About this property

Stone Creek Cottage Farmstay

A perfect stay for couples and families up to 6 people close to Mt Buller & the King Valley wineries or just stay at the property & take in the breathtaking views from the beautiful wrap-around verandah. Price based on 2 people sharing a bed with additional beds $60 pp pn. Infants must be booked as children. Escape to the Country & discover this hidden gem!

This charming private colonial-style stone cottage featuring established gardens provides the comforts of home with all the essential modern conveniences you would need to enjoy a relaxing getaway, close to Mt Buller and the Victorian snowfields as well as Mansfield & King Valley wineries.

This beautiful hideaway features breathtaking views, stunning sunsets & starry nights on 24 acres of private country setting, all within 15 minutes of Mansfield. There’s plenty for the kids to do while you sit back, relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery and quietness of the country.

Come and meet our friendly Pygmy goats and say hello to our newest team members Chiquita, Can Can & Rumberella our gorgeous alpacas!

Fully self-contained with 3-bedrooms, offering 2 queen beds & 2 singles. Fireplace & Air-con. Discover this hidden gem at the gateway to Victoria’s High Country!

The property is in an ideal location, less than 15 minutes to Mansfield township and only 25 minutes to the entrance of Mt Buller and the Victorian snowfields.

During the winter months if you let us know what time you will be arriving, we can make sure the fire is lit, the lights are on and the cottage is lovely & warm for your arrival. All you have to do is sit back and relax!

The variety of animals that live on the farm are a real hit with our guests. Hand-feeding is the best way to get to know them, especially the alpacas and miniature Pygmy goats. As a Pygmy stud farm we also have baby Pygmy goats who love cuddles!!!

Also nearby is the awe-inspiring road to the King Valley wineries-within half an hour you are at Powers Lookout which really is a sight to behold from the Ned Kelly era. There is also a short nature walk at the site of the lookout which guides you around boulders through well-maintained paths.

There's plenty to do

...relax on the deck with a freshly brewed coffee or choose from a variety of different teas whilst reading the newspaper, a magazine or book.

...sip a wine or two and enjoy a platter on the deck overlooking the ever-changing landscape of the Mansfield Valley, surrounded by beautiful established gardens and watching the kids play in their own private garden complete with climbing rope and tyre swing.

...or enjoy a well-deserved holiday beer whilst listening to your favourite music via the Bluetooth dock, watching kangaroos and experiencing the best sunsets ever, followed by an awesome star-filled sky!

...take a beautifully scenic walk down to the cascades of the Broken River at the bottom of the property, hand-feed our pet alpacas and miniature goats whilst spotting native animals.

...or just simply snuggle up on the comfy couches in front of the cosy fireplace and be mesmerised by the magic of the flames.

However you like it, we look forward to hosting you.

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Van der Hoeven

Host profile image
When we lived together in London in the late 1990s my now husband Ed & I had a shared dream of running our own accommodation in Australia. We moved here in 2003, bought our property a year later & after years of dedicated building & landscaping and lots of hard work, it has taken us until 2017 to realise that dream but we are now open for business & loving it!

What we have created in Barwite is more than we could ever have imagined to be possible & we are looking forward to this next chapter in our lives along with our two beautiful children.

We are very proud of what we have achieved & are happy now it is all established. We are very much looking forward to hosting you and sharing our dream property with you.

Why they chose this property

We chose to set up our accommodation in Barwite, Mansfield because of it's location to year-round opportunities for guests to enjoy the variety of seasons and all they have to offer - whether it is skiing on the mountain (only 25 min drive to Mt Buller), swimming or fishing in the lakes and rivers, cycling the area or visiting the local attractions such as the maze, the zoo and the awe-inspiring lookouts, there is something for everyone. As well as the wineries, breweries, cafes and restaurants.

What makes this property unique

Everything you see on the property has been built, placed or grown by us. It has taken a long time to establish, but we feel we are at a point now where we can enjoy what we have created and now are able to share the property with others for a special holiday experience.
