About this property

Welcome to Wombat Forest Country Retreat!
A comfortable and modern country retreat on a rural property. Large, light and airy open living space with views out over farmland, forest and water. The Retreat has a fully equipped, spacious kitchen and covered back deck with outdoor furniture. The Retreat provides 1 bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. There is an additional king-size day bed in the lounge, so up to 4 people can be accommodated, all sharing the single ensuite bathroom.
The Retreat is attached to the main building, it has separate guest driveway, parking and a private entrance. There are no shared internal areas. There is a large grassy backyard which backs on to 3 acres of magnificent trees and ponds that you are free to explore. We do however ask that guests do not enter the adjoining market gardens without permission.
There is a flat screen TV with free-to-air channels and a variety of DVDs, books and board games to keep you entertained. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can make yourself a hearty breakfast or a home-cooked dinner. You can also buy a box of the freshest veggies straight from our market garden!
The Retreat is nestled in Trentham East - an idyllic rural setting between the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Springs surrounded by farm lands and bordering the Wombat State Forest. Open green pastures, towering forests and wonderful country lanes abound.

Very pleasant, relaxing and well equiped country spot

The whole experience was pleasant. The layout of the house was really cosy and warm. The house was well stocked with plenty of essentials. Sibastian was very friendly. Such a great local environment with a farm and cows in the distance. Would come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Sibastian and David

We are a well-travelled couple living the country life in Trentham East. Since we took on this property in 2015, we've been lucky enough to share this beautiful part of Victoria with guests. We have also been slowly working toward our goal of self-sufficiency and establishing a market garden, and are more than happy to give you a tour of the gardens if you are interested.
After the events of 2020, we look forward to once again welcoming guests to the Retreat, and sharing this idyllic and hidden corner of the world with more like-minded people. If you see us out and about working on the gardens - feel free to say g'day! We are always happy to have a chat if you want to know more about the gardens, surroundings and things to do around here.
