Our host Marie was lovely and very welcoming. She was easy to communicate with and even let us feed her lambs! The accommodation was beautiful, clean and homey. Very peaceful location and would go back in a heartbeat.
Maree and her husband James were wonderful hosts We really enjoyed our stay and the farm is amazing Loved watching their dog Charlie move the sheep around and going for a lovely walk to watch the sunset.
We totally enjoyed our stay. Learning about life on a sheep farm and feeding the lambs were highlights. Accommodation was very comfortable. James and Maree were so friendly and inviting. Thankyou both for making our stay a lovely one.
Owners were lovely and went out of their way to show us a bit of their daily farm life. Was nice and peaceful place to just unwind and relax. Kids had a great time.
Great place to stay, we will definitely be back. Highlights were feeding the lambs and patting the friendly sheep. We also loved the local country pub and checking out the local wineries. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed
It was just what we needed at the end of our holiday. It was relaxing and peaceful. The kids enjoyed feeding the lambs and meeting the sheep dog. The owners were so helpful and bent over backwards to ensure we had a great stay. Highly recommend the place. We will be back.

Great stay in comfy house
Stayed with a couple of friends for weekend away in this lovely house. Very cosy with nice effective heater in cold. Lovely setting and not too far from Bendigo/ Heathcote. Owner very responsive to messages and according to my friend who was first to arrive lovely in person. Highly recommend.
Maree was a wonderful host! The house was beautiful, clean and full of everything you could need and want. Getting to help feed the lambs and learn a bit about the workings of the farm was an incredible bonus!
We loved our stay at Jamar Lodge. Clean and pretty with everything we needed and the added breakfast. Maree and James were wonderful hosts and lovely people willing to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We loved feeding the lambs and playing with Charlie the dog. We also learnt lots about sheep farming and wool. Perfect place for our little get away. Highly recommended!
Peace, refreshment and home away from home really. Yes really. Maree and James are extraordinary in their generosity and desire to make our stay both pleasurable and memorable.
True hospitality.
We spent one night there. Host was very welcoming and had breakfast cereals, milk, bread , spreads available. Some snacks and chocolates too. Very clean place.
My 2 and 5 years old fed lambs and we enjoyed our fire place. Thank you
What an amazing, incredible stay! The property was clean, fully equipped and just as described. The location on the farm is unbelievable, we enjoyed every second of seeing and looking after the sheep and lambs and learning about how the farm works. But over and above it all, the welcome and warmth from Maree and James was phenomenal. They are, quite simply, the best hosts we've ever been privileged to stay with. We will remember our stay always thanks to them and their increduble hospitality.
James and Maree are the perfect hosts who have thought of every little touch to make Jamar lodge something special. The accommodation is lovely, comfy and warm as we visited in winter. The farm experiences with Maree,including bottle feeding lambs were special. The perfect place for recharging your batteries whilst providing a behind the scene look at farm life. I highly recommend it!
