Marnies | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | New York-style barn in the countryside
Perched on a gentle slope in Shepherds Flat, Marnie's offers a retreat with breathtaking panoramic views of rolling hills and lush forests. Immerse yourself in a handcrafted space adorned with original art and sustainable finishes, creating a cozy haven for your getaway.
Marnies serves as an ideal launchpad for exploring Victoria's renowned spa region, where mineral springs and gourmet eateries are just a stone's throw away. Alternatively, indulge in relaxation within the confines of Marnies, featuring an inviting extra-deep bathtub, sumptuous leather furnishings, and a charming cottage garden courtyard.
The loft boasts two sunlit bedrooms, each adorned with Queen beds and an abundance of pillows. One bedroom features a north-facing balcony for leisurely morning coffees and bird watching, while the other offers sunset views, a convenient study nook, perfect for writing or unwinding with a good book.
A well-equipped kitchen, curated by a former chef, showcases a large fridge, quality oven, and all the essentials for hosting dinner parties. A generous dining table complements the space, with additional entertaining areas both downstairs and in the cottage garden courtyard.
The kitchen seamlessly flows into the lounge area, where a plush leather couch, slow combustion fire, and a dedicated whisky bar and coffee-making station await your enjoyment. Central heating ensures a cozy atmosphere throughout. Original art and photographs adorn the walls, while unique architectural shapes and curves catch the light, creating a visually stunning environment.
Indulge in a leisurely soak in the extra deep bathtub or step outside to the back deck to witness the moon rise over the hills – a favourite pastime at Marnies.
This New York-style barn shares the property with another rental, The Homestead, yet remains separate and discreetly tucked away amidst gardens and grapevines. For larger groups, Marnies and The Homestead can be rented together under the name "The Estate," accommodating up to 10 guests.
Please be aware that the owners of Marnies reside onsite in a separate dwelling, ensuring your privacy with a distinct drive and entrance to their residence. They may occasionally be present when not travelling the globe, but rest assured, your privacy is of utmost importance.
