Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Margaret Naish
Hi. I am the property manager and live in another house on the property. Formally a school principal I then had a tree change and moved here from Melbourne after my father died to manage his farm. As my parents no longer used the old farmhouse, we decided to renovate and offer a Bed and Breakfast for travellers and those who want to "get away from it all" for a few days on a working country farm.
Why they chose this property
This property is a family property bought by my parents in 1989. They improved the property and added a lot of the infrastructure. My husband and I refurbished the old farmhouse, built our house and now manage the property with the BnB and the cattle.
What makes this property unique
Secluded and yet close to major centres such as Castlemaine and Kyneton and only 30 minutes from Bendigo. An easy 1 hour drive from Melbourne. Close to the Castlemaine - Maldon bike trail and local wineries at Coliban Valley and Sutton Grange. A beautiful rural setting surrounded by 500 year old gum trees and overlooking the lovely Metcalfe Valley.
