who sew the lighting isn’t ideal.

Best house ever!
The house is wonderful. It is extremely comfortable and the styling is amazing and interesting. It has everything you need (and more). We were a group of 3 couples staying for two nights on the weekend but I wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back.

Verandah House Wedding weekend
Let me start by saying the photos don’t do this place justice. Verandah House is absolutely beautiful. The views are spectacular. The house is spotlessly clean, the amenities are new and modern but the house feels like it has been there for 100 years. The kitchen layout is the best for families to enjoy time together, having a drink by the fire or playing games around the beautiful kitchen table. It was hot when we arrived and the house was beautiful and cool with the air conditioner on for our arrival. We slept very comfortably and cool. There was so many beautiful spots on the verandah to sit that I had to keep moving so as to enjoy every aspect. The artwork had to be the highlight. I really took my time walking around what felt like a gallery admiring every single piece. I will definitely be back, I think I found my secret escape from the city for when I want to disappear from my busy life and just relax. Thank you Sarah, what a spectacular job you have done!!

Wonderful home in a great location
We had a lovely weekend getaway at The Porch in Clunes with family and friends to celebrate my "significant" birthday.
What an amazing home! We all loved every single detail of the home and it's grand proportions and scale.
The verandah is wonderful as are the twenty four hour ever changing views of the landscape.
Thanks for hosting us. We will be back for sure.

Weekend away
We loved our stay at Clunes. The house was fascinating and so comfortable. We couldn't decide if our favourite place was the comfy library or the verandah overlooking the view.
Would love to come back in Winter

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property.The house is very comfortable and we loved having two fires places. The eclectic decoration was great and gave us a number of ideas for our own home!The property was equipped with everything required for a four day stay. There was even some local honey which was super tasty.The location was good and very peaceful. The poor weather meant we could not enjoy the outside verandah but in the warmer months it would be a great spot to eat or enjoy a drink whilst looking out over the scenery.If we are back in the area we would certainly stay here again.

We found it hard to leave.
Our stay at The Verandah was delightful in every way - this is a very special house that has been carefully designed and beautifully furnished. We felt very welcome and every comfort was catered for. Sarah responded promptly to my queries and check in was simple. We were loathe to leave such a lovely place and hope to return soon. The fact that we were able to take our dog along too was the icing on the cake!

Beautiful home in stunning location
We loved our stay. The house is beautiful and all the artwork made it so special. The location is fantastic, quite with glorious views. Only minor downsides were a bit of dog hair in carpets etc, plus for the price I would have expected some fresh breakfast supplies rather than 'help yourself to anything in the pantry/fridge" which was full of open packets/jars/bottles of stuff that looked like it was left by previous guests. Having said that, we did love the house and would happily return again :)
