Beauty, peacefulness, space, tranquility personified. The perfect place for a family getaway. The garden, amazing, perfumes of orange blossom, roses and wisteria wafting through the air. The surrounding views were incredible.

Beautiful place
Five friends stayed here. Stunning location. Renee was very helpful. Four bedrooms at the front of the house and a fifth in a curious location of the bathroom but perfectly fine. Kitchen has all you need for cooking. Recommend the Stanley Pub for foodies.

Spacious home great for large groups
We loved our stay at Karalilla homestead. The house was perfect for our large group (10 people), with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and a fantastically well appointed kitchen. The home has been beautifully restored and maintained and has a stunning outlook over the surrounding farmland and hills. The property owner Renee was always super-quick to respond to any of our questions and was very accomodating. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Karalilla Homestead Yacandandah
Our group of ten thoroughly enjoyed staying in this delightful property, weather was cold so the two fireplaces kept us warm & cosy. There was a problem with plumbing, but it was attended to promptly, also very happy with the fast response when we requested extra blankets. It was a pleasure to stay in this delightful home.

How's the Serenity!!!
This beautiful house and garden setting in an ideal valley location is just what you need for a relaxing break. We are a group of friends that get away regularly. We enjoyed the gorge walk in Yackadandah and the delights the town has to offer. Returned early afternoon to the house to relax by the fire and enjoy the beautiful vista and surrounds of this property. Kitchen is huge and well equipped. Well worth a visit.

Great house!!!!
Wanted to thank Renee, your house is beautiful we wish we had more time there but due to out of anyone’s control circumstances only there for the night. Renee did everything she could to rectify the situation and was an absolute pleasure to deal with, will definitely be looking to book this beautiful property again in the future!

As a group of seniors , well used to travel, we found Karalilla to be perfect for our group of siblings. Mid July visit - we were warm as toast! The house is clean, interesting, we loved the garden and Fantastic kitchen with space for all. We are just about to make two further bookings.

Gorgeous old farm house ideal for our family get together
A beautiful rambling old farm house set in lovely gardens in rolling hills out of Yackandandah. Nicely renovated but keeping some of the attractive features of early years. Large well equipped kitchen and excellent BBQ facilities plus a beautiful autumn day made for a delightful outdoors lunch. Well equipped with a wood heater and ample firewood plus electic heaters in the rooms for colder nights.

Best staycation we had so far!
The house is huge, fully furnished and well equipped, appliances are mostly new. The house made our easter holiday much more special. It is very cozy and relaxing plus the view is amazing! We really had a great time. Not to mention, Renee was very accomodating and responsive. As a big group, she has also made sure that we get extra linens, tables and chairs. We highly recommend Karalilla for large groups especially families.
