We really enjoyed our extended stay in this cute and comfortable farm cottage. The kitchen was a joy to use, the Jenny and Louise kept us stocked in eggs and fresh veggies from the garden. There is a cosy fire, the bed was really comfy, shower nice and hot, good laundry facilities, and a great outdoor dining area overlooking the mountains.
Sierra Park is a beautiful farm set at the foot of the Southern Grampians. The view from the cottage is across sheep paddocks, dotted with huge red gums, to the mountains that changed colour every day. Some spectacular sunrise and sunsets painted the valley pink. We loved exploring the farm laneways and watching mobs of woolly merino sheep being moved back and forth to the Shearing Shed. The family were so generous and happily answered all of my questions about farming, of which I knew nothing!
The location of the Cottage is also an excellent base to explore the area. Dunkeld is a lovely village with a good general store, a restaurant, café and a couple of art galleries. Hamilton is an easy 25min drive and as anything you need. Walking in the Southern Grampians is fantastic- Chimney Pots Loop, Mt Abrupt, Signal Peak and Mount Sturgeon are all easily accessible.
Jenny and Louse are amazing hosts, warm, welcoming, responsive and proactive. We hope to be back an again soon!
