At Locheilan, guests can relax completely as it is so peaceful despite being a working dairy farm. Visiting dogs love to sniff out rabbits, or just be brave behind the fence around the cows and calves. In winter, dogs also love to curl up in front of the open fire, and if they are wet and happy from outdoor activities, they get lots of towels to dry off on the verandah before coming back in. Locheilan is a traditional in-house B&B. Comfort, peace,and a lovely garden setting with wonderful birds awaits those who want a break only 200 km north of Melbourne. We make our own cheese, so taste delights await you. Guests can visit the cheesery to learn more about the making of cheese as well as tasting the whole range, not just the platter they receive on arrival. And if they wish, there ... Read more

If you love peace tranquility and wildlife this is the place for you. Abundant bird life and when walking along the banks of the Gunny Creek you may spot a wallaby or two. The Gunbower Creek  is a great spot for fishing and in summer it is a popular place for swimming and water skiing. Murray cod, yellow belly and carp are often caught in the creek. Boats can be launched at the nearby boat ramp, which is just a five minute walk from the cottage. It is currently difficult to fish from the bank of the creek due to the large amount of water lilies growing in the shallow water, but we have installed a fishing jetty nearby to make it easier for those visitors without a boat to fish. Row boat, canoe and kayak are available for tenants' use at no extra charge. Kids life jackets are su... Read more

At 2520km it is the longest river in Australia , and the length of this river means that it passes through many different landscapes – and offers many different experiences including fishing, cruising and relaxing on the sandy beaches. Tokemata Retreat is nestled on 50 acres beside the famous red gum forests of the Murray and offers wonderful accommodation to suit a range of needs, and the peace and tranquillity of the delightful gardens is a bonus. The region is famous for many things, including challenging golf courses such as Yarrawonga, Tocumwal and Cobram Barooga.  But it would be a mistake to think that golf is the only option in this wonderful region&he...

Australia abounds in hidden jewels and Yarriambiack (meaning water through the gum trees) is an Edwardian gem that will absolutely delight you.

Set in 6 acres and featuring well-maintained gardens (thanks to bore water), Yarriambiack enjoys glorious bush views and yet is only minutes away from the attractions of Yarrawonga/Mulwala.  First stop should be a relaxing drink or cup of tea on the sweeping verandah, which not only features great views of the gardens and surrounding bush, but is also the ideal place to allow the cares of everyday living to slip away. The property has a heated, salt water... Read more
