Hoddles Hideaway: Gembrook farmstay 40 acres of peace\/privacy. Blissfully quiet
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Gembrook, this attractive cottage for $160 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Only 1 3/4 hours drive from Melbourne CBD, half way between Gembrook and Launching Place, your fully self-contained private 2BR cottage nestled between bush and green fields awaits you. You are free to explore our 40 acres, meet our friendly sheep alpacas, chooks and cows. You can leave your busy city life behind you. Spend the days bush walking, riding Puffing Billy, grape grazing at local wineries, cycling, even snow playing in winter.. then relax and unwind in the spa bath, cook a BBQ whilst watching a spectacular sunset over the ranges. ( NB: Many accommodation places have several cottages-we only have ONE! -so peace and privacy is guaranteed) Once the stars are out in the clear country sky, the wildlife is active. Wombats, koalas, lyrebirds, kangaroos and bandicoots are some of the animals you'll spot at Hoddles Hideaway. The birdlife is also abundant, no noise, no neighbours, just peace and quiet.

We stayed here for a long weekend & loved it. House was clean & bathrooms were renovated. So much wildlife! We had a koala in a tree right outside the house, beautiful birds, adorable wombats plus the cows, chickens, sheep & llamas that we were given seeds & pellets to feed.

We had a wonderful country stay here. It was just what we were looking for to get away from the city and appreciate Victoria's countryside again. The house is perfect for two couples and the owners are lovely and helpful.

Lovely area. The cottage was magnificent but ...
Oven was filthy.
Dish rack rusty.
Tissue box had 6 or 7 tissues then there were none for our stay.
TV remote power switch inoperative so had to manually switch on and off and it needed new batteries. There were other issues.
Owner very apologetic and helpful.

4.0
It was nice, although my experience of staying in properties away from shops and off the beaten track are the hosts usually leave bread, milk, butter and a very special bonus of fresh farm eggs. It makes the stay extra memorable and special. Was a little disappointed that the hosts didn’t go the extra mile.

A great place in the woods of tropical rainforest and up in the hills of the Yarra Ranges to chill out with abandoned animals being cared for by the owners. Totally quiet calm and serene environment to chill out and recharge yourself. Caring hosts and care taker who are friendly and approachable.

Thank you Sheralee for looking after us so well. What a relaxing, quiet, private getaway. The farm animals were the highlight of the stay. Wish we didn't have to leave . Thank you.

This cottage was the perfect place for me and the kids to unwind after a hectic festive end-of-year. Kath was a responsive host who replied quickly when I enquired if I could invite a few extra kids on some nights.
If you have young kids - it's a good idea to come prepared with all the essentials - panadol, bandaids, stingose etc - as the general items you have on hand are a 20-30 min drive for essentials - but no problem if you come prepared.
Our highlight was greeting, feeding and patting the farm animals. Sheralee - the caretaker - was welcoming, very helpful about which animals were tame and which to leave alone - and encouraged interaction and egg collection from the chooks. She was a breath of fresh air and the kids raced to greet her each morning and talk to her about which of the animals had been naughty!
The sunsets and stars at night were beautiful and it was a lovely change of pace. Thanks for having us :)

Lovely cottage, a little hard to find.
Make sure you take supplies. Closest shops 1/2 hour drive.

My bridesmaids and I stayed here the night before my wedding. It was the perfect place to stay for a girls night! Slept the 6 of us comfortably (pairing up two to a bed) and the pink colour of the house made for really cute “girls weekend” photos in our matching pink pjs.
My 3 year old son got ready with us in the morning and the house had provided kids toys and play equipment which he loved. He also got to meet one of the sheep and was given farm fresh eggs which seemed to be the highlight of his morning.
If you are looking for a girls getaway or a bridal party retreat - this is your place!

Excellent house in an excellent location. We had a lovely couple of days despite the rain. Feedback would include upgrading the sofas opposite the tv (very lumpy & uncomfortable) and provide Wi-Fi which is a must for internal travellers. Regardless, we would highly, highly recommend.

Booking process and communication with Kath was so easy all the way to checking in. The property is perfect for a weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the country. And I loved interacting with the cows

Cute and cosy cottage!
We woke up to the sight of cows! Kids were all excited! Got to collect some eggs for lunch as well!
It’s a great place to stay to connect with nature; detach from the world and connect with your loved ones.
Kath is lovely and easy to communicate with.

Such a beautiful little house in an incredible landscape, the owners were lovely, the animals so friendly and so many of them. So many games and activities inside. It rained our whole stay but the beauty of the pink home in the rain and all the nature to explore meant it was actually such a lovely trip. The owner sent us a great detailed email of all the close by activities and restaurants which came in so handy. Overall just a great experience would recommend time and time again
