A Mansfield Scenic Cottage Farm Stay
Adventure in Mansfield, High Country, VIC, AU
Nestled among the foothills of the Victorian Alps lies BullaRoo Cottage, an unforgettable farm stay experience that will leave you relaxed, fulfilled, and smiling from ear to ear. Walking into the cottage, we were greeted with a pleasantly warm room with a picturesque view, a premade fireplace, and an army of the cutest little pygmy goats just outside the living room.
The very first thing we did was introduce ourselves to the little goats along with Vickie and Ed who own the farm. They were kind enough to let us feed and play with the goats, so our hearts were won over instantly.
The living space is so cozy and welcoming, we spent hours just sitting by the fireplace with a warm hot choccie in hand staring at the view of the hills.
The outdoor fireplace and hot tub hut overlooking the hillside is something else completely, it has such a relaxing vibe to it. With hot water available for the bathtub, we spent hours on the cold days in comfort. The hut also has drop-down blinds so you can close it all up at night and enjoy some wine and a cheese platter while playing one of the many board games supplied – such a great way to feel connected with the surrounding nature.
The Mansfield Hotel was our go-to spot in town which is only a short drive away, with incredible parmas, all the classics on tap, and a pool table in the front, all the boxes are ticked.
