Blissful Boutique Barn

'The Barn' is a comfortable, cosy and luxurious home away from home in the beautiful town of Woodend. As soon as we arrived, we were blown away by the beautifully bright and airy interior including the soaring cathedral ceilings. It didn’t take much time to settle in and enjoy the comfort and luxury on offer!

During our stay, we warmed up by the fireplace, snuggled up in the most comfortable bed, enjoyed the delightful breakfast provisions (including homemade granola, fresh eggs & bread) as well as fed the horses and chooks on the property. Gorgeous French doors led us to our private courtyard where we enjoyed relaxing with a book during the day and at dusk we warmed up by the fire pit with a bottle of wine.

We found the location to be ideal as it is within walking distance to town and a stone's throw away from beautiful scenic spots in the Macedon Ranges. There’s plenty to eat, drink and explore nearby, with Woodend being the gateway to many attractions in the region. We made the most of the autumn season by foraging wild pine mushrooms. We also explored Sanatorium Lake and Hanging Rock, just to name a couple of the nearby outdoor adventures.

The Barn is the perfect stay for a couple wishing to indulge in comfort and style with all the amenities they need. It is also a great base to explore the Macedon Ranges.
