We absolutely loved our stay here! Leon is so welcoming, and goes out of his way to make your stay special. It really is like staying in someone’s home and bring thoroughly spoilt. Our room was beautiful and well appointed, the rest of the house had everything you need if you wish to self cater, and the breakfast was amazing and plentiful. We will definitely be staying here again! A couple of things to note (which other reviewers have mentioned) you are staying away from Ballarat (but we loved the peaceful location) snd it’s someone’s home so common areas are shared with other guests (but we found the other guests lovely)

The house is super warm, comfortable and welcoming. On arrival there was a beautiful open fire on. Other guests were there as well. It was like ‘going home’ even though it was our fist visit. An abundance of refreshments including fruit, tea coffee, biscuits and even beautiful selection of wines at basic cost. Leon could not do enough for us. Breakfast was included and was exceptional! You’re a little far from town, so just make sure you have some supplies to cook, otherwise town is only around 20 mins away The house was immaculately kept and the gardens/environment really beautiful too. Highly recommend to any travelers. I think it would be particularly nice for a group of 3 couples as well….. really lovely. Leon is very friendly but respectful of your space too.

Lovely quiet location for an overnight getaway. Our host Leon was very helpful, even moving his car out of the garage so we could park our motorbikes in there overnight. The house was spotless with great amenities and the beds were extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Our room was beautiful and well appointed, the rest of the house had everything you need if you wish to self cater, and the breakfast was amazing and plentiful. We will definitely be staying here again! A couple of things to note (which other reviewers have mentioned) you are staying away from Ballarat (but we loved the peaceful location) snd it’s someone’s home so common areas are shared with other guests (but we found the other guests lovely)
We absolutely loved our stay here! Leon is so welcoming, and goes out of his way to make your stay special. It really is like staying in someone’s home and bring thoroughly spoilt.

The house is super warm, comfortable and welcoming. On arrival there was a beautiful open fire on. Other guests were there as well. It was like ‘going home’ even though it was our fist visit. An abundance of refreshments including fruit, tea coffee, biscuits and even beautiful selection of wines at basic cost. Leon could not do enough for us. Breakfast was included and was exceptional! You’re a little far from town, so just make sure you have some supplies to cook, otherwise town is only around 20 mins away The house was immaculately kept and the gardens/environment really beautiful too. Highly recommend to any travelers. I think it would be particularly nice for a group of 3 couples as well….. really lovely. Leon is very friendly but respectful of your space too.

Really enjoyed a homestay where we comfortably used the kitchen to cook our evening meal and then relax in front of the slow combustion stove. Bedroom and bathroom were good quality and Leon the host was very hospitable. Nice continental breakfast too.

The setting of this place is wonderful, with a good view of the fields around it, and kangaroos playing about. Very peaceful and a very good sleep.

Leon is the G.O.A.T. From providing free breakfast, to being an absolute legend, he made our stay feel very welcoming and reassuring with a comfortable spacious room, tv, Netflix, and comfortable lounge room and dining spaces. He went above and beyond to make us feel at home and relaxed. If I could give Helen’s homestead 6 stars, I would. Xoxo
