Farmstay vacation rentals in Macedon Ranges Shire

Ruth’s property at Woodend North was a beautiful place to stay and would recommend to others. The property is situated away from noise, apart from nature with the birds and very occasional cow mooing. A lovely place to relax. My small dog was with us and the place was safe and enclosed for her to run around she enjoyed it. Breakfast the next day provided by Ruth was healthy and delicious with some homemade products. If only we were there more than one night. The town of Woodend North is picturesque, with great places to eat a less than 10min drive away. We would stay again if the opportunity arose. Make sure to follow Ruth’s directions, as maps Apps can take you along a dirt road that could get boggy if there’s of rain. Lucky for us it was Summer and sunny.

Absolutely loved Patrick’s place. Beautiful, peaceful property. We brought our dog and she loved it too. Highly recommend visiting, especially in Autumn!

We stayed over for 2 nights and had a wonderful time at the property. The kitchen, living and dining area is very spacious and perfect for large family with kids. Kitchen pantry had all the essential cooking ingredients - which was helpful. Host was proactive in reaching out to us and checking if we were comfortable.

We loved staying at duck tree lodge, a perfect base for exploring Woodend and beyond! House had everything we could have asked for and was super cosy. The hosts were terrific and very helpful! The kids loved it!

We stayed for two nights at Marg’s place and loved every bit.We spent most of our time in longer in front of the fireplace which kept up warm,watching the kangaroos .The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed our meals there.The place is very well fenced but as we had huskies who can’t be trusted off leash,we kept them on lead.There is a lot of area to walk around and explore .

Fun homely homestead with access to po & games room.

Great place to relax and be device free. Lovely fire. The kids enjoyed the access to the tennis court. Just a short drive to the fantastic walks at Hanging Rock.

We had a lovely stay. Took in the views from the many locations on the property. Fire pit in the afternoon was a treat for a Uke strum and sing along. Could have stayed for a week! Thanks David. Was great to meet you on arrival and hear the history of the property. It's a special place!

My family and I went here to celebrate our dad’s 60th and it was perfect! We brought along our dogs and it was a joy to have them there with us. The property had beautiful views and gorgeous farm animals which made our experience so much better than we could’ve even imagined. Thank-you so much Ricardo for hosting us!

A wonderful weekend at Liz and Keith’s barn stay! Despite cold weather, a very well insulated cabin kept us warm with the cozy fireplace. The place had everything we needed!! Some thoughtful extra touches including some eggs provided by the cute chooks on the property which were so nice to eat in the morning. My partner and I had such a lovely time. Thank you Liz and Keith for allowing us to have such a relaxing time away as well as letting us meet your beautiful alpacas!!

A little haven in the country. So peaceful and quiet and just what the doc ordered. Beautifully appointed, lovely and warm as the rain lashed down outside and comms with Genevieve were excellent. Everything was top notch and we’d highly recommend a stay here with the Roos for company!

The property and surrounds are beautiful. I couldn’t have ask for a more quiet and restful long weekend. Having my British Bulldog accompany me was a highlight and she loved exploring the grounds. My little Kia Picanto had no trouble navigating the flat unsealed roads. Ben the co-host gave us a private wine tasting on site which was delightful.

Emily and Aaron were fantastic hosts and the property was everything and more than we had hoped for. We enjoyed feeding their goats and petting their gorgeous dog during our stay. The nights sky was clear and full or the most beautiful stars. The property was stunning and the added touches of sourdough and eggs made our mornings perfect. We were close enough to visit Castlemaine for massages, Daylesford for coffee and shopping, Kyneton for shopping and food and Trentham for delicious dinners and sightseeing. We would love to return again and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful get away. You can do as much or as little as you want to during your stay.

Lovely peaceful getaway, definitely recommend if looking for a nice relaxing weekend away

An amazing very well appointed cottage with every item you could need. For a small two person studio sized cottage it offered enough space both inside and out to chill. Amazing is the best way to describe it. Peaceful, comfortable and fresh & clean. I could only recommend this place highly, for a couple looking for a quiet retreat and peaceful couple of nights it was ideal. Heather was responsive and the whole process was easy. Well done Heather on a great set up!

Thank you Aleks for sharing your beautiful place. We all enjoyed what it has to offered and felt like new people after we left. The forest is absolutely breathtaking!!! We'll definitively go back in summer. Best wishes.

Was a very relaxing place to stay

My partner and I had an amazing stay, with breakfast included to get you going, it does make a difference! The property was very nice to wander around and the house itself had a nice homey vibe to it. It had everything you need along with the heated floors in the bathroom! Would recommend to anybody looking for a private and relaxing get away!

Amazing stay and great property and hosts! Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away from the city and escape to the countryside!

thanks for a beautiful stay. we had a lovely time exploring and relaxing. the house is lovely and exactly what we needed!

Prue’s little Gatehouse was sooo cozy and perfect for a girls weekend. We loved having the fire on and keeping warm. Her property is so gorgeous and was a short drive into town. Perfect location and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay at Dee’s place. It is a beautiful peace of heaven in the middle of nature, surrounded by forest and wildlife. We felt so comfortable. Thank you so much!

We recently enjoyed a truly relaxing stay at this beautiful vineyard/farm stay at Newham. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the calm and serene surroundings, making it the perfect escape from the hustle of daily life. The accommodation was spotless—clean, tidy, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the board games, pool table, and firepit, which made for cozy evenings filled with fun and laughter. The location was another highlight, being close to Hanging Rock, allowing for easy access to explore the stunning landscapes nearby. Whether unwinding by the fire or indulging in some friendly competition at the games table, every aspect of this stay was truly enjoyable. Apologies for the delay in posting this review, but this stay was absolutely excellent, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, rejuvenating getaway!

We have just returned from four fantastic nights at The Hidden Forest. Better than the pictures, the interior of the space is warm, cosy and comfortable (and astoundingly well insulated - we almost forgot we had children! The outdoor spaces were fantastic and activities provided for kept us all busy for the four days of the stay. The older kids loved the zip line, archery and row boat, our younger feeding the sheep , chickens and parrots. Temps were warm during our stay but we had to experience the fire at least one night - it gave us confidence for a trip back in winter, it was a cracker (so much so that we had to turn on the air conditioning, and much gave us confidence for a trip back in summer too!) Gisborne was close enough for supplies, and sights like mt Macedonian & Kyneton only a short drive away. We loved our stay at Khattariya’s space and are already planning a return.
