Cosy for winter
We took our cavoodle and it was perfect, we felt safe opening the door and letting him roam at his will, we even had the owners dog come to say hi and ask for him for a play date 😊. We went during the colder months so had the fire on the whole time, ample firewood is provided. House was beautiful, large rooms and comfy bed, and just so quiet. We definitely plan to return. Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Karina & Bob

Host profile image
Having reached that time in life when the kids have grown up and moved out, we asked ourselves "what next"? After a life time of living in wonderful Melbourne (other than stints overseas and interstate), we decided it was time for a "tree change". Where the air is clear, the night sky bright with stars, where we hear birds and frogs rather than traffic, and where our gaze is only interrupted by mountains and trees. A place where time slows down and we can connect more deeply with people and nature. And where we can share our piece of paradise with guests looking for some respite from the everyday bustle of life.

Why they chose this property

Only an hour or so out of Melbourne, just a few minutes drive from the delightful township of Healesville, we are perfectly located in the middle of the Yarra Valley and the myriad attractions it offers to visitors. Harvest Farm itself is simply one of the most scenic and idyllic places. The expansive ornamental and vegetable gardens, the sounds of our chickens, ducks, cows and sheep calling to each other, the majestic trees and mountain views, and the privacy afforded to our guests in their own self-contained cottages, make this a place that is truly unique.
