We were a group of families with kids and had a wonderful time here. Great scenery, good location and enough equipments to enable you to have a nice and relaxing getaway.
The place was a brilliant fit for our family - plenty of room to do everything indoors. Location was nice and close to everything. Would go again in the future
This place was perfect for tor the family and i to get ready for our cousins wedding and have a great family weekend. Close to the wineries and our wedding location. Deffinetly a place we will go back to!
Wonderful rural location but only 8 mins to town.
The accomodation was great. We had a great stay. Lots of board games supplied. Good kitchen and well stocked.
Highly recommend this place
We were completely delighted with our stay! The Barn is beautifully set on a farm, and we loved seeing kangaroos and rabbits right outside. It was convenient and well-equipped with all the essentials, including BBQs, which made our two-night stay even more enjoyable. Above all, its cleanliness made us feel comfortable and right at home.
We had a wonderful 3 nights sharing this property with another family. The 4 young children adored the 2 goats & horse, loved playing outdoors and the house layout was fantastic. The fireplace kept the whole house super warm during the middle of winter and we were close to Healesville town and many wineries. Would highly recommend!
If you're looking for that country feel, with kangaroos and kookaburras outside your door, farm animals as neighbours, toasty fires, beautiful outlook, the barn is an awesome spot. Spotlessly clean, warm and comfy in the middle of winter, plenty of space for a big family, but easily accessible to the Healesville and Yarra Valley attractions nearby, this was a great stay, especially with an overseas guest. Super responsive hosts too! Highly recommend.
The place was very clean and spacious, had all the amenities listed really anything you could need when you’re away if you forgot something. Beautiful landscape and great outdoor setting to sit and relax whilst watching the farm animals near the barn.
Hosts were very prompt in all correspondence. The barn was very well prepared for us, and lived up to all expectations.
Would recommend to friends and family.
Awesome place. We had a family catch up organised & it was just the perfect place. It was even more special as we had a family tragedy a couple of weeks before, so coming together was so special. The Barn had so much room & situated in a beautiful, peaceful location. It had everything possible thing you need to cater for a large group. Alison & Ross were amazing hosts & could not do enough for us. If you are visiting this beautiful part if Victoria, I would definitely recommend this accommodation. We will be back!
We rented this house to get ready for our wedding in the local area. The house fit our whole bridal party of 8 comfortably, and there was plenty of space for getting ready, including hair and makeup.
The property also has plenty of space for parking, which makes it great for having vendors attend the house. Not to mention, the surrounding grounds make for perfect photos!
We would highly recommend staying at this property if you are getting ready for a wedding, or even just for a quiet weekend away with friends. Thank you so much to Alison and Ross for your hospitality :)
The Barn was clean, welcoming and perfect for the needs of two families. The kids particularly loved the horse in the back paddock! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful property and a lovely stay for our family.
We spent the Easter weekend at The Barn. The house is very clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our family. The kids loved feeding the horse and goats and had lots of fun playing in the hammock.
Healesville is beautiful. We hope to return soon.

Serene beautiful views. Clean accommodation with all amenities you need
We are so glad we chose this property. Perfect views day and sunset. We had everything we needed, especially the coffee machine. Clean and perfect supply of clean linen and towels. The serenity is amazing. The resident animals put on the charm. Perfect for the preparation of our son's wedding. It was the most relaxed day and having the celebration at Riverstone winery, so close made the traveling zero stress level. Will recommend this property to all my family and friends

Close to wineries
This was the best location for our girls weekend away. It was close to many wineries and the Barn was clean, had all the facilities we needed and we even had Coco the horse to greet us as the sun rose in the morning!

Great place for Rest & recreation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here with friends. Very peaceful with friendly horse and ram and kangaroos coming out in the evening. Very well equipped kitchen. lovely bedrooms, comfy beds and large dining lounge plus nice outdoor area with BBQ. Great place to base yourself to explore the many sights around Healesville.
