Farmstay holiday rentals in Yarra River

We had a wonderful stay at the cozy cottage and our son loved the farm animals and surrounding gardens. The space was warm, comfortable and very clean. We loved collecting fresh eggs as fruits from the garden in the mornings, what a special treat!

We loved our stay! Beautiful space to enjoy for the weekend. The goats, fireplace and view from back deck were highlights. Hopefully we will be back soon! 😊

My husband, myself and our 4 adult children stayed at Lavender Farm. When first arriving we were greeted by their friendly dogs. Jacky had made a delicious cake and fresh bread plus farm fresh eggs and bacon ready for breakfast the next morning. It made us feel right at home. The farm is beautiful as is the accommodation. Tony (the host) was very friendly and helpful. The town itself has everything you need. Healesville is a lovely place to stay. I would highly recommend Lavender Farm.

We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Matt’s beautiful cottage near the Yarra Valley. Even though it was raining during our visit, the stunning views from the cottage more than made up for it — it was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The cottage was cosy, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay — a clean bathroom, washer and dryer, Netflix, and even a Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. Sarah was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special highlight for my son was getting to meet their adorable family pony, Little Penny — such a sweet touch that made our stay even more memorable. We truly appreciated the tranquility of the surroundings and would highly recommend this lovely spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for the lovely stay!

David and Louise's bnb was so cozy and peaceful, surrounded on all sides by beautiful and lush scenery. The cabin had everything we could possibly need and was decorated and styled charmingly. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful!

Dear David, We are absolutely thrilled that we chose 72 Tudor Ridge for our getaway. We wholeheartedly recommend this cozy haven to anyone looking to take a break from the busy pace of life and the hustle and bustle of the city. You are such a warm and welcoming host and it’s clear that you’ve maintained this beautiful cottage with great care and love. The view from the master bedroom is truly spectacular..it honestly can’t get any better 🙂. All amenities were thoughtfully provided and it was a delight to simply cook our favorite meals in-house and relax. The firewood experience at both spots around the cottage was such a unique and comforting touch. We genuinely enjoyed every moment and have decided to make this our annual retreat to celebrate our anniversary and my husband’s birthday. Thank you again for making us feel so special. Wishing you all the very best. Kindest regards, Laila and Chris Melbourne

Great location, easy access to some great wineries and a wonderful place to relax.

We had a lovely time at this peaceful getaway. The location was perfect—close enough to local attractions, yet quiet and relaxing. Our host was warm and welcoming when we arrived, which made us feel right at home. One of the highlights for our daughter was feeding the cows every evening—she absolutely loved it! We also enjoyed swimming in the river. While we didn’t manage to catch any fish or yabbies, it was still a fun and memorable experience. A great stay overall—we’d definitely come back again!

Helen and Craig are both very lovely hosts. They provided clear instructions to the property and offered great local recommendations. The house was spotlessly clean and smelled like a brand-new home. The bed was super comfy, and the place had everything needed for a comfortable stay. They also ensure we were warm enough, which was much appreciated during the cold weather. I would definitely return when visiting Mt Buller or Mansfield!

Beautiful stay on Paramoor winery. The cottage was comfortable, warm with heating and a wood-burner, and the property is really peaceful. 10 minutes drive from Kyneton, Lancefield and Woodend, and wineries. The wine at Paramoor was delicious - we had a lovely tasting with Sam. Thank you!

A little haven in the country. So peaceful and quiet and just what the doc ordered. Beautifully appointed, lovely and warm as the rain lashed down outside and comms with Genevieve were excellent. Everything was top notch and we’d highly recommend a stay here with the Roos for company!

