Beautiful Stay with Mim and the Animals!

What a beautiful few days we had on the farm. Mim is a wonderful host, providing a lovely space to relax on her gorgeous property. My daughter and I had such fun and appreciate all the good work Mim and her family do for these lucky animals. A great holiday with the money going to a great cause. Thank you Mim!

From the moment I booked till the gates opened to us and we were able to access our beautiful Studio which was cosy, had all we needed was clean with beautiful decor we were in HEAVEN. Being able to watch some of Miriam's equine charges grazing in the paddock adjacent to our studio or sit outside in our own lovely little fence garden was pure relaxation with cuppa in hand or a wine. The Estate is Beautiful, we so enjoyed our stay.I am looking at a time to return with family, utilising the family cabins also on this property. We had other friends staying there at the same time and they also raved about their accommodation. COLD and Very Wet Weather did not allow us to see all or use what this property offers BUT we BOTH were extremely impressed by the WARM WELCOME and wonderful accommodation provided by Miriam, we were HIGHLY impressed by her LOVE and PASSIONATE commitment to mainly Rescuing Horses (and other Farm animals) , healing their souls, whilst giving them a second chance to live a "LIFE free from Cruelty" BUT Full of Love, in a warm, sheltered environment with fresh water, regular food, paddocks to graze or run about in doing what horses do with more LOVE thrown in. Please allow yourself the chance to stay here children are well provided for and Miriam is wonderful in ensuring that ALL are catered for.

We love this place so much, Miriam was a wonderful host and her farm tour was informative, our daughter loved it. We are glad the funds help go towards these beautiful rescued horses, that Miriam is so passionate about. a refreshing getaway,being greated by the horses in the mornings were a highlight. we ended not really going anywhere else because it was so relaxing. The place is clean and modern. Cant wait to go again. Highly reccommend, perfect for families.

Our stay in Tyabb for my husbands birthday

The property is very clean and very similar to the pictures. We had a great stay and Miriam was a great host. There was a heated pool that we enjoyed swimming in and on our last night there, we lit a fire and sat by the fire. Miriam was super accommodative and tried her best to make our stay pleasant. It was lovely to see the farm animals as well and it was a great stay which was different. It was my husbands birthday and upon request, the cottage was decorated nicely. Thank you for a pleasant stay, will recommend this place for sure! 😊

What a magical and healing place!

The second you arrive at Willindi you know you are somewhere very special. Harmony Cottage is a pristinely clean and luxurious little cottage in the centre of a glorious farm, the likes of which I’ve only ever experienced in the south of France. The entire place is landscaped with hedges of roses and lavender, the animals are beautiful & friendly and the heated pool is amazing. Miriam, the host, is an absolute delight and a gracious host, she showed me around the farm and let me meet all the animals she has rescued. I feel so privileged to have stayed here and experienced such a life-affirming stay. I will return.

Wonderful peaceful property

I had wonderful stay in the harmony cottage right on the edge of the the horse paddock. A lovely peaceful place to stay. Beautifully maintained, clean and modern. Miriam was delightful and the farm tour was a highlight and learning about the property and rescue horse was fascinating. Highly recommend staying for a quiet getaway we will return.

Cute, Cosey and homely

Such an amazing little get away, the property was A-MAZING, the hosts were so friendly and helped with recommendations for local food and offered a tour of the farm. So cosey and clean, easy check in process. My favourite part of this little home is waking up in the morning, opening the curtains and watching the horses having some breakfast.

We stayed here the night of our wedding and loved it so beautiful, very relaxing, and very good communication. The only thing which wasn’t amazing was we couldn’t get food out to the cottage and there wasn’t food for us to buy at the cottage either. We were starving as we forgot to eat at the wedding but we had to stick it out till the next day. Overall very good stay…. pack snacks though 😂

Amazing!

Perfection start to finish! The property is as picturesque in person as it is in the listing - if not more so. Miriam was wonderfully accomodating and accessible throughout our stay. She was knowledgable and generous with her time - giving us and our children the full 'farm life' experience. We created lasting memories at Wilindi Estate and would absolutely visit again.

A horses and Hamptons delight

As the hardwood gates opened to welcome us into the manicured gardens and peaceful energy of this picturesque property, we were thrilled with our choice to book Wilindi estate. Only three brand new Hampton-style cottages are located on the grounds, yet all are positioned away from each other to ensure privacy and quiet; the only sounds were that of the kookaburras laughing, horses snuffling at our window and chooks clucking ‘Good Morning’ at our door.😊 The kids were invited to gather freshly laid eggs with the lovely Miriam, who’s kind hospitality made us feel relaxed immediately, and later to join her on a farm tour to meet the horses she has rescued and is nursing back to good health with the help of her veterinary team. With a stunning and secure solar-heated pool for afternoon dips, Wilindi Estate is a gorgeous choice for a romantic escape or family getaway. Accommodation bookings aid to fund the vet care of the horse rescue clinic, Herd Harmony, and guests can get amongst it in a fun, safe and wholesome farm life experience. Thank you Miriam for all you’re doing, and for the little things you did for us that has given us some big beautiful memories.
