Ironbarks - Self Catered Farmstay

Awesome weekend for two families. Adults enjoyed the open fire and rural setting. Kids enjoyed slides, swings and throwing rocks in the dam.The house is in a fantastic location - very peaceful. All the rooms are well appointed and the kitchen is well equipped.All round - it is a fantastic place to stay for some time away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Ironbarks was a trip down memory lane as my husband grew up on the property -The house was beautifully set up, and the wood fire kept us lovely and warm on the cold nights... We had a great time exploring the property surrounds, especially our 3 year old, who loved the play equipment and playing 'boat races' on the dam with his dad! The toys in the childrens' bedroom were also much appreciated!!Highly recommended as a lovely quiet getaway from the city, and we hope to revisit in the future. Rick was also very helfpul with the booking and suggestions for activities/eateries etc in the area.

We have stayed here many times and we just love it! The owners have great communication and are very thoughtful. Ironbarks has everything you could need. Including a veggie garden to use and all the right tools to cook delicious meals using the fresh produce. The warm fire on arrival is amazing. It is very well presented and feels like a home away from home. Thank you again for having us

Arriving late on a Friday night to a roaring fire was the best welcome you could have. Ironbarks is fantastic and we all loved the property. Our kids were kept busy with the 'treasure hunt', swinging in the hammock and playing on the impressive swing set. The house is gorgeous and, most importantly, the kitchen has everything a good cook needs. Not sure what we enjoyed more - exploring the property or spending time at wineries & clambering around the rocks at Melville's Caves. We will be back!

We had such a wonderful time at Ironbarks. The house is amazing and we didn't leave the property the whole time we were there. I think my boys may have walked every inch of the 100 acres - they were captivated by the old tree house and were up, dressed and out searching for kangaroos with the sun each morning. I especially loved the kiwi CDs - a little bit of home among the gum trees. Thanks so much - we'll be back for yabbying for sure!

Loved it! We had a fabulous weekend in the serenity and beauty of Ironbarks. The house was immaculate, and every effort had clearly been made to ensure we were as comfortable as possible. We will certainly be returning soon, and telling all our friends.

Fantastic outing for a group of 6. Well equipped kitchen and firewood for heating as well as electric heating in bedrooms. We enjoyed picking a variety of fresh vegetables from the garden for our meals. And our dogs enjoyed running around the property!

Nice clean farm stay. Great for families with kids. Great in winter having the wood burning stove cranking, and always plenty of wood. Summer is another story. There is aircon in the main living room which is very effective, but there are only fans in the bedroooms and when it is oppressively hot sleep won't come easily.

We have stayed at Ironbarks on two occasions and we have absolutely loved it and we intend to come back again. The house is charming and very well maintained and it has everything that we need. Our kids loved exploring the 100 acres Dunolly is a very friendly and charming town. Its the perfect country getaway for us.

What a fantastic, fun, exciting, relaxing and picturesque place. The house is gorgeous and everything inside and out is immaculate. There were 5 adults and 1 child staying for the 3 nights, we all enjoyed walking around the property exploring the 100 acres, we saw lots of wildlife including kangaroos. Relaxing by the log fire was great, listening to the cd's and having a sing a long was fun. The property was so private been at the end of the road. Beds were comfy and the rooms were spacious and warm. The best part of the stay was at night when we went outside to gaze up at the sky, it was amazing to see so many stars I'd almost forgotton how many there are, living in the city you never get to see that many. Rick and Sarah were fantastic hosts, and did everything possible for a hassle free stay. We all can't wait to go back again and have some more relaxing fun. Anne & Rod.