I loved my stay at Honeysuckle Farm. The cottage had everything to make yourself right at home. The fireplace, heating and electric blankets made the stay in winter so comfortable and cosy. The bath was amazing and spacious. The view was also a treat and the goats were hilarious. My stay was peaceful and calming- exactly what I needed. Emily and Aaron were very helpful and accommodating on such a last minute stay. I’ll definitely be staying there again. Thank you! Also the platter was 👌

We stayed at the Brooker Tiny home in May 2025. It was autumn, and we had clear and chilly nights which was perfect for lighting fires inside the fireplace, campfire and the sauna. Brooker was compact but designed so well that it was comfortable for two adults and a chocolate labrador- plenty of space for lounging, reading and relaxation. The sauna was amazing with the view of the forest. The peaceful surrounds had walking trails into the forest at your doorstep! All of us enjoyed our stay and wish we could've stayed a little longer next to the Wombat forest. Thank you for hosting :)

The property was beautiful! Very peaceful getaway and lots to do in the towns around the area. The house was really clean, and the bath was a great addition 🙂

Believe all the 5 star reviews, this place is a gem! We can't wait to come back one day. We enjoyed cooking in the fantastically well appointed kitchen, the bed was comfortable and the whole place was super cosy. Loved sitting by the fireplace (and on the heated toilet seat!) when the weather was super chilly outside and my husband enjoyed the sauna experience for a small extra charge. This place is full of character, exactly as described, and feels warm and welcoming. The little cake and chocolate waiting for us on arrival plus fresh farm eggs delivered to the door were a bonus. Thank you Anneke for a wonderful little getaway.

Blame Mabel, The Sweetest Cabin on the Vines was honestly the cutest little escape I’ve had in ages. I stayed for three nights and completely fell in love with the rustic charm, the peaceful vineyard views, and all the thoughtful touches that made it feel so special. Mel was an absolute gem, bringing over fresh eggs and natural yoghurt that made my slow country mornings even sweeter. Tucked away in the heart of Anakie, it’s the perfect place to pause, breathe, and soak in the beauty of simple living.

Beautiful place, luxurious accommodation, surprised us on the arrival with music and lights turned on and also goodies for breakfast. 10 out of 10

Sandra is an amazing host and was very helpful with all of our requests and very prompt with responses. We enjoyed the place so much and will definitely be number 1 place to stay when we visit again! The place was really clean and the area accommodates to both people and pets. Sandra ensured we had no issues at all with our stay and was flexible with our schedule as well. Highly recommend! It’s an all year, all weather suitable accomodation place! The board games at the residence were also ideal for when staying indoors! Beautiful place with beautiful views!

I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting a truly unique experience. My partner and I stayed here and had an amazing time. Lynne is a fantastic host, we had a great all around stay and best of all was meeting all of the animals of the sanctuary.

Fran was amazing and friendly. The right entertainment was provided for our kids. Also had perfect recommendations for the winery on the property. We had a great time during our stay.

We loved our stay at Poplars Cottage. It's located on a beautiful property with private surrounds. The residence is a well maintained original 1930s cottage with some modern touches (kitchen, bathroom, and upgraded fireplace). We also enjoyed walking in nature and engaging with some of the horses on the property. Yasmine is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We'll definitely be back!

Had a lovely weekend at Brylinbrook. The setting is gorgeous and our daughter loved feeding the chickens and walking around the farm. There's also a sand pit and a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. The apartment above the stables is as pictured with everything you could need (log fire a huge bonus for cooler nights). Brian and Rhonda are wonderful hosts. We wouldn't hesitate to come back!

amazing place was great fun veronica was extremely kind and helpful will definitely be coming back

We stayed at hoddles creek air bnb for two nights for our 8 year anniversary. We absolutely loved it! The hosts were great, harley was very friendly, accommodation was wonderful and peaceful. It was so nice to be around nature, wildlife, being around the farm animals was wholesome too. Harley was a great guide around the property, he made us feel very welcome 🤗 Ushering us out at the gate and waiting for us to come back in. Our doggos loved having a friend patrolling near our place. Thank you for having us Marijke and Jon, the farm experience was awesome too! Cows are super friendly and used to people, the sheep were funny and sweet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fireplace was a highlight too. We will be coming back for sure.
