Christmas break.

We had a large family group for Christmas Day. Visitors from Sweden and USA. The space for our large group was great. We had a lovely lunch for 14 and then enjoyed time in the pool. The large kitchen made cooking for so many, easy. It was nice to have to large lounges with tvs to relax on Boxing Day.

Get the clan together without falling all over each other

We utilised this property to accommodate overseas family/friends who had come over for my daughter's wedding at a nearby venue. This spacious homestead had a "supersized" feel with great amenities. The pool was sparkling and much enjoyed. This property is ideal for a winery weekend for multiple couples, or large adult family reunions. The views from each room were picturesque and it was delightful to see lambs and goats in the surrounding fields. Highly recommended for large group gatherings looking for solitude, chillout, quality time together.

Well appointed, plenty of space for kids & adults to relax, beaut pool , lovely seeing the animals right there, fantastic fresh strawberries & friendly owners ; however the place needs a few key windows cleaned, garden pruning & blow paths clean, also a manual to remind us of tv instructions, rubbish removal etc & watch out for slippery bathroom tiles,

Lovely escape from the city.

The hosts went beyond my expectations to make the booking and checkin process, as well as our stay as smooth and comfortable as possible. I very much appreciate the special touches like home grown strawberries on arrival and being able to contact the host at anytime. Beautiful house and very clean and equipped. Perfect for a few families with some younger children. Very comfortable beds too! Thank you

Beautiful house in the perfect location!

We booked the house over the Christmas holiday and had the best time! The location is beautiful, looking out over the fields and with lots of areas for the kids to explore. The house is equally stunning and there is so much space! We had our family over for Christmas and there was enough room for everyone to be together without feeling cramped. The pool was a huge success for both adults and kids and the water temperature was nice even on the slightly cooler days. We loved the free strawberries and cherries - they were delicious! Thanks again Pasqua and Dawn! We have already booked the house for next year and can’t wait to visit again

Awesome

Awesome huge property, great pool, excellent space for entertaining. Allowed us a late checkout which was very kind. Only criticism would be a couple of small issues: a shower didn't drain well and was prone to flood, a toilet leaked a bit of water, and the kitchen was lacking a couple of useful items like glad wrap. But overall we loved the property and the communication with the owner was very easy.

Family Farm Getaway

House was massive; plenty of room for our 3 families with kids to stretch out. Nice setting on the hill. Strawberries were great. Location was good for doing day trips and also Seville is nice and close for anything. Had a few things small issues with the house but nothing major. Enjoyed the trip.

Return visit

After an enjoyable stay in March, we decided on another long-weekend stay to combine an early Christmas celebration with our granddaughter's 12th birthday. Three of us headed up on Friday morning to drop in some food etc for the house's fridge and then continued on to Seville Estate for a wonderful lunch (highly recommended). The grandkids and our son-in-law followed on after school and, being a warm day, spent the afternoon in the solar-heated pool. On Saturday, we spent the whole day at the property and enjoyed a massive Christmas lunch in between pool activities. As with our previous stay, the overall property is shabbyish and there were minor issues ie this time, one of the toilets was out of order ("dodgy" as advised in the Post-it note stuck on the door) and, whilst the barbecue was cleaned, there was no gas for it. However, these were overcome by the absolute comfort of the house, its privacy, quiet surrounds and the great beds which meant that we all slept very soundly. We'd loaded up on carrots, apples and bread to feed the animals but, this time, there was only a small flock of very nervous goats who wouldn't come near us so most of the animal feed came home. The chooks partly made up for that and the kids spent time feeding them instead. Aside from packing up, a late check-out gave us time to wander about the farm, feed the chooks and vainly attempt to feed the goats and quite a bit of time went on discussing our next visit. A great time was had by all.

Expensive but we all enjoyed our stay

We wanted to celebrate our daughter's birthday with a two-night stay somewhere near Healesville Sanctuary (which we planned to visit on our third day). Of our sextet, two are snorers so we needed a property with 5 bedrooms. This property was one of very few that met this requirement but was the only one which also offered a big pool, animals to feed and plenty of space (80 acres) to wander around. The house is enormous and, based on the brickwork and the liberal use of clunky timber inside, I assume that it was built in the late 70's/early 80's. The property overall is a bit tired. Some rooms have had a makeover but others not so much. There were quite a lot of spider webs, a door was hanging off its hinges on a laundry cupboard and we were warned on arrival that the dishwasher was broken. We managed to use it but only after two of us had a go at adjusting one of the dishwasher drawers so that we could close its door properly. The pool area was large but the floor of the pool badly needed vacuuming. However, the furniture in both living rooms was very comfortable and the beds provided all of us with two great nights' sleep. The farm is particularly quiet and the call of the bellbirds during the day was beautiful. One of the 3 large TVs has Foxtel. The NBN wi-fi connection was very strong. The kitchen is huge and well equipped although the coffee pods provided in the large pantry didn't fit their coffee maker. Despite the pool floor needing a clean, the two grand-kids swam in it several times and had a ball. Their dad had a couple of swims too and our daughter went in at one stage fully clothed (having forgotten to bring her togs). The kids loved feeding the goats, the pony and the miniature cow and so did we (make sure you bring plenty of carrots and bread - we went through three sliced loaves and four bags of carrots as well as some hay we found in a shed). There are plenty of shops in nearby Seville and we had an excellent lunch on Friday at Seville Estate which is only a few minutes' drive from the farm. On the Saturday, we had another great lunch at No. 7 in Healesville (about 25 minutes' drive away). Our hosts were very flexible with check-in and check-out times so, on the Sunday, when given the choice of going to Healesville Sanctuary or just hanging around the farm until noon (feeding the menagerie and swimming), the kids quickly chose the latter. It was a very expensive 2-night stay but we all had a great time.

Fantastic accommodation

We had a fabulous stay at the property. The house is huge and accommodated our party of ten perfectly. The accommodation is exactly as described online and the photos are accurate. The communication with the property owners was prompt and informative and the house was clean, lovely and cool in the hot weather and well equipped with everything we needed. The pool was lovely and clean (and warm) and the whole outdoor area was a great space to hang out in on a hot weekend. We loved the property and would definitely book here again. A+++
