About this house rental
Situated in Clunes, this charming entire house for $300 per night is a great choice for your next break. The Verandah at Clunes is a new architecturally designed house on a hilltop with the best views that historic Clunes can offer. The design features the Australian rural vernacular style, with the verandah wrapping around the whole house and providing enough space for outdoor dining and entertainment, no matter what the weather. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds, and one with twin beds. All the bedrooms open on to the verandah with glazed french doors. The huge country-style kitchen has an open fireplace, and is fully equipped, including a TV with Netflix and the all important coffee machine! A separate and intimate Study also has an open fire and TV, and all the books you could hope to read. There are 2 bathrooms, a Laundry and a walk-in pantry. The house has central heating and cooling, and ceiling fans for the summer months. Pets are welcome, but please, not on the furniture, and be aware that the property is not fenced. There is a bus and train service from Ballarat to Clunes, but travel by car is the easiest and quickest way to get to Clunes. The best local dining and shopping is 10 minute's walk or 1 minute's drive away in Fraser St. Fraser St is the beautiful main street that has been regularly featured in movies due to its pristine condition since the heady days of the Goldrush in the last half of the 19th Century. Clunes also features the best Lolly Shop in Victoria. Clunes is home to the famous Book Fair in May, and there are farmers and craft markets a-plenty in Creswick, Talbot and Clunes. The Clunes annual Agricultural Show is an event not to be missed! The house was designed to be a sanctuary for the weekend, and a place to recover and re boot from the stresses of modern life. We hope it does this for you!

Feb 2022Wonderful home overlooking Clunes with beautiful big proportioned rooms and hallways and a wrap-around verandah with places to soak up the serenity at any time of day. The house contained everything we needed and the Clunes community is warm and welcoming.

Jul 2021We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property.The house is very comfortable and we loved having two fires places. The eclectic decoration was great and gave us a number of ideas for our own home!The property was equipped with everything required for a four day stay. There was even some local honey which was super tasty.The location was good and very peaceful. The poor weather meant we could not enjoy the outside verandah but in the warmer months it would be a great spot to eat or enjoy a drink whilst looking out over the scenery.If we are back in the area we would certainly stay here again.

Mar 2019We only stayed 2 nights however felt immediately at home as did our 5 year old Australian Shepherd. This is an amazing property and we would not stay anywhere else next time we come to Clunes.

Jan 2021We loved our stay. The house is beautiful and all the artwork made it so special. The location is fantastic, quite with glorious views. Only minor downsides were a bit of dog hair in carpets etc, plus for the price I would have expected some fresh breakfast supplies rather than 'help yourself to anything in the pantry/fridge" which was full of open packets/jars/bottles of stuff that looked like it was left by previous guests. Having said that, we did love the house and would happily return again :)

Feb 2022We loved our stay at Clunes. The house was fascinating and so comfortable. We couldn't decide if our favourite place was the comfy library or the verandah overlooking the view.
Would love to come back in Winter

Sep 2022We had a lovely weekend here. Excellent value. The house is beautifully decorated with paintings/ murals and beautiful textiles. The 3 bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms are clean and modern and kitchen well appointed. We loved the open fireplace in the kitchen. The wide verandah is beautiful but unfortunately it was too cold for us to spend too much time out there- enjoying the amazing view down to the town. It would be wonderful to sit out there on a summers day.
Highly recommended and Hopefully we'll be back soon.

Feb 2022We had a lovely weekend getaway at The Porch in Clunes with family and friends to celebrate my "significant" birthday.
What an amazing home! We all loved every single detail of the home and it's grand proportions and scale.
The verandah is wonderful as are the twenty four hour ever changing views of the landscape.
Thanks for hosting us. We will be back for sure.

Aug 2019We had a lovely stay at The Verandah. The view over clunes town was such a treat. The property is really well looked after with all the little details - and it’s very comfortable and cosy. We would love to stay here again when we are in clunes (or the area) next. Thanks Sarah.

May 2022We had a fabulous stay at this well appointed warm house. The views are beautiful and the neighbourhood is quiet and an easy stroll to town. Thoroughly recommend a stay here, our only issue was as people who sew the lighting isn’t ideal.

Jan 2019This was a delightful weekend at one of the most beautiful houses in Clunes. The owner’s artwork adorns many of the walls, the beds were so comfortable and everything we could possibly need was provided. The views from the property were spectacular and the village of Clunes is a delight. We will definitely visit again!

Jan 2020This house has a wonderful view over the town of Clunes It is very spacious and with a veranda all the way around it meant one could always find a sunny or shady spot to sit and relax ! The property is dog friendly, although not fenced but was fine for our dogs who just like to be close to their owners!

May 2022The house is wonderful. It is extremely comfortable and the styling is amazing and interesting. It has everything you need (and more). We were a group of 3 couples staying for two nights on the weekend but I wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back.

Jan 2023The house is officially my dream house. The house is extremely spacious with a beautiful hallway, spacious kitchen, not to mention the verandah right around the house. We were 3 adults and 1 child and each one could enjoy their own space. The artistic detail in and around the house will inspire anyone who loves art and is artistic of nature. Time stood still for us for 3 days. I also loved the open spaces around the house. One of the best stays we had.

Mar 2021Our stay at The Verandah was delightful in every way - this is a very special house that has been carefully designed and beautifully furnished. We felt very welcome and every comfort was catered for. Sarah responded promptly to my queries and check in was simple. We were loathe to leave such a lovely place and hope to return soon. The fact that we were able to take our dog along too was the icing on the cake!

Jul 2022Our family had such a great weekend at the Verandah at Clunes. The house is stunning and has really lovely views off of the back of the property.
Our days started out sitting by the fireplace in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and finished in the same spot in the evening with a glass of wine, so cozy! Loved the covered deck that wrapped around the entire house, so many good spots to sit outside and take in the scenery.
The kitchen is really well stocked, as is the rest of the house. Also worth noting that we found the house great for kids as it's single story, has wood floors (easy cleanup), and has lots of space.
The rooms and beds were really comfortable, and even though it was very cold in Clunes over the weekend we were nice and toasty inside.
Right around the corner from the charming Fraser Street in Clunes with some great shops which we really enjoyed seeing.
Definitely recommend this house for a relaxing weekend away or a catchup with family and friends. Sarah is so lovely and was such a pleasure to deal with, thanks so much for letting us stay at your amazing house. Can't wait to come again in the summer!
