Family farm retreat, big outdoor alfresco areas, with emus

Happy for most of it.A bit natural trouble but it's okay. Love to be there for few more time with families.

Loved the many friendly animals (emus & goats). Super comfy & warm night's sleep and the fresh garden produce selected was a great breaky addition. For us the booking was over nested accommodation providers (Xperia, AirB&B, and Vrbo) which made comms a little tedious at first.

It was a very hot weekend so the solitary aircon really struggled to cool the rest of the house. Stove was really old and would have appreciated some instructions on how to use that or the pizza oven. Bbq ignition button didn’t work either. Fruit trees outside were nice and my daughter enjoyed the emus next door.

Beautiful garden and access to nature.

Excellent stay at the quiet countryside home. Chris was a great host. We loved the mature gardens, bbq, farm animals and open spaces. The home had all the amenities to give us a comfortable stay. A perfect location to enjoy hikes, walks and Myrtleford bakeries. Would hope to stay again.

Great host. Lovely place to stay

Excellent location, we arrived late and Chris had the lights on and the fire roaring ready for our stay. The kids loved feeding the emus and going down to the creek. Easy access to local towns.

Excellent property and had a very pleasant time. Chris was very friendly and kind.

Nice host who had the fire going. Place was absolutely freezing the following days, unless we set the fire. Reverse cycle heater wasn’t crash hot, we think the filter needed changing as not much heat was coming out. Very grateful for the electric blankets on the beds.Kitchen needed a good deep clean.We enjoyed the fire pit one night. Was surprised it would cost and extra 20 to feed the emus and 25 a bag of extra wood.Not much area on the property to explore when it was a farm stay. Very picturesque area of Victoria to visit.

Wonderful 'meet-in-the-middle' house that held our extended family and toddlers who loved the emus! We will definitely be booking this house again and the proximity to great food in Myrtleford was a real bonus. The house had lots of room although we would not recommend the sofa bed for more than 1 person.

Chris is the consummate host. Met us at the property and showed us where everything was. He had the fires lit and it was cosy and warm on arrival. It’s well appointed with everything you need. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for relaxation. Easy to contact if needed. Thank you for your hospitality.

Absolutely wonderful property, amazing hosts! Upon arrival the amazing hosts already had the fires going so a very toasty warm house was an amazing surprise! The kids had lots fun feeding the animals and lots of space for relaxing with amazing views. The fruit trees were such an added bonus! Looking forward to returning again soon

Absolutely the best farm stay ever!We had such an amazing time here — the host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. There were so many fun activities to do, perfect for both kids and adults!We loved chestnut picking — it was our first time and such a unique experience. The farm also lets you feed animals like sheep, emus, and chickens, which was a big highlight, especially for the little ones.There’s a beautiful creek walk on the property, where you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and take in the fresh air. The scenery all around is just stunning — truly a perfect escape from the city.If you’re looking for a relaxing and fun getaway, this farm stay is a hidden gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Chris's lovely farm stay house is delightful. The house is a short drive from Myrtleford and in a very picturesque setting. It is nicely located to Yackandandah, Beechworth, Bright and Mt Buffalo. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of room to relax. The outdoor area with BBQ and pizza ove is excelkent.

We enjoyed our time at Barwidgee. Half way between Beechworth and Bright. The animals very friendly and great enjoyment for the kids and adults alike. Nice, quiet and quaint property. Would stay again.

The property was spacious and clean, with good facilities. We were very happy with our stay here.

Great quiet spot

On arrival we were greeted by our wonderful host Chris who shared his wealth of information about the area. The house was perfect for our stay with family. Very clean,tidy, spacious and comfortable with everything we needed and more. The children were delighted when Chis arrived the next morning to feed the emus goats and chooks. We enjoyed breakfast,lunch and dinner on the lovely paved covered outdoor dining area. Across the road we enjoyed splashing in the creek with the children and 3 year old labrador- all waterbabies.Lovely stay. Thanks Chris and family.

Overly impressed

A very comfortable place to stay with a beautiful creek across the road. Friendly host and the added extra of feeding the emus, chickens and goats.

We had a family/friend group of 8 plus 2 dogs. We had been late for checking due to the lomg drive but the host (Chris) had the house warm and cozy when we arrived. We went to the ghost tour at the beechworth asylum and had a great day in town on Saturday. Plenty to do and see. Two nights was not long enough. Everyone enjoyed the house and the animals, even the dogs had a great time. Would book agaim but next time a few more nights. Relax and Recharge.

Great position to do the sight seeing of these towns. We were busy with walks, lookouts, shopping and trying new foods and drinks. Lovely cosy and warm place. Quiet amongst the animals.

Very comfortable and cosy

We really enjoyed our stay. It’s nice, warm and clean.Kids love feeding the animals at the farm.

We had a nice time here, and the kids loved the farm animals. Chris was a nice host and was good with the kids. The house and appliances are long in the tooth but it is cosey and warm. The town was a bit of letdown though in terms of variety of restaurants etc. Make sure you bring your own supplies.
