What is there not to like. This farm stay was everything we wanted and more. We took our 18 month old who loved the chickens and wandering through the market garden. Plenty of land to run around and set up for a picnic. House had everything we needed. The pig and the whistle hotel a few kms down the road was also a fave! Great food and best beer garden. Sibestian and David were incredible hosts and can't thank them enough for a wonderful stay. We also loved purchasing the veggie boxes and eggs to take home. We will definitely be back and we can't wait!

Maybe put a slip mat in the shower and for the hot water to last longer instead of getting hot and cold shower at once. Maybe the mattresses on the beds can be more comfortable ones too. Otherwise, all good!

The location and surroundings were wonderful. It was so peaceful and a lovely getaway. I would stay even on a rainy day as it would be nice to just sit in with the family and watch a movie on Netflix with no interruptions from anyone.

A fire place would of been great as the heating was okay

Clean and tidy accomodation

Stayed in September 2023

What I didn't enjoy was the lack of warmth in the accommodation. It was quite cold, especially in the evening. It would have been more comfortable if they had better heating appliances. We ended up having to use an extra heater in the living area to prepare for a chilly night. Additionally, I was looking forward to having more open space for a leisurely walk, but there was no such area available for a pleasant stroll. Another drawback was the limited options for lunch/dining in the area, as we had difficulty finding a suitable place to eat.

My stay was delightful, with the charming presence of chickens, a peaceful environment perfect for families, a clean and undisturbed house, and friendly and accommodating owners.

Frozen pipes which of course is no one's fault but mother nature

Perfect location for our needs, beautiful outlook, very cosy in cold weather.

We needed two heaters to keep warm (at this time of year) but was good they did have a second heater as well as electric blankets!

A really nice experience, lovely and peaceful place in really nice rural location and the hosts were generous in lots of ways!

The layout of the bathroom was restrictive.

Nearly all features of this property were very good.

Lovely location in the country but just 10 minutes drive to the nearest town. Spacious property with well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Access to fresh vegetables and amazing mushrooms!

Stayed in February 2023

Nothing. Rural location 6 km from Trentham and 2 km from the Pig and Whistle made it a little inconvenient for a business traveller.

Lodge was half of the owner's house, clean, nicely furnished and well equipped for a couple or small family stay. The property was rural and quiet.

Stayed in February 2023

The wifi/telephone reception was very poor. There were quite a few dusty places in the rooms. The amount of spider webs outside were off putting to sit on the verandah. The yard could do with some garden maintenance.

The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped

Stayed in January 2023

Very serene and quiet location. The accomodation was clean, tidy and very comfortable with everything necessary for a relaxing stay.

A seat to enjoy the view out in the shade of a tree would be advantageous.

Loved the outlook, hot shower, comfortable bed and lounge area. the unit was very clean.

Stayed in December 2022

A very clean, comfortable house with all possible amenities. The best bed we have ever slept in. 10/10 for everything.

Stayed in November 2022

location, fully equipped kitchen, entertainment- dvds

It was an amazing stay but a tv on the wall opposite the bed might have made my stay a extra bonus. We like watching tv in bed to help us sleep a little deeper 🙂

The weather! No fault of the owners of course, but it made the driveway and path to the house very muddy and having to open and shut the gate every time we entered or left the property meant we kept getting wet and our footwear very dirty. We were curious why this was necessary, as the other gate was always open, so the closed gate didn't seem to be functional in terms of containing pets or livestock or excluding unwanted intruders or wildlife.

The property was ideally located for us with access into the areas of Wombat Forest we were researching within easy reach. Its location was also perfect for several farmers markets on the weekend which we were able to explore. It provided a peaceful environment to escape to, so we could enjoy the attractions and amenities of the various local tourist towns without having to stay in them. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet our hosts, but would have appreciated a chat about the property - being nut growers and farmers we were curious why they were chopping down the chestnut trees.

Light globe in fridge and one of the heater globes not working. Otherwise very comfortable.

I know it's Trentham and we did stay in winter but the floors were cold. More carpet would be preferable to lino.

Great place for a relaxing stay out in the country next to forest but only 10 min drive from Trentham

Large, comfy accom. short drive to town. All utensils, furniture excellent. Even though winter weather with us the surrounds are lovely. Local pubs are great. Ladies clothing shop in main street has amazing well priced garments of which we purchased quite a few!
