We had a wonderful stay in Lowden. The accommodation was immaculately presented when we arrived, kitchen, lounge, bedroom facilities are great and the outdoor deck is the place to be at the end of the day. Just 15 mins out of Donnybrook, it was easy access to all the surrounding areas with bushwalks, wineries, breweries, horse trails etc.
Location is off the main road so no traffic noise at all just the wind in the trees and birds chirping. There are views from everywhere! A short walk up the hill you get a spectacular sunset, down to the dams you get views of the valley and from the deck (and master bedroom) views of the farm. At night there's stars everywhere!
Pigs, alpacas, goats and sheep (plus the doggies) are very friendly and it's a real treat to wander along during feeding time. They all love a scratch too.
Kes, Luke and Rylan were great hosts, funny and friendly and happy to share their stories of life on the farm.
If you're in the Donnybrook area, can't recommend this place enough.
