Farmstay vacation rentals in Murray River

Picturesque and historic farmhouse that felt like the middle of nowhere but close enough to Castlemaine and Bendigo. Amazing stargazing with very little light pollution and a comfortable home with everything needed. Will come back.

Just a perfect little place for a quick stopover, and some exciting scenery and animals to keep the kids entertained in the morning. We were greeted on arrival by the friendly old farm dog, who even checked up on us the next morning with lovely pats. The extra breakfast ammenities were lovely. Proper ground coffee to percolate and cute little cereals that the kids loved. Would recommend, especially for families like ours (2 kids; 2 and 5 years)

Bruce was extremely friendly towards us. He greeted us the first time we arrived and immediately started giving us recommendations on what to do around the area. Melinda was also kind enough to provide us with home-baked bread and home-made jam alongside it. It was delicious, we love the lovely hospitality provided by the couple.

Lovely little stone building with everything you need. Very cozy and warm with the fire going. Completely private and very picturesque setting. Nice to walk around the local roads and look at the historic stone houses and farms. Only a 15 minute drive to Daylesford as well.

Cute bungalow with a pretty complete kitchen. Very quiet location and the property is beautiful. Loved the fire - made the evenings toasty warm. Please note that the location is about 40-45mins from Myrtleford, and 55mins to Bright so a bit further than in description. But we still loved our stay.

We had a relaxing week at the "Shearer's Hut" quiet and beautiful scenery.

Have stayed here a couple of times and always feel really welcome by the family. Great experience.

Ron is extremely friendly and welcoming! The cabin was very homely and cozy. We had a wonderful stay.

Nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills region of Lebothel, this Airbnb is an absolute delight. The property is stunning—immaculately kept, charmingly quaint, and perfectly positioned to offer breathtaking views that make every sunrise and sunset feel magical. The attention to detail in the home is remarkable, blending warmth and elegance effortlessly. Every corner exudes comfort, making it the perfect retreat for a peaceful getaway. The breakfast provided was a wonderful touch, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients that made mornings extra special. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or a scenic base to explore the area, this spot is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

Very nice and helpful host. As in was cold, they even provided 2 extra heaters. Many interesting farm animals. Thank you

Beautiful stay on Paramoor winery. The cottage was comfortable, warm with heating and a wood-burner, and the property is really peaceful. 10 minutes drive from Kyneton, Lancefield and Woodend, and wineries. The wine at Paramoor was delicious - we had a lovely tasting with Sam. Thank you!

A little haven in the country. So peaceful and quiet and just what the doc ordered. Beautifully appointed, lovely and warm as the rain lashed down outside and comms with Genevieve were excellent. Everything was top notch and we’d highly recommend a stay here with the Roos for company!

Emily and Aaron were fantastic hosts and the property was everything and more than we had hoped for. We enjoyed feeding their goats and petting their gorgeous dog during our stay. The nights sky was clear and full or the most beautiful stars. The property was stunning and the added touches of sourdough and eggs made our mornings perfect. We were close enough to visit Castlemaine for massages, Daylesford for coffee and shopping, Kyneton for shopping and food and Trentham for delicious dinners and sightseeing. We would love to return again and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. You can do as much or as little as you want to during your stay.

It was a super functional house, with various delightful surprises!! The actual place was even better than the pictures!! Although winter, it was cozy warm with more than enough woodblock supply. It must be so much hard work to chop all these blocks either manual or mechanicals. Besides the fireplace, there were heaters in every space. It was warm in every corner. Love the old record player with fantastic modern sound amplifier. Fire place, music, loft, candles, wine and food straight out of the professional commercial kitchen, it was a beautiful country night…! There were many functional sitting areas inside and outdoor. We enjoyed the sunset and afternoon tea at the yard, watching cows chillax with us. Also it happened that Anneke was making some apple tart, we were so blessed to have some most heart melting apple tart slices…!! The bath and shower was beautiful too…!! We have to say the son of the owner is a talented builder, who created such an enjoyable space for many!

Tiny home that packs a big fun Was welcomed by the friendly Gemma and her lovely dogs, even showed us around and let us feed carrots to Daisy the cow. Though it did rain for a bit during our stay, it didnt make our experience less fun and relaxing!

This is the most perfect farm stay. The lodge was secluded and very cosy. It was lovely to have a morning coffee on the couch overlooking the hills and watching the cows and alpacas. We were obsessed with the heated flooring in the bathroom 😂. The wind was quite strong but felt warm and cosy inside. Highly recommend

an amazing place, very well furnished. A perfect holiday place, ideal for a big group. kids will love the place too. has a clean pool n a play area. Enough of indoor games n books :-) for a peaceful read, sitting with birds in the balcony overlooking the town, the cloud clad hills. would love to visit in spring /summer again. thank you, Phil.

From a warm welcome by the hosts, to a beautiful wine (supplied + made by the hosts), enjoying this by the fireplace that was elegantly prepared prior to our arrival, to the horizon of vineyards, private cellars, wine tour + taste testing by Scotty the host with the most, the gorgeous two border collies that live on the property saying hi, the plunge pool, the golf tee at the top of the hill and the simple cleanliness of the BNB itself. There was nothing this BNB did not have. Thank you so much for the stay. I have fallen in love with Tanunda. I will definitely be back!

We had a lovely stay. The place was clean, comfy, and had everything we needed. The fireplace added such a cozy touch. One of the highlights was definitely being able to get up close to the donkeys, such a special experience, Lion the cat was the friendliest cat we’ve ever met! Overall, we were really happy with our stay, and my son absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend!

I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a truly unique experience. My partner and I stayed here and had an amazing time. Lynne is a fantastic host, we had a great all around stay and best of all was meeting all of the animals of the sanctuary.

We had the best stay at The Kingsley! Our family of 7 adults stayed to celebrate my Mum’s 60th Birthday. The house was very comfortable, warm & beautifully furnished. The layout was spacious & perfect for our family. We were spoilt with the underfloor heating in the bathrooms! On arrival we were treated with some breakfast goods & a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, thoroughly enjoyed! The kitchen was very well equipped, including spices & cookbooks. The beds were comfortable & cosy. Outside, the grounds were very well kept, including a fire pit. Both the wood fire inside & the fire pit had everything needed to get them started. Thanks for a great stay!

This Farmstay was one of our favourite places that we have stayed not only in Victoria but across the various states and countries to which we have travelled. Veronica has really thought through the guest experience and has everything covered that you could think of. The surrounds and views are stunning, the interior of the property is so well done and the animals amazing (bird life, farm animals and native wildlife (especially Wally the wombat)). If anything, the property was better than expected from the photos. Veronica was the perfect balance of helpful and available, whilst respecting our privacy. It is the sort of place where you are central enough to many places to keep you busy or you can be content just staying at the property, doing very little and enjoying the spa bath. We are already planning our next visit for later this year!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful place. Can’t wait to come back! 🤍

Fiona's place was immaculate and we appreciated the attention to detail with beautiful fresh breakfast ingredients and fully equipped kitchen and condiments. It was peaceful, very private and the view is stunning. We enjoyed the proximity to great restaurants and wineries but also the comfort of staying in and relaxing. V comfy bed was a big plus.
