Bob's farm is a beautiful slice of peace and tranquillity and a wonderful place to rest and recharge. The accommodation itself is humble but comfortable and has all the basic amenities provided.
Conn...ecting with nature is very easy, I took walks around the farm and watched the sheep, listened to the birds, saw the geese go for swims in the pond. Easy to access bush walks and hikes at the national parks if you're up for a drive too.
Highly recommend.

This is the second time we've visited Bob's farm with our little family, and we absolutely love it. It's such a beauiful and peaceful little slice of earth, and we always leave feeling relaxed and ref...reshed. The kids love running around and exploring the property, making leaf boats to sail in the creek and talking to the chickens. Bob is very kind and friendly, and we will definitely be visiting again! We also love nearby walks in the Tara Bulga national park on the drive up, and pies for lunch at the Yarram bakery on the way home!

We had a lovely few days at the cottage. Before we arrived Bob kindly sent a list of things to do around the area which were great to explore. We were greeted warmly when we arrived. Bob’s farm is set... in a beautiful and peaceful spot. As it was winter we enjoyed sitting by the fire pit stargazing. Our ten year old enjoyed having the space to play with the farm dogs and their puppies. This is a great place to switch off.

Agnes Falls
About a half hour drive from Yarram, the Agnes River drops sixty metres creating a beautiful drop over many stone ledges. The surrounding grounds are well kept as a public picnic area - a delightful place for lunch. Access is from Welshpool; take the road opposite the primary school. The falls are well signposted. The falls are a 39 minute drive away.
Hiking
Superb Mountain Ash and Mrytle Beech provide a cool and sheltered environment for ferns and birdlife. Clearwater streams amble through the two parks, with a waterful and swing bring over a deep fern gully adding to the attractions. The walks are short and comfortable. There is nothing nicer than a picnic in the park be it to shelter during the heat of summer, or to enjoy the crispness of the air in winter.
Access: From Yarram via Devon North, or from Traralgon. Note the Tarra Bulga National Park - 50 minute drive away.
