A Sacred Nature Retreat surrounded by the Strathbogie Ranges and just 10 minutes from Lake Nillahcootie, 20 minutes to Benalla and 25 minutes to Mansfield.

Nestled in a peaceful pocket of countryside, this soulful lodge sits quietly on private acreage surrounded by the majestic Strathbogie Ranges. Just 20 minutes from Mansfield, Lima Lodge offers a restorative escape — a place to slow down, reconnect with the land, and listen deeply.

Here, the intention is clear: peace, presence, and a return to natural rhythms. If you simply rest and read by the fire, you’ll find the energy calm, clear, and inviting.

Inside, the lodge features spacious indoor-outdoor living, two queen bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and year-round comfort with a wood fire and split system. Outside, you'll find a covered deck with comfortable seating, a mounted TV, and a beautiful marble outdoor bath with hot and cold water — perfect for star bathing under wide skies.

This is a space that invites you to breathe differently. To listen inward. To settle into the beauty that surrounds you.

Cleaning really could have been improved. When we arrived within two hours we realized our socks were completely black from the floor. When we pulled back the bed sheets to get in we saw all these lit...tle bits in the bed. Bed was neatly tucked in but sheets weren't changed so we changed them.
The last morning we noticed all our food on the bench (bread, cereal) was infested with ants and had to be thrown away.
To top it off, a few days later we realized we left an expensive bottle of wine at the property. No contact was made to let us know, I'm assuming the cleaners took this.
There were positives about the place but the above override them.

Swim And Wonder At Lake Nilahcootie

I stopped for a swim and walk around the sandy edges of Lake Nillahcootie.
The Boat ramp area had heaps of easy access points for swimming and driving my van up close to the waters edge. Also there's toilets nearby and also Nilahcootie Beach was a great hang spot if you get there early to beat everyone to the good spots!

Tavern Est 1884

Stopped off for a lunchtime meal at the beautiful Tatong Tavern, established in 1884. My meal was delish and I certainly didn't need another for the rest of the day! Lots of history inside the pub to explore with a beer garden too.

A Mazing Discovery

A traditional hedge maze and garden walk to discover! Real Alice in Wonderland vibes. Great spot for a picnic or pop in for a scone and coffee at the cafe.
