About this property
Andana Executive Country Retreat
NOTE: Despite bushfires on 9th January 2026, Andana and the township of Yarck is open for business, as are nearby towns, with cafés, pubs and local producers welcoming visitors as always. Staying at Andana also supports the local community as it recovers, something that is genuinely appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The accommodation has 3 separate components for different size groups and budgets. Each has own access with Kitchen, living area and bathrooms.
The property's 3 component;s total a massive 70 plus squares. The wrap around verandah will take this to a huge 120 plus squares. That is well over 1200 square metres. The property will impress with it's size and fit-out.
In order to describe the property and the various living areas that can be rented we refer to 3 components being:
1. House 2. Apartment 3. Unit
Details are as follows. Link here to see floor-plan.
NOTE 1: The standard minimum booking is up to 10 people and this provides the house component with 5 bedrooms. If you require more space to be opened up for larger numbers or just due to people requiring own room that is possible but come with additonal cost. Apologie stayz/vbro calculator does not do the calcs. There is too many permutations of opening up addiitonal rooms, or just setting up extra beds in the space you are after. Hence best to provide your requirements, on number of couples (or people willing to share a bed), number of singles (adults or children) requiring own room/space or this willing to share a room where king single beds supplied. Also provide number of infants under 2 if relevant. I can then make a recomendtion on options and quote accordingly.
NOTE 2: During weekday (Sunday through Thursdy nights), non-peak periods I may rent just the apartment or unit only to a smaller number of people at reduced cost. Reach out and ask for a quote.

This place is incredible. For anyone who is looking for a spacious and comfortable place near Yarck, this is your go to! Andrew (Host) is very responsive and helpful, and he will make your stay hassle free! Must book!
The house was very large, clean and comfortable with a great yard for dogs. Communication was excellent. Having alpacas in the next paddock was an added bonus.
The house was perfect for a large extended family to stay in whilst in the area for a family wedding. Andrew was accommodating to our requests and easy to communicate with. A beautiful house with plenty of room for 20 people.
We had a wonderful girls weekend at this amazing property! Everything we could possibly need was there and was all immaculate! Thank you for a wonderful stay
We had an amazing weekend away with a group of friends. The property was incredible. So spacious, comfortable and has absolutely everything you need for a big group. Highly recommend!!
We had an amazing weekend here for a family member’s 70th. Plenty of space for kids to play and explore. The house itself if incredible, so much space and everything you need making it so easy. Just bring clothes and food. Would highly recommend to others and would love to go back sometime soon
Had an amazing weekend in Yark with 9 of my closest girlfriends to celebrate my 50th birthday. The house was perfect for us and we had a wonderful time. Everything you could need for a getaway.
A beautifully designed and fully equipped house, perfectly suited to our family's needs. We loved the view that welcomed us every morning and enjoyed sitting around the campfire melting marshmallows and belting out tunes. Enjoyed by all members of our family and hope to return again, soon. Andrew is the perfect host, always available and promptly answering all questions and enquiries. Highly recommend Andana for anyone looking for a relaxing time with loved ones.
Absolutely amazing property, accommodated our family of 25 comfortably Heaps of room for the kids to run around, great fire pit.Lots of things supplied that we didn't realise as we took all our own food and etc.
Unbelievable home. Pictures don’t do justice to the size and room available. House was clean and had all the entertainment room you could ask for. Andrew was great to deal with and very responsive to any questions. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again!
Plenty of room for a big group beautiful rural setting with added bonus of privacy
Host Andrew was very helpful and easy communication
Recommend for large or small groups
What a magical peaceful place to unwind and relax. We had a large group for our annual Christmas catch up which we chose to go away for this year… and we were all beyond happy we chose to stay at this place. It had everything we needed, enough rooms and bathrooms, an abundance of space for kids to play and adults to gas bag (around the fire) .. the alpacas were great entertainment and fantastic we could feed them! Andrew was great to deal with and there to call should we have needed anything .. however it was all there! Thank you for sharing ur wonderful home away from home with us :) we will be back! Amy and crew.
Andrew provided an amazing stay at Andana. The place is quite incredible and gorgeous. Very large and spacious with a great sense of style. With no neighbors or residence next door it really made you feel like a retreat and helps you connect with nature with the 200 surrounding acres.
Highly recommend spending a few nights at Andana.
A family getaway that could not have been better located. An absolutely beautiful property with a wonderful host. Andrew was very gracious and gave clear and detailed instructions for everything. Every imaginable comfort was available for our large family. The house was spacious and offered beautiful views. I would visit Andana again.
P.s. the starry night on a clear night should not be missed
Our stay at the property was absolutely fantastic! The house was very spacious and catered well for thirteen adults. It had everything that we needed-- we really just had to buy groceries and didn't need to leave the house for any more supplies. The surroundings were also very relaxing and calming. Feeding the alpacas was also fun!
It perfectly suited our needs and difficult to find fault with the property. Communications were excellent and wouldn’t hesitate to go back.
Really handy there are two incredibly good cafes 3 minutes away in Yark for breakfast and lunch.
