About this property
The Gully - Best BNB in the Yarra Valley
Situated on 23 acres with horses, mobs of kangaroos, echidnas and beautiful birdlife. Stunning views north to Kinglake, and only minutes from Yarra Glen. The closest winery with gourmet pizzas within walking distance. Cycling trails just outside the gate leading in all directions. We offer an Uber service in a Toyota Hilux. Bookings essential.
All this and only 45 minutes from the city. Distance from Melbourne Airport is only 41 mins by car without traffic.
Separated from the rest of the house by a locked door, and with contactless access. Your own parking area, outdoor area, and totally self-contained. Deep cleaned after each guests departure.
Set on 23 acres with beautiful views to Kinglake, and easy access to boutique wineries, wedding venues and restaurants, on the edge of the Yarra Valley. We offer bushwalking tracks, mountain bike trails and great places to eat and drink.
Rob Roy Hill Climb - the oldest hill climb in Australia, and the State Park with wildflowers, wildlife, walking, riding and mountain bike trails.
Large light, room with queen size bed, couch, table, chairs, tv, outside deck with table and chairs. Mezzanine bedroom with 2 single beds, one a king single, accessed via a unique spiral staircase. Cot and highchair available.
Kitchenette with microwave, fridge etc. Key safe for easy access.
Feel free to wander around and pat the horses over the fence. My sausage dogs will bark at you to let me know someone is there, but then lick you! They are only letting me know I have visitors.
We are in the country so there are noises throughout the night from possums, kangaroos, wombats, our own chickens, dogs and horses as well as other animals. There are no rats or mice on the property, just lots of wildlife!
