Lochinver Farm Homestead & Cottages

We recently booked a group holiday for 13 adults, two dogs and one child at the Homestead and Creek Cottage. It was the best holiday we've had for a long time!The Homestead- Every piece of furniture in there was an antique and oh so beautiful and well preserved. We felt like we were living back in the 1800's which was quite a novelty for us.- The Homestead has very spacious common areas like the lounge, 2 large dining areas and a very well equipped kitchen (lots of crockery, cutlery, wine glasses, mugs, etc.) that is great for a large group. Because every area is so spacious, we never felt like that was no room to move around. We could have 6-7 people in the kitchen and would not bump into each other. Yes, it is that big! FYI there's also a pod coffee machine in the kitchen if you need a coffee fix.- The Homestead has 6 rooms and could fit 15 adults comfortably (we had 11 staying there). All the beds were super comfy, linen was clean, and every room had a fireplace (although we were not sure if they were decorative or still in working order).- There are 3 good sized bath rooms / toilets so no one had to queue (LOL)- There are 2 fridges which came in handy, one in the kitchen and the other near the spa which we used for drinks.- Oh and the spa... it was great to take a dip after a day out & about. TIP: If you wish to use it, turn it on first thing you arrive so that it gets up to temperature (needs a good 5-6 hours or more as it's a large spa!)- If you love gardening, you will love the Homestead's lush English garden. So many happy butterflies & bees and look out for the occasional skinks too (so cute!).- There's a decent sized BBQ which is great to whip up a quick meal.Creek Cottage- Creek Cottage is 10 steps across from the Homestead's lawn and id the perfect sized accommodation for us (a couple) and our dog.- Bed was huge and super comfy, clean linen, comfortable pillows... could not fault.- The dining area overlooks the creek so it was lovely to have a meal while enjoying nature at the same time (wild ducks, cockatoos, blue wrens, etc.)- Big bathroom with everything you'd expect in a hotel.- Well equipped kitchen with all the amenities and a pod coffee machine. We had both ovens cranking one night and got food out very quickly.- There is also a baby Webber at the Cottage which was handy.Overall comment- Accommodation was top notch and exactly what we were looking for in a country getaway. Loved the old world charm and the fact that it has free wi-fi and is pet-friendly was a bonus!- Our host Sarah was absolutely lovely to deal with and nothing was too difficult that she couldn't assist with. She was very accommodating and prompt with queries. Kept us up-to-date right up to the day of our arrival. First class service all the way!- Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would 100% recommend this place to family and friends.

Fantastic place to stay as a weekend retreat. Highly recommend if you want to get away from it all.

Great!

We stayed at Lochinver Farm in a group of eleven, and we were charmed. The farmhouse is well-appointed and the hosts are kind enough to provided both linen and towels. By chance, we had a record cold snap in Victoria, but the heating and cozy woollen doonas kept us warm though the nights.The farm itself is picturesque, with a lovely creek and plentiful birdlife (galahs, blue wrens, kookaburras, wood ducks...).And, of course, the local area is a great place to explore, with plentiful markets and tourist opportunities. Would definitely stay again.

A great place to stay. Friendly staff go the extra mile to care for you and make you feel welcome. Homely comforts, healthy country living. Amazing food and massages.

Such a beautiful, giant house. Wished we could've stayed longer.

Engaging, informative hosts. Scenic rural setting with focus on caring for their native environment

Fabulous vibe
