Story by Trent
Indulgence at the Longhouse
Adventure in Elevated Plains, Macedon Ranges, VIC, AU
The Longhouse. Where to even start. Heading there with high expectations after reading countless stellar articles in esteemed architectural publications, we still weren't prepared for the truly breathtaking place that awaited us.
The Longhouse has found a striking balance between immense grandeur and cosy homeliness. Our two-bedroom accommodation was so unique, intimate and super vibrant, while the indoor garden was expansive, serene and rich with greenery, birds and butterflies.
What the articles didn’t prepare us for, was the incredible hospitality shown by hosts Ronnen and Trace. Going above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay and experienced the best the region had to offer, we were also lucky enough to have a delicious home-cooked meal with Ronnen and Trace on the second night of our stay, getting to know the inspiring people behind the inspiring place.
We loved roaming the fields with the farm animals, drinking in the awe-inspiring sunsets and eating, drinking, driving and swimming our way around the region. We feel so grateful to have experienced the way of life at the Longhouse’s farm, cooking school, hospitality venture and home....
