Our stay at Iron Bark House was absolutely wonderful. The place was beautiful, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We had so much fun spending time together and enjoying the... surroundings.

The house was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a home away from home. The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful setting made our stay even more special.

We created some great memories here and would highly recommend Iron Bark House to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable escape. Our group of 13, including 3 children, had an amazing time at Iron Bark House. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the stay, and the kids especially loved the experience. It was the perfect place for our group to relax, have fun, and make wonderful memories together. We would love to come back again in the future!

We had a wonderful weekend with extended family, including 3 dogs, to share a Christmas celebration mid-December. Great location, fabulous house, beautiful surroundings. Plenty of space for meal prep, games and relaxation.

Over the last decade, Jacob and Elizabeth have transformed degraded land into a productive farm that embraces regenerative agriculture with biodiverse, native pastures. In collaboration with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners, Landcare, Melbourne Water and Grow West, we have planted over 50,000 trees and shrubs and revegetated the waterways that run through the property.

Small Town Big Heart

I really enjoyed walking the streets, admiring the local artwork and heritage buildings. Coffee and cake in the local flower store are worth a stop. You won't be able to help yourself!
