Rejuvenate in comfort and seclusion atop a spectacular hillside overlooking the green rolling hills of the North West with expansive views over Bass Strait. This boutique accommodation leaves nothing between you and the horizon. Come and have a farm stay.
The farm on which we live has been in the family for generations. Ben and Leonie have farmed this area for all their married live, growing crops on the surrounding hills. moving into the tourism accommodation sector was an obvious move for such a spectacular part of the world.
The neighborhood is really quiet with the retreat the only building on a 10 acres title. The neighbors are a good distance away and are usually never seen, except to waive a friendly g'day. there are only three neighbors who you could classify as hermits!
