About this property

Lavender Farm Yarra Valley

The Property
Lavender Farm provides you with your own luxurious three bedroom farmhouse in the heart of the Yarra Valley just 6km from the lovely small town of Healesville. The accommodation is fully self-contained and only one booking is taken at a time so you have exclusive use of the house; whether you are a couple, a family or small group of friends. The owners, Tony and Jacky, have a separate house on the property and are available if you want any help or advice on your holiday.

The house is set on 13 acres with beautiful gardens and native bird-life. You are welcome to help yourself to any seasonal fruit, vegetables and herbs growing in the cottage garden and orchard. There is a veranda around 3 sides of the house so you can enjoy a cup of coffee watching the sunrise or a glass of wine watching the sun set.

The property is pet friendly so, as long as your pet is also friendly, it is welcome. There is also the opportunity to bring your own horse. There is a fenced swimming pool on the property next to the owners house which is generally available for use 10am-4pm Mondays to Saturdays and other times by arrangement. The pool is solar heated.

Wonderful Stay at Lavender Farm

Beautiful location in Badger Creek. Location and views are lovely. Close to Healesville. Hosts are very welcoming with a lovely wood fire already lit. Eggs, bacon, bread and a walnut cake awaited us. Comfortable and cosy place. Loved our stay

Lovely property

We had a lovely stay. Jacky and Tony were very friendly and happy to help. The cake on arrival was delicious! Not quite as private as I thought with a few different people attending to the horses on the property throughout the day. The two cute dogs love to say hello, but can be a bit too much at times. It made it a little bit tricky with our own dog. We enjoyed the proximity to Healesville Sanctuary. We ended up spending the whole day there as we were able to quickly drive home for our toddler's lunchtime nap. Perfect location!

Magnificent stay

There were 4 people in our party and we all agreed it was just perfect. There was everything there you needed and even a homemade cake ready for our first cup of tea. You had plenty of privacy but if you wanted you can stroll around the paddack and pond and meet all the animals. I got lots of vegie gardening tips off Jacky. If we ever come this way again we would stay here. Just devine

Beautiful gardens. House is neat and tidy and the location was perfect.

Beautiful location, house was lovely and cozy and had everything we needed. The pool area and garden was super child friendly and full of amazing little play areas. Only thing is if you don’t like dogs this place isn’t for you. If you love dogs then this is the exact place for you. I would recommend and return again.

Wonderful property - will come again

We thoroughly enjoyed our two day stay at the Lavender Farm cottage. The cottage was very roomy, fully equipped with beautiful, thoughtful touches of fresh flowers, bread, eggs for our stay. The pool was heavenly during the day, our dog enjoyed walking around the property and watching the native birds from the balcony. Thank you Jacky and Tony for a wonderful stay, we hope to come back soon- for a longer stay.

Lavender Farm is such a lovely place to be. Tony and Jacky are such an excellent host...we felt so welcomed by all the extra lovely touches, i.e. wood fire heater was heated prior to our arrival, homemade & delicious walnut cake, lavender sprigs around the house. Not to mention the friendly Rory (dog). We all enjoyed the spa bath in winter, the beautiful sunset view from the windows.. Two nights were too short ;-) We absolutely recommend this place to anyone.
