Perfect accommodation for a reunion of friends at White House Farm

Liz, Matt & Edward were perfect hosts and provided everything we needed and more. This is a perfect spot for getting away with friends, starting with massage at Piaf Day Spa, shopping at Healesville and wineries nearby. Back home to White House Farm to enjoy the beautiful deck and wildlife before lighting a fire. Overwhelmed by the variety and amount of breakfast provisions, comfortable beds and kitchen supplies. Highly recommended!

Great spot for a family holiday

We had a great time at the White House - it was well located and had everything we needed for our stay. The breakfast provisions were extremely generous and greatly enjoyed by all. Our only quibbles were that the heating could be improved and it was unclear that access to the largest room was separate from the main house. The mattresses are very firm which will suit some people and not others. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and would recommend a stay at this lovely property.

A beatiful and well appointed getaway perfect for the whole family or groups of friends.

My family and I had a reunion weekend at the beautiful White House. It had recently been renovated and was lovely and stylish. The hosts were very welcoming and provided an excellent breakfast. The property is on large block of land with one other rental residency and the also the hosts own residence. This however was not in anyway a problem as each residence was very private and you really felt you had the place to yourself. It is about a 10 min drive to Healesville and surrounded by lots of lovely trees! I would highly recommend this property to anyone and would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous Hosts

Arrived 5.30pm on Friday night to find a roaring fire and a warm and inviting house. Breakfast provisions were excellent (bacon, eggs, tomato, mushroom, milk, juice, yoghurt etc.,) and likewise the pantry stocked with all the basics, various cereals and granola, condiments, food wraps etc. Beds were comfy with quality linens. Hosts Liz and Matt very hospitable. Entertaining watching the goats helping with the hedge landscaping in the morning, and two very cute dwalf donkeys in the paddock across the drive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, cozy farm stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the White House! Matt was so kind to drive us around the property on our first day and show us all of the animals and beautiful views. Our kids adored getting to pet the animals, and the owners really went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, including making sure we kept a roaring fire going during the cold days and nights. We really enjoyed our trip and would recommend it!

A little piece of heaven.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly smile. The cottage is set in a beautiful surroundings of tree's and nature. The wood fire was already alight to warm us. The cottage has so much character and in every room the attention to detail is perfect. From the most comfy beds to the art displayed and a fridge full of yummy fresh foods for breakfast. Thank you so much to Liz and Matt for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We highly recommend to all.

Excellent property and the best hosts

We had a terrific stay at the White House, the property was spacious, clean and well equipped. The kids were thrilled with the farm animals and they have officially crowned Liz as their favourite person after but one but two rides on the tractor. Matt and Liz were great hosts and were super friendly and accommodative throughout our entire stay. We cant wait to be back. Thanks alot Liz & Matt!

Great for preschooler/ primary kids

A 10min drive from Healesville, this property is adjacent to the owners home. Who are very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely tour of the property and met the goats, ram, alpacas, donkeys, chickens, bees (too cold for them to come out) and ducks. But the highlight was the food forest for the kiddies. They foraged for berries and even took a big zucchini back to the house to cook. Host (Ed) took the time to explain how the food grows etc. The place is neat and clean - functional is how I would describe it. Kitchen is fully kitted with all the crockery and cooking utensils you’d ever need. The pantry / fridge was generously filled for breakfast... for the week! The Telstra TV remote only allowed up and down buttons so we couldn’t select any apps. But we had our laptop and phones so could watch movies in the evening. They have good 5G wifi on the property. Gum boots are a must.

Wonderful family holiday house.

What a beautiful setting and welcoming hosts. A beautiful area with so much to do although I could have happily just stayed in the house and walked around the farm. My nine year old grandson voted it the ‘best house ever’. Feeding the birds was a highlight and we even saw an echidna wandering by. A well stocked kitchen with a range of breakfast supplies and so much space. Really hope we make it back one day.
