About this property

Stone Creek Cottage Farmstay

A perfect stay for couples and families up to 6 people close to Mt Buller & the King Valley wineries or just stay at the property & take in the breathtaking views from the beautiful wrap-around verandah. Price based on 2 people sharing a bed with additional beds $60 pp pn. Infants must be booked as children. Escape to the Country & discover this hidden gem!

This charming private colonial-style stone cottage featuring established gardens provides the comforts of home with all the essential modern conveniences you would need to enjoy a relaxing getaway, close to Mt Buller and the Victorian snowfields as well as Mansfield & King Valley wineries.

This beautiful hideaway features breathtaking views, stunning sunsets & starry nights on 24 acres of private country setting, all within 15 minutes of Mansfield. There’s plenty for the kids to do while you sit back, relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery and quietness of the country.

Come and meet our friendly Pygmy goats and say hello to our newest team members Chiquita, Can Can & Rumberella our gorgeous alpacas!

Fully self-contained with 3-bedrooms, offering 2 queen beds & 2 singles. Fireplace & Air-con. Discover this hidden gem at the gateway to Victoria’s High Country!

The property is in an ideal location, less than 15 minutes to Mansfield township and only 25 minutes to the entrance of Mt Buller and the Victorian snowfields.

During the winter months if you let us know what time you will be arriving, we can make sure the fire is lit, the lights are on and the cottage is lovely & warm for your arrival. All you have to do is sit back and relax!

The variety of animals that live on the farm are a real hit with our guests. Hand-feeding is the best way to get to know them, especially the alpacas and miniature Pygmy goats. As a Pygmy stud farm we also have baby Pygmy goats who love cuddles!!!

Also nearby is the awe-inspiring road to the King Valley wineries-within half an hour you are at Powers Lookout which really is a sight to behold from the Ned Kelly era. There is also a short nature walk at the site of the lookout which guides you around boulders through well-maintained paths.

There's plenty to do

...relax on the deck with a freshly brewed coffee or choose from a variety of different teas whilst reading the newspaper, a magazine or book.

...sip a wine or two and enjoy a platter on the deck overlooking the ever-changing landscape of the Mansfield Valley, surrounded by beautiful established gardens and watching the kids play in their own private garden complete with climbing rope and tyre swing.

...or enjoy a well-deserved holiday beer whilst listening to your favourite music via the Bluetooth dock, watching kangaroos and experiencing the best sunsets ever, followed by an awesome star-filled sky!

...take a beautifully scenic walk down to the cascades of the Broken River at the bottom of the property, hand-feed our pet alpacas and miniature goats whilst spotting native animals.

...or just simply snuggle up on the comfy couches in front of the cosy fireplace and be mesmerised by the magic of the flames.

However you like it, we look forward to hosting you.

What an amazing location. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, they showed us around and we were able to play and feed the baby goats. The scenery was absolutely amazing with views right across the valley and hills. We saw Kangaroos, native birds, goats, Alpacas and even an echidna taking a stroll. The house had everything we needed from heating to amenities to entertainment for a young family. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a peaceful getaway in aussie bush/farm near the ski slopes.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation. The room was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. Ed and Vickie were friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Perfect for family staycation during winter while staying cozy in the fireplace. Great for kids as they have farm and lots of animals to see. We love how Vickie and Ed greeted us and accomodated extra people, we felt like we are family! Thanks so much for sharing your property to us and the inpiring stories about how the vision of your farm begun.

The family and I had a fantastic time. even on the days that the weather didn't play ball, we had a cozy time with the fireplace while playing board games and watching the lovely scenery. Vicky and Ed were so obliging, giving us an in-depth tour with the friendly animals. My daughters loved the goats and Alpacas, which we pretended were Lamas. I can't wait for our return visit later in the year. Five Stars!!!

My wife and I decided to spend our 10 year anniversary staying at the Stone Creek Cottage and it was an amazing experience. Both Vickie and Ed are amazing people and such hospitable hosts. The cottage was so lovely and had everything you needed with Vickie still checking in on us to make sure. As well as giving us plenty of recommendations of things to do and see in this lovely part of the world. Scenic views, cozy cottage with two amazing fire places during the cold weather and plenty of animal friends. The location is 15-20 minutes from town and is easily accessible. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Vickie and Ed for making it such a lovely experience! -Ned and Nada

A beautiful cottage in a lovely spot

This is a beautiful and very clean stone cottage in an absolutely stunning location. There were 3 of us, using 2 bedrooms, and we were very comfortable. It had all the facilities we could want, including a nice wood heater (which we used because we had a couple of chilly nights). Highlights were: * Big range of outdoor seating locations and options * Very clean, new BBQ * Stunning views * Beautiful gardens * Watching baby goat antics from the balcony Vickie and Ed were very welcoming and friendly hosts, and have done a great job in turning this into a wonderful place to spend a few days. If you want to be within walking distance of cafes and shops then this is not for you, but if you'd love to get away and enjoy some comfortable peace and quiet while being blown away by high country views we can absolutely recommend Stone Creek Cottage at View to a Hill.

Unique farm stay

We had a fantastic time here and arrived a few days after several baby goats had been born. We were able to hold them, feed them and watch them from our accommodation. The hosts were very generous with their time and so helpful. The property is unique and only 20 mins from Mansfield. Cottage was very cosy and comfortable.

Perfect winter getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Vickie & Ed's cottage. The view was spectacular and the home was well equipped for our family of 4. Our daughter's loved exploring the property and helping Ed to feed the pygmy goats. A short drive into town or a great base for skiing Mt Buller like us.

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Van der Hoeven

Host profile image
When we lived together in London in the late 1990s my now husband Ed & I had a shared dream of running our own accommodation in Australia. We moved here in 2003, bought our property a year later & after years of dedicated building & landscaping and lots of hard work, it has taken us until 2017 to realise that dream but we are now open for business & loving it!

What we have created in Barwite is more than we could ever have imagined to be possible & we are looking forward to this next chapter in our lives along with our two beautiful children.

We are very proud of what we have achieved & are happy now it is all established. We are very much looking forward to hosting you and sharing our dream property with you.

Why they chose this property

We chose to set up our accommodation in Barwite, Mansfield because of it's location to year-round opportunities for guests to enjoy the variety of seasons and all they have to offer - whether it is skiing on the mountain (only 25 min drive to Mt Buller), swimming or fishing in the lakes and rivers, cycling the area or visiting the local attractions such as the maze, the zoo and the awe-inspiring lookouts, there is something for everyone. As well as the wineries, breweries, cafes and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Everything you see on the property has been built, placed or grown by us. It has taken a long time to establish, but we feel we are at a point now where we can enjoy what we have created and now are able to share the property with others for a special holiday experience.
