About this house rental
Balewood House is a super insulated, straw bale hybrid, home, constructed from straw bales & conventional building materials. Internally & externally, it has the appearance of a conventionally built home, however the external walls have been constructed of straw bales sandwiched between two frames & are half a metre thick.
Boasting 4 bedrooms, 2-bathroom, multiple living areas & an abundance of outdoor space, this stunning property is nestled within the quiet & natural surrounds of Bonnie Doon (near Peppin Point).
Accommodating up to 9 guests, it is suitable for multiple families wanting to get away from the hustle & bustle of city living.
Cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen & come together to share a meal on the large dining table. Fire up the barbie & sit outside on the timber setting soaking up the peaceful & private environment.
You won’t be disappointed upon arrival to this fantastic rural holiday home. With all bedrooms leading out onto a decking area, it’s the perfect spot to watch the amazing sunrise or sunsets on offer.
Balewood House is less than 10kms off the Maroondah Hwy, and approx 20 mins drive to Mansfield Township, 45 mins to the Mt Buller Entry Gates & only 5 mins to the closest launching ramp to Lake Eildon
In the warmer months, wander to the water’s edge of Lake Eildon & have fun in the sun.
Take a walk along the Victorian Rail Trail, Visit the Mansfield Zoo or play in the botanical gardens with a family picnic.
Alternatively, relax at the home & watch the kids play in the fresh country air kicking a footy, playing backyard cricket or throwing the ball to the dog * All whilst you sit back & enjoy a nice cold drink while the BBQ sizzles away.
In winter take the drive to Mt Buller & enjoy a day at the snow knowing you will come back to a warm & cosy home where you can relax on the couch by the crackling of the wood fire reading a book or watching a movie on the large screen TV.... The kids can enjoy their own space & downtime in the kids bunk room.
Apart from being one of the best locations for water activities, there are many nearby attractions including horse riding, cycling, 4-wheel driving, motor bike riding, markets, plus much more & with an abundance of wildlife, great fishing, & a relaxing atmosphere. A perfect base to set off from to explore what the High Country Mountains, Rivers and Lakes have to offer.
If you are looking for that special country getaway then Balewood House is for you.
