Farmstay holiday rentals in East Gippsland Shire

This was my second time staying there, so I knew I would love it. We ended up with the water-facing view which was even better this time. We brought all the food we'd need and Kristen generously provided homemade granola, crackers and bread throughout our three days (and we had a teenager with us). Perfect weather meant we could get up with the birds, enjoy the water, go off and enjoy the koalas on the other side of the island (not to mention the kangaroos all around the property), which made for great days. Drawbacks to keep in mind: bedrooms are up a steepish flight of stairs and the bathroom, while functional is small and awkward (it was clearly an add-on from a different era). These were not dealbreakers for us at all - and this was true in the other unit there, so I suspected it was similar and came back anyway. The splendid outweighs the inconvenient by a mile.

Awesome welcoming environment, with a warm and cosy welcome. Rooms in this abode were fabulous. Five stars on all accounts. Hosts were responsive, caring, thoughtful and very welcoming to their place. Location amazing.

We had the pleasure of staying at Peter and Donrita’s beautiful farm-style Airbnb for a night, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome with their warmth and hospitality. Peter’s knowledge about farming was truly fascinating, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning from him during our stay. It was evident that he is deeply passionate about his work, and his insights were both educational and inspiring. The house itself was stunning—spacious, tastefully designed, and surrounded by the serene beauty of the countryside. Every corner of the property reflected the love and care they put into maintaining it. The service was exceptional, and the hospitality extended to us went above and beyond expectations. We left with fond memories and a greater appreciation for farm life. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tranquil escape with gracious hosts and an enriching experience.

Jo was a great host - welcomed us as soon as we reached the place and offered great flexibility with check-in and out. The creek walk that she suggested from within the property was nice and my daughter still misses Toby & Rosie (two lovely dogs) that were our companions throughout the stay!

We had a lovely stay at the farm. The house was clean and tidy and suited two families well. The location was really central to the beautiful Gippsland Lakes region. Only a short trip to Lakes Entrance and surrounding townships. The kids loved feeding the resident sheep and enjoyed the enclosed garden space too for a play during the day. Christine was a great host, everything was well set up and she was really easy to communicate with. Would recommend to others for sure.

A wonderful, well equipped Log cabin in a spectacular location, with lots to do in the area. Great support and advice from Rosie and Peter. We highly recommend the Buchan Log Cabins for a relaxing get-away.

Comfortable home tucked in a green valley. Close enough to town that its easy to get in and out but still feel private.

Very comfortable studio room that was peaceful and private. A short drive from the Metung Main Street Definitely recommend

Johns property has the wow factor, from the views, the property and the accommodation. Everything inside has been thought out with care and makes it feel so special. This is not just a place to stay it’s an experience!!!!

Robyn’s house exceeded our expectations by a landslide!! The house is absolutely stunning, Robyn has thought of every little thing that you may need, from every kind of kitchen utensil to laundry bags and soaps. The bed was so comfy and the house was cleaner than any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Not a single spec of dirt anywhere, even the outdoor bath was immaculate (and so lush!!). Finally, Robyn as a host may just be the most considerate Airbnb host EVER. We entered the house to find homemade ice cream, beer and wine, crackers and dip, honey and jams etc. The generosity and thoughtfulness of these hosts is next level and I cannot thank them enough for making our stay so comfortable and special. We will absolutely be back, thank you Robyn!! 😊

Angela and Neil's location was sensational. The place oozed quality and cleanliness with a lot of space that was terrific for my wife and I to relax and unwind. There was so much accurate and useful information to do bushwalks or use a water taxi and how to use every appliance that was there, along with them having thought of every need of their guests. The welcoming was amazing with a nice surprise waiting for us in the fridge. The surrounds were immaculate and we had an amazing walk around the property and just loved every moment of it. Truly enjoyed this so much and could not be more happy with the choice we made.

This is one of the best places I have stayed in with airbnb. Feels like we got more than what we paid for. Such a luxurious relaxing vibe, beautiful sunsets and nightly bonfires. Lynn was so accessible and kind, my mother even asked her for the brand of her mattresses. Very comfy! Will definitely come back.

