Dufflebird Farm - Peaceful Country Escape
Berrys Creek, Victoria, Australia
Welcome to Dufflebird Farm — 120 acres of rolling meadows, open skies, and deep country quiet, just two hours from Melbourne.brbrbrbrA three-bedroom South Gippsland farmhouse where the pace shifts the moment you turn down the lane. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, wrap-around verandas — and a separate bathhouse opening onto farmland views.brbrbrbrWatch the weather roll in. Sleep deeply. Stay longer than you planned.brbrbrbrbrbr~120 acres of open pasture and fresh country airbrbr~Light-filled farmhouse with soaring 3.3m ceilingsbrbr~Wrap-around verandas and wide paddock viewsbrbr~Separate bathhouse with French doorsbrbr~Sleeps 5 comfortably (max 6 on request)brbr~Linen, towels & cleaning includedbrbrbrbrTucked down a quiet lane in Berrys Creek, Dufflebird Farm is the kind of place where things soften quickly — the air, the pace, your sense of time.brbrbrbrTHE EXPERIENCEbrbrThis is a place we’ve nurtured back to life, honouring its history and our connection to the region while making it our own.brbrbrbrWhat we fell for wasn’t showy — it was the quiet rhythm of the place. Morning mist low over paddocks. Light shifting across the hills. Stillness that makes you notice how much noise you’ve been carrying. But it’s not all soft edges — subtle boldness and thoughtful details keep it interesting.brbrbrbrThe house carries the same rhythm as the land: modern-federation bones, pared-back interiors, and space to breathe — with just enough edge to keep you noticing.brbrbrbrIf layered, maximalist country styling is your thing, this probably isn’t your place. But if you appreciate restraint, thoughtful design, and a slower kind of luxury, you’ll feel at home.brbrbrbrA tree-lined driveway leads past fruit trees to the veranda-wrapped house, where light spills across hardwood floors. Living, dining, and kitchen flow onto the deck — perfect for slow mornings, long dinners, and evenings watching the light move across the paddocks.brbrbrbrThe kitchen centres on a Falcon gas stove that invites proper cooking: slow breakfasts, shared meals, or something in the oven while you sip wine outside. It’s made for the way people actually live when they have time.brbrbrbrHydronic heating keeps the house warm on cold nights, complemented by a wood fire for extra coziness. In summer, cooling and fans make it comfortable year-round.brbrbrbrThe lounge is simple, considered, and welcoming — books worth reading, games worth playing, and a Bluetooth speaker for slow mornings or quiet evenings.brbrbrbrBEDROOMSbrbrMaster — Queen bed, walk-in robe, ensuitebrbrSecond — Double bedbrbrThird — King single / small double with deskbrbrSleeps 5 comfortably; up to 6 by request.brbrbrbrTHE BATHHOUSEbrbrA short walk from the house, the bathhouse is light-filled and quiet, with bi-fold French doors opening to farmland.brbr~A note on the bath: It’s a standard single-person bath, designed for a slow, solo soak with a view — not sized for two. This is intentional, as the property runs entirely on collected rainwater, balancing comfort with conservation.brbrbrbrOUTDOORSbrbrWrap-around verandas and deck seatingbrbrBBQ and outdoor diningbrbrFruit trees and open paddocksbrbrCircular driveway and carportbrbrbrbrWHO IT SUITSbrbrDufflebird Farm is intentionally not for everyone.brbrIt suits people who want to slow down — not fill every hour — and notice light, space, and how a place feels.brbrPerfect for couples, families, or small groups seeking space and stillness.brbrIf you’re after a highly serviced, fast-paced stay, this probably isn’t the right fit.brbrbrbrEXPLOREbrbrSouth Gippsland rewards taking your time — beaches, trails, and small towns that feel quietly themselves.brbrWalkerville, Waratah Bay, Sandy Point, Wilsons Prom — or closer to home, Mirboo North, Meeniyan, Fish Creek, and Loch for food, wandering, and local character.brbrbrbrDAY TRIPSbrbrTarra-Bulga National Park — 1 hrbrbrWalhalla — 1 hr 15 minbrbrWilsons Prom — 1 hr 20 minbrbrMirboo North pool and Inverloch Beach — local favourites on warmer daysbrbrbrbrGuest accessbrbrYou’ll have the whole property to yourselves, with easy key-safe access.brbrWe live about three hours away, so you’ll enjoy complete privacy — but we’re always just a message or phone call away. A local caretaker is also nearby if you need assistance.brbrOccasionally, you may see the local farmer in the paddocks. He won’t enter the driveway or house, usually just checking on his cows.brbrbrbrOther things to notebrbrRATESbrbrBase for two guests; $50 per extra guest (max 1)brbrbrbrBATHROOMS AND LAUNDRYbrbrMain bathroom, ensuite, additional toiletbrbrWasher & dryerbrbrbrbrHEATING AND COOLINGbrbrHydronic heating throughoutbrbrWood fire (firewood supplied) in the main living area (lounge, kitchen, dining)brbrSplit system heating and cooling in the main living areabrbrFans in bedroomsbrbrbrbrENTERTAINMENTbrbrTV, speaker, books, gamesbrbrWiFibrbrbrbrSUSTAINABILITYbrbrSolar-powered, rainwater collected, composting encouraged.brbrbrbrBEFORE YOU ARRIVEbrbrWe’ll send everything you need — access details, what to bring, and our local recommendations.brbrThere’s also a printed guide at the house, and we’re always available if needed.brbrbrbrPETSbrbrNot permittedbrbr~For pet-friendly stays, see below.brbrbrbrOTHER STAYSbrbrIf Dufflebird is booked, you might like:brbrLiptrap Loft — private acreage, Japanese bathhouse (dogs welcome)brbrOtways Loft (Forrest) — three-storey cabin (dogs welcome)brbrSteam Carriage (Forrest) — reimagined vintage stay (dogs welcome)brbrMcQueen Studio (Anglesea) — coastal studiobrbrAll share the same approach: thoughtful design, and space to properly switch off.
