Relaxing stay on a beautiful property

A wonderful place to relax on 50 acres. We enjoyed the sunsets, stars and watched the bird life from the back deck. The property was amazing with beautiful old gumtrees, and lots of wildlife. We loved having a couple of daily walks. The house itself has a wonderfully relaxed feel to it with everything you need (loved the coffee machine and the lounge with the footrests). A great central place to explore Maryborough and Avoca nearby. Our dog Hugo had a great time exploring too. Will definitely return!

Place of uninterrupted history

Absolute hidden gem. Property is perfect clean (beyond standards), location and surroundings are pinnacle of „farm stay”, plenty of space, bush walks, wildlife. The most stunning is the history of the place, that alone makes staying here worth much more. I would never expect to be privilege to inside of family history by John and his meticulously arranged albums, notes, diaries etc. Mind blowing surprise and definitely worth 5 star place.

Stunning property perfect for romance or a family vacation. Or Both.

If you're looking for solitude and beautiful surrounds, look no further than this gorgeous cottage. My family and I loved walking the property with our dog during the day, and sitting by the fire and playing board games at night. This was the perfect place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Everything you could ask for was provided, so it was easy enough to cook for the family or we travelled to Avoca/Maryborough for dinner. We hope to return soon.

About the host

Hosted by John Currie

The property has been in our family since 1864 forming part of a larger farm. It came to myself on the death of an elderly Aunt. I now jointly own it with my two sons - Andrew and Michael. In 2000 we commenced building a cottage for our use and for guests as a self-catering cottage
