Pet-friendly
We like to think of it as a rural warehouse! Hidden behind the rough sawn timber exterior of our American style timber barn you will find a light and bright welcoming space. It has everything you could wish for! Comfy place to eat, relax and unwind! Step outside the barn doors and wander around the 6 acre property.
Inside "The Barn" you will find yourself relaxing in no time! You will find a cosy lounge area with comfy couches, wood fireplace, large coffee table perfect for boardgames and a flatscreen TV. Large kitchen area with fridge & freezer, small portable electric oven, two hot plates, microwave, kettle & toaster as well as a small hooded gas BBQ outside. 6 seater timber dining table in the dining area. A growing library where you can pull up a chair and get lost in the many books. Upstairs in the mezzanine you will find the main bedroom with super comfortable queen size bed and lounge area. To make yourself comfortable you will find large chest of drawers, clothes rail and sideboard for your bags. The second sleeping area (queen bed) is in the downstairs area. Attached to the outside of the barn is the bathroom complete with hot shower, basin, mirror & hairdryer. The toilet is located in separate outhouse, as we are not on town water and sewer, the toilet is a composting toilet - but dont let hat put you off - its quiet luxurious. Outside you will find multiple tables and chairs including up by the dam.
NB fire restrictions exist during warmer months so lighting outdoor fires during this period is strictly prohibited.
We do try our best but as it is a timber barn in the country sometimes dust or cobwebs are missed by our cleaners.

Pets are welcome at the barn - but we must be advised prior.
Strictly no pets on furniture or upstairs in the mezzanine.
They must be toilet trained and any outside mess must be placed into the bins.

Strictly no events or commercial activities including but not limited to photography permitted without prior consent and additional fees paid. Please contact us to discuss.

As of December 2024 we now have added 5.2kw airconditioner in lounge area, as well as existing large evaporative cooler and fans.

Born in Byron and living in melbourne for 20 years I have a love for good food, good wine and everything the victorian countryside has to offer! If we aren't exploring the outdoors - you'll find me at my cafe in North Melbourne!

Homely and delicious is all I can say. We enjoyed chicken and leek filo parcels and finger licking fried chicken. Arguably the best coffee in town!
