It's not every weekend to get to stay in an old Tobacco Kiln. Dripping in history this unique stay had the country charm and relaxation we were looking for. Originally built as a garage for the local area's first T-model Ford, then later converted into a tobacco kiln. Around 100 years old now. These days the kiln houses an upstairs loft bedroom and everything else you could need for a hassle-free weekend.

Cosy and comfortable inside but just as nice outside amongst the surrounding area of the 1200 acre sheep farm. With views to the Grampians just 5 minutes out of Dunkeld. Our host Karen was warm and welcoming as she told us about the local area and history of the building.

We enjoyed the outside barbecue and warm summer evening on our first night and awaited the clear country skies full of stars.
The next morning it was bacon and eggs for breakfast and off for a hike in the southern Grampians. We relaxed in the ambience of the charming setting for the afternoon. The next day we visited Wannon Falls and stopped for brunch and coffees at Koopmans cafe. Leaving had us feeling like we spent a weekend in another time, quiet, simple and carefree.
