Pet-friendly

Come and stay on a storybook farm, where barnyard animals and Australian native creatures get to live in paradise, and so do we. Splash in our pristine stream, take forest walks in fragrant fresh air, and tell stories by a campfire at night.

You can enjoy watching many varieties of native birds cruising in and out of the ponds to join our resident pekin ducks and pilgrim geese. Take beautiful walks around the farm and stream. A Bonnie the Border Collie will politely invite you to a game of 'fetch the stick'.

Mini Haha waterfall and swimming hole is ten minutes down the road. The farm is central to attractions such as the charming fishing village of Port Albert, Tarra Bulga National Park and its mystical fern gullies, Ninety Mile Beach and Wilson's Prom. The friendly town of Yarram is 20 km from the farm and provides a welcoming club, coffee shops, supermarkets and hotel counter meals. The cottage is a drive on a sealed road from Yarram, immersed in glorious scenery.

Dogs and pets are welcome by negotiation if they are clean, quiet, and kept on a leash while outdoors. If you have such a zero-impact pet, please get in contact Bob, and have a conversation. Prior permission is essential.
