About this property

Jamar Lodge - Come and rest awhile.

Come and relax on a working farm. A lovely quiet retreat, located 25 minutes from Bendigo, 30 minutes from Heathcote and 45 minutes from Echuca. Close to a fabulous, country pub and community swimming pool. An ideal base to enjoy day trips to Bendigo and Echuca or to visit the local wineries in Heathcote. We are also just a short drive from both the Rochester and Colbinabbin Silo Art. Maybe you would like to try some fishing at the nearby Campaspe river or visit a golf course 15 minutes away. Go for walks, learn about our wool production, feed the lambs with bottles of milk, try some yabbying or be creative and do some sketching. Observe the glittering night sky and glorious sunsets in a rural setting. Another option is to observe the bird life. In the Lodge we have a guide book and a list of sighted birds. Cooking facilities include an oven, microwave and barbecue. A continental breakfast is included with fresh fruits when in season.
Jamar Lodge contains two rooms which have a queen and two king singles. There is a spacious kitchen, modern bathroom with a cradle bath and rainforest shower. A huge decking with seating enables you to soak up the serenity. A reverse cycle air conditioner keeps you comfortable in both winter and summer.

Simply the best!
What an amazing, incredible stay! The property was clean, fully equipped and just as described. The location on the farm is unbelievable, we enjoyed every second of seeing and looking after the sheep and lambs and learning about how the farm works. But over and above it all, the welcome and warmth from Maree and James was phenomenal. They are, quite simply, the best hosts we've ever been privileged to stay with. We will remember our stay always thanks to them and their increduble hospitality.

We loved our stay at Jamar Lodge. Clean and pretty with everything we needed and the added breakfast. Maree and James were wonderful hosts and lovely people willing to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We loved feeding the lambs and playing with Charlie the dog.

Amazing farm stay & B&B experience
James and Maree are the perfect hosts who have thought of every little touch to make Jamar lodge something special. The accommodation is lovely, comfy and warm as we visited in winter. The farm experiences with Maree,including bottle feeding lambs were special. The perfect place for recharging your batteries whilst providing a behind the scene look at farm life. I highly recommend it!

Lovely farm stay
We stayed three nights and we all had a lovely time. It was our first time travelling to a rural area I’m embarrassed to say and we didn’t know what to expect and if our kids would cope with having no screens and having not much around ( 4 yo and 8 yo). But the location of Jamar lodge was actually really easy to get to, the place itself was really comfortable for our family of four. It was clean, and the host Maree is the nicest lady you’ll meet. She showed my kids her farm, and talked them through the wool production process and to add to it they even got to feed the baby lambs. Maree’s hospitality made our stay that extra bit special.

Fabulous farm experience
We travelled with our 4 & 2 year old to this property and had such a restful and enjoyable stay. Maree was an amazing host. So warm and genuine and shared so much of her story about life on a farm with us. The children loved being able to feed the sheep, look for yabbies in the dam and play with Charlie the lovely sheep dog. The house itself had everything we needed and was perfect for our stay. Thanks so much to Maree and James for allowing us to share their farm and have this unique experience.

Excellent experience
What a fantastic place to stay if you want to recharge your batteries in a quiet area, not too close and not to far to Bendigo. Even better when your kids love animals, space and bicycles. Maree and James were just lovely, they made our holidays very special. The property is great, but it's not only about the property, it's about the whole experience. Thank you so much for that. We definitely will come back, my children have already asked to visit again.

Amazing Stay!!
Hi there, this is Shahanaz leaving a review for this amazing stay. Me and my family arrived at this beautiful lodge and were immediately impressed with the cleanliness and the inviting presence of three beautiful lambs, Lightning, Zoey and Tilly in the nearby paddock. After unloading our baggage, we were greeted by our amazing host, Maree, followed by James later in the day who were nothing short of spectacular people. Our stay at this lodge involved a calm atmosphere with various activities set up by Maree and James, which made the stay the most special trip of our lives. Would highly recommend this stay to anyone seeking to have a get away and to enjoy bonding time with their family. Merry Christmas Mary and James!