Beautiful, peaceful surrounds. fantastic amenities. Easy hassle free check in. Great launching pad to explore area and great relaxing place to come back to after day touring.

Beautiful farm environment, refreshing and very comfortable

Absolutely stunning place! Everything was perfect from the get go! Lynn met us at the property and showed us around and was in constant communication and went as far as giving us advice on what to do each day! The fridge was stocked up with lovely goodies and the amenities in the pantry were fantastic. The place itself was amazingly spectacular with some stunning views, not to mention how remarkably clean it was too!! The location was fantastic too only a 5 minute drive to orbost town which has everything! There is no doubt we will stay again! (We actually extended our stay by a day purely because of how awesome the place was as well!).

Lynn was a gracious and helpful host who truly loves this property, which has been in her family for generations. She takes loving care of the place, and it shows. Words and pictures cannot adequately describe the magic of this place. The house is built to accentuate the beauty of the land, and the land is beautiful. We had parrots and cockatoos and ducks and bunnies on the property, with friendly cows at the bottom of the yard hill and kangaroos just down the road. The yard and garden were so beautiful we did not want to leave. The rooms were all comfortable and luxurious. We spent a wonderful Christmas here with our family and would definitely come back. Thanks Lynn for making our Christmas special!

I had such a lovely stay at Adobe in the Honeymoon suite with my dog. It’s such a cute and quirky cottage with a beautiful view and not too close to the other cottages. It’s in a nice area with good walks close by and the shops and beaches were about a 10 min drive. Julie very kindly left chocolate, wine, milk, juice, yoghurts, English muffins and all sorts of bits to enjoy. It’s a really great place to stay and I do highly recommend it but a couple of things to note (it does say these things on the listing but in case you don’t realise). Firstly there’s no aircon so it gets very hot and stuffy in there on hot days even with the ceiling fan on. I brought a mini fan with me which helped a bit. Secondly there is a giant window/skylight above the bed so if you’re very sensitive to the light in the mornings that’s something to consider or bring an eye mask. Those couple of things aside it really is an amazing place to stay!

We loved our stay at Hakuna Matata. The property was so tranquil and serene we were instantly relaxed. A beautiful outlook from inside the apartment or from the huge verandah overlooking the garden and fields - so much for our dog to look out at and she was also made very welcome! The accommodation was well-appointed and very comfortable and our hosts had thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable, even a little work station area that was much appreciated as well. Great property that we would recommend!

Donrita and Peter are warm and engaging hosts. Their place is very comfortable, quiet and in a beautiful part of the world, surrounded by nature.

We had a wonderful stay at the Tiny Home. The location is stunning, with beautiful views, and we enjoyed watching the kangaroos grazing on the hills. The alpacas and sheep on the farm add to the charm of the place making the experience even more enjoyable. Joe communicated well throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

Natalie and Martin were friendly and responsiveness before and during our stay including a lovely welcome beverage! The accom was beautifully presented and had all we needed. We honestly could have stayed longer and could picture being repeat visitors! An amazing stay. Really, thank you!

Loved our stay in Swifts Creek. It was a perfect escape from the city. The surroundings were so peaceful and relaxing. Would stay here again.

Bumblebrook farm, Jo and Andy’s place was amazing. Had a fantastic 2 nights there The views, accommodation, surroundings and animals, especially the highland cows with a 1 day old baby was fabulous. So peaceful. The pub and cafe 10 minutes down the road were also great for dinner, breakfast and lunch. Just a short drive down to Bega, Tatura, Merimbula and Eden. Would highly recommend and would certainly return if down that was again. Thanks Jo & Andy Mark & Judy

Just what we needed. A peaceful getaway in a comfortable home. Enjoyed the quiet mornings watching the sunrise over the valley, with birdsongs and cute little fairy wrens, finches, Willy wag tails and kookaburras just to name a few! Cattle, horses and sheep in the paddocks grazing adding to the serenity. The slow combustion fire warmed the place beautifully. Enjoyed exploring the local area during the day then home to cook dinner in a very well equipped kitchen. Overall a very comfortable and relaxing place to unwind.
