The space
Set on a quiet hobby farm just outside Ararat, this is a calm, nature-filled escape with sweeping views of the Grampians and space to properly switch off.
Surrounded by orchards, paddocks and open skies, the property offers stunning sunsets as the sun drops behind the mountain range, abundant birdlife, and a level of peace that’s hard to come by — while still being close to everything you’d want to explore.
>>The Farm
You’ll be staying on a working hobby farm with plenty of life and character. We grow a wide variety of seasonal produce in our orchard and gardens, including cherries, apples, apricots, almonds, and more, depending on the time of year.
The property is also home to lambs, chickens, an apiary with very happy bees, and three extremely friendly dogs who may wander past to say hello during your stay. All water on the property is rainwater, collected from tanks.
