Pet-friendly

The Shack is an owner-built, self-contained rural retreat – rustic and homely. Situated on a small farm on the Wimmera River, only 5 minutes from Horsham, this 2-bedroomed cottage offers panoramic views of farm paddocks, dams, gum trees and the Grampians. The Shack is on private property, close to the main residence but obscured by pepper trees. There is ample parking and turning room for trailers and vans and a walking track along the Wimmera River and, of course, peace and tranquility. Dogs are welcome, but please not on any furniture or in the bedrooms. Infants in cots are free of charge but babies/toddlers using a bed are $20 extra per night. All linen and towels provided, as well as tea and coffee and lots of condiments!

I arrived in Horsham as a backpacker from the UK in 1992. Thirty-two years later, my pack consists of an Aussie hubby (who I first met in Nepal in 1988), 5 kids (now in their 20s), a farm on 250 acres, and a fun-filled and idyllic lifestyle which I love to share.

Farm Life

If you're a bit obsessed with shaggy cows (aka Highland Cows) then this is the place for you! But there's also friendly Jersey cows, the Alpacas named Salt, Pepper & Herb, two cheeky ponies, chickens that take your scraps and give you back eggs, sweet dogs and more! This is one for the kids - including the big kids!
