Monthly Rentals in Maindample

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Fiona & Lar’s Merlewood. Our accommodation was spotless, & very cosy. The roomy cottage was surrounded by beautiful peaceful Australian countryside. Bed was incredibly comfortable and large. Nights were spent cooking a meal, followed by a spa one night, and movie. Mornings were enjoyed taking in the beautiful sun filled view from every room after opening the blinds. Followed by a walk up the back hill, a sit on the deck, a sight seeing by car to Alexandra for lunch at the large cafe there, and enjoyed hiring a kayak at Jerusalem Creek to paddle around Eildon weir. Another day we drove to Yarck and purchased some essential oiled natural skin products at DINDI. There was also Op shop visits in Alexandra & Yea where we found a couple of bargains. This is the perfect place for a couple to unwind, & take in the scenery & tranquility, and use as a base to explore the region. Thanks Fiona & Lars making this lovely stay possible.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The surroundings are so peaceful and the view to the lake is stunning. It was fun to explore an area of Victoria we hadn’t been to and always looked forward to getting back to the cabin to unwind and relax.

Review The home is simply beautiful, really captures the essence of the 1902 build, we had a comfortable stay and as our daughter said to us as we left it was “a magical time”. We spent our Easter at this magnificent farm, where the children had space to run and explore, and experience farm life. They had opportunities to feed and brush the Highland cows, pat the entertaining goats and to gather eggs from the chickens. The secure yard was the perfect space for our dog to roam, and children to play. Nicole and Colin are lovely hosts, they met us on arrival and provided a memorable experience with their animals. We absolutely highly recommend this location.

Lovely place with a beautiful outlook over the local oval. Short walk down to the lake. Great balcony to sit on and watch the birds settle in for the afternoon. Bev very accommodating.
