Our cottage has secluded setting on 67 acres on the edge of the bush. We are near the expansive Bunyip State Park, Puffing Billy and the Yarra Valley- there is plenty of opportunity for walks, and entertainment. The cabin is a converted shed, with three bedrooms, a lovely living area and a cozy wood fire. Two of the bedrooms offer single beds and the master bedroom a queen bed. The cabin can sleep a maximum of three guests according to the council regulations, making it ideal for couples or small groups. The cottage is far from the good ( out of sight) so that guests have plenty of privacy. We are both artists and our workshops are close to the cottage, but we will do our best to keep noise to a minimum, as far as possible. We welcome couples, solo adventurers and families.

The cabin offers a living area with comfy couches and a fireplace and plenty of blankets during the cooler months. There is a full kitchen and plenty of books and games- and a god bluetooth speaker. Hosts are committed to being environmentally friendly at the property, so ask guests refrain from using any harsh chemicals.

Guests also have the option of cooking in the sheltered outdoor area where there is a BBQ provided as well as a fire dish. Dining space can also be found both inside and out. The cabin is located in the bush, so guests can walk out and try to find the resident breeding pair of Lyrebirds, echidnas, wombats, wallabies, kangaroos, or the deer that roam the property. Or, guests can walk on the 67 acres of land and explore the wonderful surrounding nature on a adventurous path. Close to many trails this is a great opportunity to experience trails in the bush. This is a working hobby farm with animals such as dogs, pigs, horses, and chickens. Guests are allowed to interact with the animals but have to talk to hosts about safety first before doing so.

Glampers will be able to relax in style during a stay in this rental. We supply all linen and towels. Basic toiletries are also provided for guests' convenience.

Parking is available.

Scenic views
This wonderful rental boasts a secluded setting and is perfect for glamping as guests will have immediate access to 67 beautiful acres of land to roam and explore, meaning there are sure to be plenty of chances to get to know the unique Australian wildlife that inhabits this area. In addition, guests will find a delightful selection of restaurants just a short distance away, despite the rural setting. The property is close to Puffing Billy- one of Australia's few steam trains. The area is fantastic because guests are in the middle of the bush with a feel of seclusion, while being only a short drive to lots of activities.

Glampers should be sure to take advantage of the countless parks in the area for hiking as the property is close to Dandenong ranges and Bunyip state park. The Yarra Valley wine region, with many wineries, is also close by. For day trips further afield, guests will find themselves just an hour from the vibrant city of Melbourne, which is perfect for when they fancy soaking up some urban life.

There really is no end to the array of activities available for guests to enjoy while staying in this fabulous cabin. Guests can be as active or as relaxed as they like, with the 67 acres of land surrounding the property offering the perfect place for a leisurely stroll or cycle. Guests should be sure to pack a picnic for their excursions so that they can take time to enjoy the breathtaking views on offer.

The property has farm animals, and children will enjoy feeding the ducks, chickens, and pigs or petting the horses with the owner present. There is trout fishing farm in the area, and it's also well known for its markets. Horseriding in this area is second to none, thanks to the amazing trails on offer. Guests can even bring their own horses, as there is a paddock at the property, or hosts can help arrange trail rides in the area.

This area is also rich in wineries that offer a truly Australian experience and there is plenty of shopping and dining to be done in the nearby towns. The main attraction would be enjoying the bush area close by though, which can be done by walking, cycling, horseback riding, off-road bike riding, or four-wheeling. The park is divided up in sections so all can be safely done. Gembrook has a surprisingly large choice of great, even well-known, restaurant and cafes, and, of course, there are plenty of other towns with a range of choice in the area.

For evening entertainment, guests can enjoy a visit to one of the theaters or visit a live music venue, in a nearby town or have a fire on the terrace, looking out on the property's bush.
