About this property
Peaceful cottage retreat an hour from Melbourne
Willowdell is a peaceful cottage retreat on a boutique rural horse property, halfway between the historic townships of Kilmore and Lancefield. Surrounded by scenic farmland at the base of the McHarg Ranges, it's the perfect base to explore the delights of the Macedon Ranges to the west, or Tallarook, Tooboorac and the Heathcote wine region to the North.
Ideal if you are temporarily working or visiting friends in the area, or as a relaxed get away from a hectic city schedule.

About the host
Hosted by Bernadette

A long time local to the area, I'm an animal lover, especially my horses and my dog. I really love where I live and love seeing the way my guests appreciate and enjoy the Willowdell property and surroundings as much as I do.
Why they chose this property
The peaceful rural farmland setting is easy on the ears and eyes. I never tire of the way the surrounding hills are ever changing throughout the seasons. I feel so fortunate and grateful for the opportunity to live in such a delightful setting.
What makes this property unique
The peace of the area is broken only by the vast variety of birdlife, along with the odd echidna or kangaroo. Peaceful, safe and secure, once you're settled inside the gates you can leave the rest of the world behind and simply relax and breathe in the pure country air, all within an easy hour's drive from Melbourne.
