We had a great stay at the Harvest farm house. The house itself was beautifully presented in a sprawling property with it's own lovely garden, the kind my grandmother may have kept. It was a pleasure to call the Harvest farm house home while we enjoyed a sample of what the area has to offer.

This is Happiness

An impeccably clean and well appointed property with all those little touches that make all the difference. The owners - amd resident dog Bo - went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome and were comfortable. Close to town and nearby attractions or just the perfect place to spend time outside in the spacious grounds.

Great getaway for two busy mums

My friend and I were looking for a rejuvenating getaway and break from our busy lives. We were not disappointed. The moment we arrived, we instantly felt relaxed and slipped into a pampering weekend. The cottage was well appointed with everything you need. We especially loved the fire place and split system as a back up. But what really made this experience great was the market quality fruit and veg patch. Karina and Rob invited us to take what we wanted and the variety of produce was amazing. We were even given a dozen fresh eggs from their beautiful chooks. The property is very well maintained with childrens play equipment and cubby house. There’s two cottages to choose from and is ideal for friends and families looking for a getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Tuscany in Yarra Ranges

Beautiful setting at foot of the forested ranges, the farm is splendidly planted with luscious herbs, veggies and orchard fruits! We feasted on fresh vegetables and delicious eggs from very friendly chickens. The Harvest House is charming, old world weatherboard with modern facilities. Located only 5 minutes from bustling Healesville but one felt as though we were in isolated countryside - plenty to do nearby and literally dozens of top class vineyards within a 15 minute drive. Loved it!

Delightful cottage in the country - explore the Yarra Valley or just relax in lovely garden setting

Harvest house where we stayed is one of two cottages on the property, and being close to Healesville is an easy drive from Melbourne. Surrounded by gardens it's very private and had a lovely ambiance. The cottage is well set-up with what you need for a relaxing stay, including a generous breakfast basket and a comfortable bed. We liked that the owners allowed us to take our house-trained pooch with us.

About the host

Hosted by Karina & Bob

Host profile image
Having reached that time in life when the kids have grown up and moved out, we asked ourselves "what next"? After a life time of living in wonderful Melbourne (other than stints overseas and interstate), we decided it was time for a "tree change". Where the air is clear, the night sky bright with stars, where we hear birds and frogs rather than traffic, and where our gaze is only interrupted by mountains and trees. A place where time slows down and we can connect more deeply with people and nature. And where we can share our piece of paradise with guests looking for some respite from the everyday bustle of life.

Why they chose this property

Only an hour or so out of Melbourne, just a few minutes drive from the delightful township of Healesville, we are perfectly located in the middle of the Yarra Valley and the myriad attractions it offers to visitors. Harvest Farm itself is simply one of the most scenic and idyllic places. The expansive ornamental and vegetable gardens, the sounds of our chickens, ducks, cows and sheep calling to each other, the majestic trees and mountain views, and the privacy afforded to our guests in their own self-contained cottages, make this a place that is truly unique.
