About this property

Felton Road Homestead Retreat a private unique place amongst vineyards

Beautiful rural and private setting amongst 2.5 hectare grounds of the original 1920’s Felton Homestead.
Idyllic retreat surrounded by vineyards, cherry orchards and an array of trees established over the last 100 years and owned by local winemakers

Perfect place to relax and unwind or swim in the lake. Wine tasting rooms on your doorstep, cycle trail is a stone’s throw away. Walk the historic gold mining DOC ‘sluicings’ track .

A unique set up with private entrance consisting of a self-contained tiny house and a 7m yurt. The two sit side by side on a raised wooden deck where you can enjoy the sunset and have a glass of wine made by the hosts who are both winemakers.
A small wood burner, heater and full insulation mean this property will keep you cosy in winter time.

The Tiny House has a kitchenette, with small 2 seater breakfast bar, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and a snug lounge area. Enjoy your coffee outside on the covered verandah.

It also has a modern bathroom with a mezzanine upstairs, that is 1/2 height with a queen size bed. Please be aware there is no hand rail for the stairs.

Lovely home base

The tiny home had everything you needed with quite a spacious bathroom, it is well furnished and cosy. The yurt provides that extra wow factor and allowed us to fully relax when back from a day trip.

Wonderful peaceful stay

We had the best time staying at LouLou’s place - it was more beautiful and peaceful than expected. It was furnished to a really high degree, there was hot water, comfortable beds and nestled in the trees made the morning sunshine so soft. We loved the wine and the suggestions - I’ve already told so many people about this spot that I’m worried I won’t be able to book it again! It was just the spot we needed to relax. Thank you so much.

Weekend getaway

We (two couples) stayed at the property in March for a weekend to visit Bannockburn and surroundings. We were pleasantly surprised with the property and yurt. It's a great size for 2 couples for a couple of nights. The location is great for visiting vineyard (walking distance to some of our favourite ones), and the broader central it ago region. Host was away when we arrived, but we could easily access the property. They greeted us when they returned later in the weekend.Will definitely visit again.
