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.

My sister and I had the pleasure of taking our mother away for a weekend and mum summarised it best: “Given we had only 1 day to visit ‘ Frida Kahlo In her own Image ‘ our stay at Jamar Lodge has been too short. Apart from the home comforts and top notch fitted kitchen, the Lodge is superbly sited to command the expansive views of the Sheep Station . Rising with the Sun streaming through the living room shutters, our alfresco brunch in the garden was a sure highlight . Looking foward to return for a much longer stay.” Maree was also very warm and welcoming and definitely recommend the stay.

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.

Beautiful location that we and our dog loved. So peaceful and relaxing - the perfect way to escape the city for a couple of days. And the cottage itself was super cute but had everything we needed.

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.

My husband and I stayed for a long weekend and absolutely loved it. The unit was the perfect base for hikes in the Cathedral Ranges State Park, which is a 5 minute drive away, and for drives into the neighbouring towns of Alexandra and Marysville. We had everything we needed. The unit was stylishly and thoughtfully equipped, and we felt right at home. We were welcomed by Dave on arrival, despite arriving late in the evening. We highly recommend this place!

Such a great comfortable place to stay. Has everything you need and super easy to find. Loved that the place had no WIFI as you got to enjoy old school DVDs and live the simple life again. Comfortable bed and great hot showers!

Helen and Craig are both very lovely hosts. They provided clear instructions to the property and offered great local recommendations. The house was spotlessly clean and smelled like a brand-new home. The bed was super comfy, and the place had everything needed for a comfortable stay. They also ensure we were warm enough, which was much appreciated during the cold weather. I would definitely return when visiting Mt Buller or Mansfield!

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!

Loved our stay at the cottage, wonderful property, hosts and location. Highly recommended.

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.

What can I say other than outstanding ⭐️ great communication with Craig…we arrived to a wonderful property, classic on outside, modern and well presented on inside…the kitchen was stocked with plenty of necessary items on arrival ☑️ very clean, comfortable beds…indoor fireplace and outdoor fire-pit perfect for late autumn 🍂 right in the middle of prosecco road so easy to get to all the wonderful wineries. Would recommend and stay again in a heartbeat!

The location was perfect for a weekend touring the Barossa. We enjoyed the use of the fire pit and outdoor spa in the spacious outdoor area with spectacular views. The large blankets were a thoughtful addition.

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

Fabulous week at Wagyu House. The outlook was stunning and very relaxing. Highly recommend a stay to get away from it all. There is a lot to offer in the region. The breakfast provisions were a welcome addition.

amazing place was great fun veronica was extremely kind and helpful will definitely be coming back
