Farmstay holiday rentals in South-East Melbourne

We keep coming back to the Farm Cottage because we love the peaceful setting, comfortable accommodation, excellent location, feeding the animals with James in the mornings, and playing with Zeus the sheepdog. It was our fourth visit and we are already planning another stay! A huge thank you to Michelle and James for welcoming us back again, and for being such wonderfully hospitable and kind hosts.

We had a wonderful weekend away at Will's Wonderland. Will was very accommodating and helpful during our stay, provided plenty of information on local activities and places to eat. We had opportunities to feed the animals on the farm. Will was also kind enough to provide bacon, eggs, milk, butter and cheese in the fridge. The accommodation was clean and kept warm during the colder nights with Central heating and a split system on the ground floor. I would definitely recommend coming back. Thank you Will for a welcoming and wonderful stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Matt’s beautiful cottage near the Yarra Valley. Even though it was raining during our visit, the stunning views from the cottage more than made up for it — it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage was cosy, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — a clean bathroom, washer and dryer, Netflix, and even a Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. Sarah was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special highlight for my son was getting to meet their adorable family pony, Little Penny — such a sweet touch that made our stay even more memorable. We truly appreciated the tranquility of the surroundings and would highly recommend this lovely spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Great location, easy access to some great wineries and a wonderful place to relax.

A lovely homely feel accomodation in a picturesque peaceful location. Walkable to winery and general store just down the road where you stay is a bonus. Ballnaring 5 min drive for restaurants. Thank you for a relaxing stay.

A great spot with Views, Privacy and Space. Lots to do and central to the Mornington Peninsula. We had three family’s share the space for a birthday weekend and enjoyed the fireplace, open kitchen, vineyard walk, baloneys and great amenities. I would defiantly recommend and stay again. Perfect for a large group.

A quiet and beautiful retreat, tucked away from the main road and pleasantly private. Daylight filtered through the open living and dining area, which was lovely to enjoy. A stones throw from Balnarrings local village and a great central point to all the wineries near by. Beth was lovely and very responsive and treated us with a little breakfast goodies, including the most delightful home made jam I have ever tasted! . The space was super clean and well equipped with all the necessities including toiletries, towels kitchen utensils etc. Would definitely book this stay again! thank you Beth

The host was very respectful and responsive to our questions and requests.

What a wonderful and comfortable stay! This cabin felt like a true home away from home. Everything was clean and thoughtfully arranged, making our visit incredibly easy and relaxing. The host was exceptionally helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. We truly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it!

I couldn’t recommend this place more! From the moment we arrived we felt right at home, with such a beautiful place, we were in awe from the moment we stepped foot outside. It was such a relaxing, comfortable stay! Every details of Helen’s cabin had been thought about and put a smile on our faces! Genuinely a place we didn’t want to leave!

Adrienne had been a great host, v responsive when we need any help. We requested for more match sticks at night and her children delivered it almost immediately! appreciate it! and her house was amazing, super nice view and a place for us to recharge and rest. And the kangaroos was a bonus, my girl was super excited when she see so many kangaroos jumping around.. Will be back again if we visit Melbourne.. Thank you for the beautiful memories, away from the hectic city life with an amazing scenery..

Had a wonderful week at Willow Gum Cottage. A great central spot on Mornington Peninsular. Also a great spot to stay away from the hustle and bustle but within a close drive to everything. The cottage was cosy and homely beautiful and clean and had everything you could want and more. Will definitely recommend to family and friends. Greg and Jane were fabulous hosts. We were left a lovely note and snacks on our arrival and of course there was the Alpacas Zeus and Rocketman to welcome us each day.

My family and I had a wonderful stay in Balnarring. The house is stunning - surrounded by beautiful gardens and scenery and the interior design is amazing! We had a few infants and a toddler and the house was well equipped for our needs. We especially loved the animals and the home-grown preserved food!

The property was beautiful! Very peaceful getaway and lots to do in the towns around the area. The house was really clean, and the bath was a great addition 🙂

Tiny home that packs a big fun Was welcomed by the friendly Gemma and her lovely dogs, even showed us around and let us feed carrots to Daisy the cow. Though it did rain for a bit during our stay, it didnt make our experience less fun and relaxing!

This is the most perfect farm stay. The lodge was secluded and very cosy. It was lovely to have a morning coffee on the couch overlooking the hills and watching the cows and alpacas. We were obsessed with the heated flooring in the bathroom 😂. The wind was quite strong but felt warm and cosy inside. Highly recommend

We had such a fantastic stay. The house is so thoughtfully pieced together and Tricia was such an accomodating host. Heater on got arrival, bottle of wine from the winery next door and offered flexibility with checking in and out. Fantastic property and host!

Fran was amazing and friendly. The right entertainment was provided for our kids. Also had perfect recommendations for the winery on the property. We had a great time during our stay.

We enjoyed 3 nights at Azalea’s well appointed cottage. Azalea was very kind and clear in her communications. Love the breakfast basket, my kids love the giant trampoline, and we all miss the dogs Sandy and Cheddar very much. Short drive to puffing Billy. We will love to stay here again.

My husband, myself and our 4 adult children stayed at Lavender Farm. When first arriving we were greeted by their friendly dogs. Jacky had made a delicious cake and fresh bread plus farm fresh eggs and bacon ready for breakfast the next morning. It made us feel right at home. The farm is beautiful as is the accommodation. Tony (the host) was very friendly and helpful. The town itself has everything you need. Healesville is a lovely place to stay. I would highly recommend Lavender Farm.

Had a lovely weekend at Brylinbrook. The setting is gorgeous and our daughter loved feeding the chickens and walking around the farm. There's also a sand pit and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. The apartment above the stables is as pictured with everything you could need (log fire a huge bonus for cooler nights). Brian and Rhonda are wonderful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

We stayed at hoddles creek air bnb for two nights for our 8 year anniversary. We absolutely loved it! The hosts were great, harley was very friendly, accommodation was wonderful and peaceful. It was so nice to be around nature, wildlife, being around the farm animals was wholesome too. Harley was a great guide around the property, he made us feel very welcome 🤗 Ushering us out at the gate and waiting for us to come back in. Our doggos loved having a friend patrolling near our place. Thank you for having us Marijke and Jon, the farm experience was awesome too! Cows are super friendly and used to people, the sheep were funny and sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fireplace was a highlight too. We will be coming back for sure.

Modern house with a very nice outlook. Highly recommend this house.

Rose and her husband were gracious and warm hosts. The place is spacious, clean and warm with a stunning private garden. We will definitely be back
