Birch Creek Farm & Cottages invites you to come and stay with us at The Mavis.
Embraced by rolling fields and native gum trees, our two adjoining cottages offer a beautiful country retreat in the heart of our working farm - goats, cattle, alpacas and a few busy beehives. The farm is tucked into the foot of the Mornington Peninsula Hinterland, only minutes away from the front bay beaches and a short drive from the rugged coastline and waves of the Peninsula back beaches. In all directions you will find a bounty of cafes, independent stores, markets, wineries, restaurants and walks to enjoy.

Additional Information
The Mavis at Birch Creek offers the perfect cosy getaway for two. With an abundance of natural light, the cottage is bright throughout the seasons with an open fireplace to keep you toasty and warm in the winter months. Enjoy the outdoors with a stroll around the grounds and farm, relax near the dam or under the trees in our little park tucked away between the paddocks. Take in the sunset with a glass of wine in the open deck bath tub as you look out to undisturbed countryside - and the goats of course.
Please note that this cottage does adjoin our other cottage accomodation offering, The June. We have done a lot of work to ensure minimal noise travel between the two cottages and it goes without saying that the outdoor baths are private from each other!
Birch Creek is the home of our goat stud Southern Peninsula Boers and as such we have a strict no pets policy, thank you.
If you would like to book both our Mavis & our June cottages (a perfect weekend away for family and friends, sleeping a total of 6 people) please use the 'ask a question' button and I can put an offer together for you.

We really enjoyed our weekend stay and especially loved the beautiful view out the back, it was the perfect setting for a relaxed breakfast with the delicious sourdough bread suppliedby the hosts. We ...also really appreciated being able to have a cosy fire inside to have a relaxed evening in front of.
The only things that detracted from our stay a little bit was that the mattress on the bed was extremely soft, to the extent that we sunk down into it. Obviously mattress comfort is subjective, but we found it uncomfortable and it did affect our quality of sleep.
There was also a constant drip from the shower, which could be heard clearly from the bedroom at night. In addition, the bathroom door would not close properly when the fan was running, meaning we had to choose between ventilation and privacy.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and hope this feedback is helpful, as addressing these small comfort and maintenance items would make the experience even better for future guests.

G'Day,
We are Caitlyn and Nick, your friendly Horticulturist, Industrial Designer, chair maker, spoon carving, goat farming, rental cottage hosts! Caitlyn originally is from the Yarra Valley whilst Nick was born and raised down here on the sunny Mornington Peninsula. We have been on the farm now since early 2017, turning a long time dream into a reality, one never ending list of jobs at a time!
We love calling the farm here in Dromana, with our menagerie of animals, home and with a pretty decent mental library of local knowledge we are always happy to share recommendations on restaurants, wineries, breweries, coffee shops, local artists, makers, coastal/bush walks and drives.
We hope to have you stay one day soon!

Here are some details about the adventures nearby. Refer to the map for their location.
Red Hill Rail Trail
A short 20-minute drive from the Accom, you will find the Red Hill Rail Trail, great for a cooler day. Walk beneath the Pine trees and see where it takes you.
Main Ridge Dairy
DId someone say cheese? Specialising in Chevre', Main Ridge Dairy is a cute little eatery with fresh tastings, local produce and more friendly goats to say hi to.
Lunch Wine At Merricks General Wine Store
A very country cottage vibe spot to grab a mid day glass of wine and lunch, the cosy fireplace on a cold winters day is super nice! Open 7am-4pm.
Mossy Willow Farm
By far the most adorable grocery store we've experienced in our lives. Set amidst the farm's lush green acres, an old timber barn houses the day's fresh produce foraged from the land itself. Fairy lights throw just enough light for you to wander mindfully, collecting your greens in wicker baskers or enjoy a hearty bowl of soup cooked on the fire.
