A Home with a Story... Welcome to The Homestead, a beautifully crafted country estate blending rustic elegance with timeless charm. Just over an hour from Melbourne and close to Mt Baw Baw, this retreat is rich with character—vaulted ceilings, a 6-metre stone fireplace, and Oregon beams salvaged from the historic Carlton United Brewery. The wraparound veranda and stone walls use materials collected from heritage sites around Melbourne. Thoughtful Interiors... Inside, handcrafted mudbricks, clay floors, and modern French-inspired decor create a warm, sophisticated atmosphere. The full chef’s kitchen opens into a generous dining area with a 12-seater timber table—ideal for shared meals or creative work. Multiple lounge zones, styled with leather suites and plush throws, offer space to unwind. Designed for Connection... Perfect for family getaways, micro weddings, or restful escapes, every bedroom includes high-quality mattresses and crisp hotel linen. A stunning loft studio with views to Mt Baw Baw adds extra charm. Outdoor Living... Step outside to enjoy a north-facing pergola with a seasonal plunge pool, wood-fired pizza oven, electric BBQ, alfresco dining, and a wide veranda shaded by mature trees. Ideal for Longer Stays... With fast Wi-Fi and ample space, the Homestead is also ideal for remote teams or extended breaks. Weekly and monthly discounts available. Sustainable Comfort... Eco-friendly design keeps the home comfortable year-round using passive heating from the sun, mudbrick walls, and a wood fire in winter. Wildlife and Nature... Explore a tranquil billabong, spot native birds, and watch farm animals graze naturally. Exclusive Truffle Experience... Join Ron and Michelle from nearby Scotch Hill for a winter truffle hunt—an optional extra bookable online. Create Lasting Memories... Whether gathered by the fire or dining under the stars, every moment here becomes part of your story.
