Hoddles Creek oceanfront rentals

An absolute gem for those who don’t want to stay in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The perfect hideaway, completely private and peaceful, but still within 30mins of all the yarra valley highlights.

We had a great stay here and arrived very late , it was very dark and fortunately Angela the host lives in a house next to the BnB so she was able show us which door to enter though as it was very dark , we also had a little brother with us who was planning to go back but it got so late he was very tired and decided he would like to stay the night but there was only enough beds for 4 people so Angela let him share a single bed with his brother for an extra 250 per night which was appreciated considering the situation we found ourselves in and we only booked for 4 people. The place was very clean and lots of animals which Angela gave as walk around to the animals and shared her considerable knowledge with us . The best part was a little black dog that lives there who was a delight to have around and very welcoming : )

We had a lovely time in a lovely location

We really enjoyed our stay at hoddles hideaway! It was warm and cozy. We especially loved the cows, sheep and chickens. We were lucky enough to be given 6 freshly laid eggs for breakfast which was so nice.

As a retired couple looking for a short mid-week stay surrounded by nature, this property was ideal and offered a budget-friendly option for us. We enjoyed our short stay (3 nights) and we had everything we needed. The surrounding natural bushland and wildlife was beautiful and abundant. This property is suitable for children but they would need to be supervised at all times as there is an open dam (down a very steep dirt track) and vast wooded forrests opposite a lovely vineyard. On that note though, the huge undercover back carport/deck area is big enough for riding bikes, throwing a ball, a game of cricket etc. Providing shelter from the rain and sun, we loved this area and spent quite a lot of time there during the day and early evening. This farmhouse is culturally traditional in its styling so if you are expecting 5 star luxury with modern furniture and state-of-the-art decor, this is not for you. Having said that, it's very warm and comfortable, great quality bedding and super comfy bed in the primary bedroom, big family kitchen - an easy living family home. Local shops not close so make sure you take everything with you that you will need for your stay. As the crow flies, yes, 7-8kms realistic, but roads leading to property unmade and driveway leading to the farmhouse is quite treacherous in the wet (which is what we encountered). A four wheel drive or similar is recommended. Pot belly stove in the kitchen works, but filled the living room and kitchen with smoke, so we didn't use it. There is a split system in both the lounge and the primary bedroom, so still warm. No doors on second bedroom and third bedroom so they're open. Closing door on primary bedroom only. Depending on what you're looking for, there are some great positives in this vineyard/farmhouse property.
