We'd never visited Yambuk before and we weren't sure what to expect. But, WOW - we are so glad we did. What an absolute gem of a place. The hosts, Mark and Zanna, are the loveliest people you'll come across - booking, check-in, check-out was a breeze.
The location was the thing we loved most. Mark and Zanna's house was a little slice of paradise just outside the bustling streets of Port Fairy. It was serene, quiet, but full of interesting things to see and do. The house especially - so thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. Every need was met - a wonderful kitchen to cook in, multiple living spaces to spread out in and the bedrooms equipt with everything you need for a delightful sleep.
The view was incredibly unique - the farmlands, lake and windfarm in the distance was a refreshing outlook. We could have lazed in the sunroom for hours (ok, we did!). The birdlife was extraordinary; we were regularly visited by Kanye the peacock - what a prince! And in the evenings we watched the flocks of birds fly back and forth over the lake. We canoed down lake Yambuk and explored by bike during the day.
This would be a great stay for couples looking for a bit of a secluded getaway, bird enthusiasts, adventurers or a couple of families wanting lots of fun and adventure against a peaceful setting. Thanks, Mark and Zanna for such a nourishing stay, we'll be back.
