Farmstay holiday rentals in Murray River

Picturesque and historic farmhouse that felt like the middle of nowhere but close enough to Castlemaine and Bendigo. Amazing stargazing with very little light pollution and a comfortable home with everything needed. Will come back.

Just a perfect little place for a quick stopover, and some exciting scenery and animals to keep the kids entertained in the morning. We were greeted on arrival by the friendly old farm dog, who even checked up on us the next morning with lovely pats. The extra breakfast ammenities were lovely. Proper ground coffee to percolate and cute little cereals that the kids loved. Would recommend, especially for families like ours (2 kids; 2 and 5 years)

Bruce's cottage was a beautiful space. The view was stunning and it felt like the perfect hideaway from the everyday. Would recommend for a weekend away.

Lovely little stone building with everything you need. Very cozy and warm with the fire going. Completely private and very picturesque setting. Nice to walk around the local roads and look at the historic stone houses and farms. Only a 15 minute drive to Daylesford as well.

Wonderful, relaxing stay in a beautiful country setting. Great views and local walking trails close by.

Ron is extremely friendly and welcoming! The cabin was very homely and cozy. We had a wonderful stay.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Dave and Leanne were exceptional hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. The property boasts truly breathtaking views that perfectly capture why Dave referred to it as 'God's Country.' Thank you, Dave and Leanne, for your outstanding hospitality and for creating such a memorable experience. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

The perfect bushwalker, dog lover and nature seeker get-a-away with all the basic necessities for a comfortable and scenic stay. The large fully fenced area around the cabin was perfect for my eager border collie and husky to roam independently. Also lots of dog friendly walks to drive to, although the area is mostly surrounded by National Parks, so super great for walking without dogs too. The cabin is warm with closed-in fireplace and open plan rustic style with all the necessities so plenty of room for a couple. And the enclosed garden lovely for evenings under the stars or breakfasts in the sun. I loved it! Big Smiles…

Thank you Kat & Angus for having us over our long weekend. We loved the cosy studio with homemade items and treats. It was lovely to get acquainted with the farm animals. We would highly recommend this stay to others and would love return some time!

Nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills region of Lebothel, this Airbnb is an absolute delight. The property is stunning—immaculately kept, charmingly quaint, and perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views that make every sunrise and sunset feel magical. The attention to detail in the home is remarkable, blending warmth and elegance effortlessly. Every corner exudes comfort, making it the perfect retreat for a peaceful getaway. The breakfast provided was a wonderful touch, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients that made mornings extra special. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or a scenic base to explore the area, this spot is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Very nice and helpful host. As in was cold, they even provided 2 extra heaters. Many interesting farm animals. Thank you

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay. Star gazing in the hot tub was our highlight. Would recommended it for anyone who loves the farm and being with nature. We saw alpacas and kanagaroos in the backyard. Very high quality kitchenware when cooking up a storm. Great night sleep, the mattress and pillows were comfy! Only feedback is to have entrance lights/driveway lights to the cottages. Note, we arrived quite late in the dark. Otherwise, loved the experience!

Beautiful stay on Paramoor winery. The cottage was comfortable, warm with heating and a wood-burner, and the property is really peaceful. 10 minutes drive from Kyneton, Lancefield and Woodend, and wineries. The wine at Paramoor was delicious - we had a lovely tasting with Sam. Thank you!

A little haven in the country. So peaceful and quiet and just what the doc ordered. Beautifully appointed, lovely and warm as the rain lashed down outside and comms with Genevieve were excellent. Everything was top notch and we’d highly recommend a stay here with the Roos for company!

Emily and Aaron were fantastic hosts and the property was everything and more than we had hoped for. We enjoyed feeding their goats and petting their gorgeous dog during our stay. The nights sky was clear and full or the most beautiful stars. The property was stunning and the added touches of sourdough and eggs made our mornings perfect. We were close enough to visit Castlemaine for massages, Daylesford for coffee and shopping, Kyneton for shopping and food and Trentham for delicious dinners and sightseeing. We would love to return again and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. You can do as much or as little as you want to during your stay.

Kookaburra Cottage was absolutely amazing beautiful location fantastic with the animals outside the cottage and able to feed them was a real treat. The hospitality was fantastic considering we made a last minute booking. There was a beautiful not and some fresh goodie’s for us. I would highly recommend kookaburra cottage and hope to get back this way again.

Absolutely stunning views, you walk outside the sliding doors that overlooked the pool and it is breathtaking. The house was in very clean condition. I was able to take my children to the stables that’s on the property to feed the horses, donkeys and dogs. The kangaroos came to the front of the property each morning. Honestly a 10/10. Hosts were very helpful too, were super responsive and helped me find a private chef that came out to the property. Thanks again

I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a truly unique experience. My partner and I stayed here and had an amazing time. Lynne is a fantastic host, we had a great all around stay and best of all was meeting all of the animals of the sanctuary.

What can I say other than outstanding ⭐️ great communication with Craig…we arrived to a wonderful property, classic on outside, modern and well presented on inside…the kitchen was stocked with plenty of necessary items on arrival ☑️ very clean, comfortable beds…indoor fireplace and outdoor fire-pit perfect for late autumn 🍂 right in the middle of prosecco road so easy to get to all the wonderful wineries. Would recommend and stay again in a heartbeat!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming farm – it was the perfect family getaway! The setting was peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of space for the kids to run around and explore. They were especially thrilled with the friendly animals – the dogs were incredibly sweet, the pony was a big hit, and meeting a real kangaroo was an unforgettable experience! The accommodation was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel right at home. It was such a joy to wake up to the sounds of nature and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Highly recommend this place for families looking to unplug, unwind, and give the kids a fun, hands-on experience with animals. We’ll definitely be back!

Fabulous week at Wagyu House. The outlook was stunning and very relaxing. Highly recommend a stay to get away from it all. There is a lot to offer in the region. The breakfast provisions were a welcome addition.

amazing place was great fun veronica was extremely kind and helpful will definitely be coming back

Had the most amazing stay at Jan’s airbnb. The photos of the place don’t do it justice! It was so spacious and beautiful.

Beautiful stay - cosy, inviting, comfortable. The outdoor bath was peaceful and the fire kept us nice and warm. We had a go at cooking the apple crumble using the Aga and it turned out great.
