An Unforgettable View | House in Dixons Creek

about the space
fifty minutes after leaving melbourne, you’re on the deck with a glass of local pinot, watching the sun drop behind the vines and hills
at night the stars are incredible – perfect for setting up your camera on a tripod to capture the sky, sunsets and sunrises from the property Or keep it simple and relax in one of the many quiet spots around the farm, soaking up the peace and serenity and listening to the sounds of nature. You can even borrow our easel, find your own favourite outlook and paint a scene to take home with you.
this is an unforgettable view – a new two-bedroom retreat on our small rescue farm in dixons creek, looking straight out over nearby vineyards, rolling hills and the dam below
stay in comfort, then step outside for the kind of country touches that can’t be faked
in the morning you’ll wake to soft light over the valley, kangaroos in the distance and the odd rooster in the background – plus the donkeys, horse and other rescue animals on our property, all lovingly cared for and always excited to be patted and fed carrots or weet-bix by our guests
right on the doorstep are world-class wineries, boutique cellar doors, wedding venues, the yarra valley chocolaterie, healesville sanctuary, gin distilleries, short and long walks, bike paths and some lovely shopping spots in healesville and yarra glen Many places are just a short walk, bike ride or drive away. Bikes are supplied for your enjoyment too – just let us know in advance how many you require.
come for a special weekend, or a slow week where you cook, read, wander the vines and feel a long way from the city – without spending half the day in the car
