Help feed rescue animals on peaceful 40-acre Gembrook farmstay & sanctuary
Only 1 3/4 hours drive from Melbourne CBD, your fully self-contained private 2-Bedroom cottage nestled between bush and green fields awaits you. You are free to explore our 40 acres, meet our friendly sheep alpacas, pigs, chooks and cows. Children love helping feed them and collect fresh eggs.
You can leave your busy city life behind you. Spend the days bush walking, riding Puffing Billy, grape grazing at local wineries, cycling, even snow playing in winter.. then relax and unwind in the spa bath, cook a BBQ whilst watching a spectacular sunset over the ranges. Bird watching from the deck is a favorite activity with an array of birdlife, including lyrebirds and bower birds and many more.
NB: Many accommodation places have several cottages-we only have ONE! - so peace and privacy is guaranteed.
Once the stars are out in the clear country sky, the wildlife is active. Wombats, koalas, lyrebirds, kangaroos and bandicoots are some of the animals you'll spot at Hoddles Hideaway. no noise, no neighbours, just peace and quiet.
