This farm stay accomodation is very stylish and clean; a really lovely looking space which is separated living at the very end of a long elegant building.
It really is best designed for ‘couples only’ to stay and use the space rather than friends or a family.
We stayed as two friends and used the queen bed downstairs and one of the single beds up in the loft - use of the single bed was $35 extra on top of the original price displayed and paid for in AirBnB. This booking needs to be based on the number of BEDS that will be utilised NOT on the number of guests that will be staying. I always search for ‘Entire Home’ when I book accomodation I’m through AirBnB, so I wasn’t aware at the time of booking that additional costs can be put on each bed within the ‘entire home’. I was contacted 2 days before our stay and advised that extra payment would be required if my friend and I were not a couple or were not intending to share the queen bed. I have included this, in case others like me haven’t encountered this type of booking before.
The bathroom is spacious and clean.
The kitchenette has a microwave and coffee pod machine on display, a bar fridge and toaster and sandwich maker in open storage for use. The bench space is incredibly tiny and my friend and I found it very difficult to use the Kitchenette, due to the very limited beach space available. There’s no sink or tap in the kitchenette, the only water facility is the basin in the bathroom.
There are no drapes or blinds so the lodge has full outside light coming inside as soon as day breaks.
There’s lots to see, do and eat in Warrandyte - a 20 minute drive from the farm stay. There’s great cafes, restaurants, a gallery and a beautiful old bookshop full of literary treasures from time gone by. The river is beautiful and there’s places to picnic or walk along its banks.
Rob Dolan Winery - 8 minutes from Warrandyte and 24 minutes from the farm stay - is well worth checking out.
